A Holistic Approach to Wellness with LaTesha McIntosh-Smith of A Peace of Mind Counseling
Description
“We wanted to be able to create a sense of a peace of mind. That's one of the things I'm always talking to people about. When you're tired of being tired, you just want a peace of mind.”

LaTesha joins Development Guide Loren Walsh to discuss her background as a licensed clinical social worker and her journey into entrepreneurship, A Peace of Mind's four-tiered approach: outpatient mental health clinical services, integrative wellness services, civic engagement, and educational department, and the company's civic engagement initiatives to give back to the community.
