Latonia Grissom-Blue Pollard

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Michigan with over 17 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges with compassion, respect, and clinical expertise. My professional background spans a range of settings, including private practice, telehealth, and school-based environments, allowing me to work effectively with diverse populations across the lifespan, including adolescents, teens and adults.

I recognize that life can feel overwhelming at times. While some challenges may be manageable on your own, there are moments when additional support can make a meaningful difference. Seeking therapy is a courageous and important step, and I am committed to providing a safe, nonjudgmental, and culturally responsive space where you feel heard, understood, and supported.

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all model; instead, I work closely with you to understand your unique experiences, goals, and strengths. I view therapy as a partnership, one in which your voice is valued, and your input guides the process. Together, we will focus on fostering insight, building emotional resilience, and creating sustainable, meaningful change.

My clinical experience includes helping clients navigate a wide range of concerns, such as ADHD, anger management, anxiety, autism spectrum, mood disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, learning disabilities, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, self-esteem challenges, self-harm, social anxiety, stress, and trauma.

My work is grounded in an integrative, evidence-based framework.
I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Mindfulness-Based Practices, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Play Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. This comprehensive approach allows me to meet you where you are and equip you with practical, effective tools that support growth both in and outside of the therapy session.

At the core of my practice is the belief that healing, growth, and transformation are possible for every individual. Whether you are navigating emotional distress, relationship challenges, life transitions, or seeking greater self-understanding, I am here to support you in moving forward with clarity and confidence.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel uncertain, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I welcome the opportunity to work with you and support you on your journey toward an improved well-being and a more fulfilling, balanced life.
