Hi, my name is Lakisha Austin also known as Coach LA. I am a psychotherapist and life coach with a down-to-earth approach to providing therapeutic support.

Step into my office and listen to real people have candid conversations about this thang called LIFE. Don’t hesitate to Chime in & help me encourage individuals to own their stuff & set boundaries to fix their life!
