Latina Heard is a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) who manages and treats a variety of mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and ADHD. She is culturally sensitive and treats each person as an individual in a compassionate and understanding manner. Latina's role as a PMHNP is not limited to medical management; additionally, she functions as an advocate and patient educator in this role. Many of her clients tell her she is the listening ear they've needed.
Latina completed her Advanced Practice Registered Nurse studies at Walden University. She honed her listening skills as a registered nurse while working in various disciplines; however, the role that established her as a behavioral health professional was working in the dual diagnosis (substance abuse and mental illness) setting as well as her role as a charge nurse on the geriatric psychiatric unit. Latina has a willingness to care for people from various backgrounds and does not esteem one person above the other. The qualities her colleagues admire about her are her patience, empathy, and communication style.
Medical management is her primary role as an NP; however, she does also utilize talk therapy while providing a safe and confidential space for the expression of feelings. Many people are reluctant to seek help because they view being vulnerable as a weakness. Latina would like to support those that are skeptical about mental health services in this journey. She will work cooperatively with you to determine the best treatment for your individual situation. Schedule an appointment with her today.

Codependency therapy with our Thriveworks Atlanta therapists helps people reduce and overcome codependent habits, which involve sacrificing one’s own needs to meet the needs of others (usually those closest to them). It helps to improve one’s well-being as well as the health of their relationships.
Codependency therapy works by helping the individual recognize, understand, and accept codependent patterns — including why and how they might’ve developed. In addition, it focuses on helping the individual to kick these tendencies and build more balanced relationships that allow them to support others without neglecting their own needs.
Codependency therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Codependent counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer. It depends on the exact needs of the client as well as the severity of their codependent challenges and other needs or preferences.
People often sacrifice their own well-being to meet another’s needs, or they may shield their loved ones from the consequences of their poor behavior—all in the hopes of caring for them. However, these behaviors ultimately bring more harm than health, and they are codependent.
Thriveworks Atlanta in Sandy Springs offers therapy for codependency because many people struggle with when, where, and how to be supportive in relationships without losing their own health in the process.
A codependent person’s actions and thoughts center upon another person and they may become trapped in a cycle, where compensation and sacrifice only leads to having more and more demanded of them.
How can you tell the difference between being helpful and being codependent? Here are characteristics of codependent behavior:
Many people need the support of a counselor as they identify unhealthy habits and replace them with new patterns of behavior. Through therapy, many people have learned how to:
Would you like to be free from your codependent habits? Is it time to prioritize your own health? If you are ready to take these steps, we are ready to give support and guidance.
Thriveworks Atlanta in Sandy Springs, GA offers therapy for codependency—call or schedule online today.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
