So nice to meet you!
Regardless of your specific situation, my goal is to validate your feelings and experience, help you develop self-compassion, and create more balance in your life.
I’m Camille Latture (La-Tour), LCSW-C, psychotherapist and owner of Affirm + Empower.
Does it ever feel like no matter how hard you're working, you are still failing to meet somebody's expectations (maybe your own)? Or that while your plate is constantly overflowing, you keep saying "yes" in order to avoid uncomfortable conversations? Do you find your feelings shifting between exhaustion, anxiety, guilt, numbness? Or are you feeling like between work, parenting, the mental load, big life changes, or other identity issues, you don’t quite know who you are anymore, or how to take care of this version of yourself?
If any of this sounds like you, I’m here to help!
I am a therapist who is passionate about helping parents (both new and seasoned), educators and other folks in helping professions, young adults and teens who are dealing with issues of anxiety, burnout, people pleasing, perfectionism, coping with change, and identity. Prior to working in private practice therapy, I worked in public schools for 8 years, providing therapy and social work services to children and teens—giving me firsthand experience of the unique joys and stresses of working in schools.
As a therapist, I bring a warm, relaxed vibe and a sense of humor to sessions. While I have the training and credentials, I do not position myself as an authority in our work together—you are the expert on your experiences, and I have just as much to learn from you as you do from me. Our work together will be customized to your individual needs and concerns at the present moment. I consider our relationship as client and therapist, and the safety and trust built between us, to be the most important part of our work together.
If you’re looking for a laid-back therapist who doesn’t take herself too seriously, who will gently challenge you to set boundaries, prioritize yourself, and make those changes you’ve been contemplating, go ahead and send me a message! I would be honored to engage in this work with you.
When I’m not in session…
I’m usually with my family: my husband, our 2-year-old daughter, and our 8-year-old pom/chi mix, Kyle. I’m an introvert and a huge hobbyist—reading fiction, embroidery, bullet journaling, and cozy gaming are some of my favorites. I love BRAVO and welcome any reality TV recommendations (or discussions about your favorite Real Housewive).
