Description
Hi, my name is Lakisha Austin, also known as Coach LA "Your Favorite Around The Way Therapist".
I am a psychotherapist and life coach with a down-to-earth approach to providing therapeutic support. I love using music, an empathetic ear, a witty sense of humor, and unapologetic clinical skills to debunk myths about therapy.
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!
Share your experiences, relationship issues, and daily stressors on the live interactive Facebook chat!
My virtual office hours are Sundays 11am-12noon on the UrbanHeat 98.1fm!
Call-In 617.238.7111, Tune In, or Just Listen live at https://www.heat981fm.com/ weekly on Sundays at 10 pm.
Listen to the replay weekly on Thursdays or watch it LIVE on the UrbanHeat Facebook page.
