About Me

My name is Latesha Adkins, LCSW, and I know firsthand how overwhelming the weight loss journey can feel. For years, I struggled with my weight facing the emotional ups and downs, the “quick fix” promises, and the endless cycle of starting over. In February 2024, I made a decision that changed my life. Through consistency, mindset shifts, and sustainable habits not surgery, medications, or restrictive diets I lost over 160 pounds naturally in less than two years.

But what I gained was far greater than what I lost: I gained my confidence, my health, my joy, and my life back.

That’s why I created Therapy Driven Weight Loss (TDWL). As a licensed therapist, I saw how much mental and emotional health played a role in my own transformation, and I realized countless others were struggling with the same barriers emotional eating, stress, self-doubt, and all-or-nothing thinking. TDWL is not a diet program. It’s a therapy-based, sustainable lifestyle approach that combines practical tools with mental health strategies to help you break free from the cycle and finally see lasting change.

If you’ve tried everything and felt like nothing worked, you’re in the right place. Therapy Driven Weight Loss is about progress over perfection, moderation over deprivation, and learning how to live the life you deserve one step at a time.
