ABOUT
 Dr. LaKeisha Thomas, PhD, LCSW, LMSW, AAT, EFT, HHP, BA, 
Doula, DSWc

LaKeisha Thomas is the founder and Clinical Director of Holistic Therapy & Wellness. A Michigan Licensed Master’s Social Worker with a clinical designation, she provides psychotherapy and clinical supervision grounded in professional ethics, cultural responsiveness, and respect for each person’s identity, experiences, and goals.

Dr. Thomas holds a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work. She also holds a PhD in Metaphysical Science from HPOC University, with a focus on Holistic Health, and is pursuing a Doctor of Social Work degree. Her metaphysical doctorate reflects spiritual and holistic study; her authority to provide clinical social work services comes from her social work licensure.

Her approach considers the relationships among emotional well-being, physical experiences, relationships, culture, spirituality, and environment. She collaborates with clients to develop treatment goals and select interventions appropriate to their needs, preferences, and her professional training.

Her additional training includes animal-assisted approaches, Emotional Freedom Techniques, nature-based practices, holistic herbology, and doula support. When appropriate, complementary approaches may be discussed or incorporated with informed consent and within her professional scope. Spiritual exploration is guided by each client’s beliefs and preferences. Holistic education and doula support are distinguished from psychotherapy and medical care.

Dr. Thomas is also the founder of Her Choice Advocacy, a nonprofit organization supporting survivors of sexual assault, human trafficking, and incest, including those experiencing pregnancy resulting from sexual violence. Her advocacy centers dignity, autonomy, access to support, and social justice.

As an author and speaker, she explores mental health, maternal well-being, community care, and personal growth. Her published motivational therapy journal offers reflective exercises and practical tools to support self-exploration.

As a queer woman, mother of three children, and mother of three angel babies, Dr. Thomas brings personal understanding of identity, parenting, grief, and belonging to her commitment to affirming care. Outside her professional work, she enjoys plants, collecting rocks, and reading.

Her goal is to offer a collaborative, compassionate space where clients feel respected and supported as they work toward meaningful change.
