Who We Are
Rhonda LaPoint

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who has practiced in both community and clinical settings for over 15 years.
I work with a variety of clients including adults, adolescents, and families. My approach
is client-focused, strength-based, and collaborative using a variety of clinical interventions that can support each person to heal and grow.
My experience includes working with clients who have experienced trauma, or significant loss or are going through a phase of life challenges. Other specialties include adult ADHD, anxiety, depression, women’s issues, relationship issues, anger management, and other mood disorders. I also have worked with teachers and school staff, training them in effectively support children and adolescents with ADHD and other impulsive behavior issues.
I also train clinicians to effectively intervene and assess crisis situations. It is important to me to participate in a variety of experiential programs that promote personal and interpersonal understanding. This includes (3) long-term Women’s Leadership Collaboratives at Hope Springs (Peebles Ohio) as well as facilitating Women’s Circles for over 10 years.
