My name is Leticia Graham.  I am married and have a 10-year-old daughter.  I received my Bachelor of Science in Health with an emphasis on Substance Abuse in 1995 from the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Florida.  I later returned to the University of North Florida and received my Master of Science in Health with an emphasis on Health Education/Health Promotion (2002) and my Master of Public Health (2003).  After 15 years of working as a substance abuse counselor with both adolescents and adults (many of whom also had mental health challenges) in Jacksonville, Florida, I was laid off and became a stay-at-home mom.  It was during this time that I realized how much I missed counseling and wanted to get back into it.  In 2015, I decided to go back to school to pursue a Master of Professional Counseling through Grand Canyon University.  I earned my Master of Science in Profession Counseling in June 2020. As a Christian, I want to serve those in need, who may feel broken, like they are drowning, or just need someone to talk with without any judgement.  I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults.  It is also important to me to let people who look like me know that we too have challenges with mental health and it is okay to seek assistance.
