So nice to meet you!
I’m Camille Latture (La-Tour), LCSW-C, psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and owner of Affirm + Empower.
I’m a therapist who loves helping women, femmes, + afab folks (including teens!) who are dealing with issues of anxiety, OCD, burnout, fawning/people pleasing, and perinatal mental health issues. I also have increasingly been working with folks who have experienced relational trauma—typically adult children of emotionally immature parents who are trying to navigate setting boundaries in these difficult family relationships.
I bring to this work not only specialized training in these areas, but also lived experience. There is a saying among therapists that “we are our own ideal client”—I find this to be mostly true, as a person who specializes mostly in areas that I have direct lived experience. I believe my lived experiences of struggling with OCD, fawning, burnout and over-identification with my work allow me to provide an additional layer of empathy and understanding to my clients.
Regardless of the specifics of your situation, my initial goal with each client is always the same: establish trust and safety, validate your feelings and experiences, and collaborate on a path forward, so that you can start living a life more in line with your values, rather than one driven by anxiety, fear, or exhaustion. I’d love to join you in this work!
How I Show Up
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, send me a message or schedule a free consultation! I would be honored to engage in this work with you.
Outside of Session…
I’m usually with my husband, our 2.5 year-old daughter, and our pomeranian-chihuahua mix, Kyle. I’m a pretty major homebody and hobbyist, so I love spending my free time crafting (I love embroidery, collage, and bullet journaling—I want to try air dry clay next!), playing cozy games, reading, and watching my silly little tv shows (almost always Reality TV). I love to sit at a coffee shop with an iced matcha and a little treat, or go thrifting with my friends.
