Shatoya Hoyle, LAPC​ , NCC

LICENSED ASSOCIATE PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR IN GEORGIA

Welcome! I’m Shatoya Hoyle, a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a passion for walking alongside individuals as they navigate life’s challenges. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in trauma and crisis, and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Georgia State University.

Since beginning to practice in 2022, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, adolescents, adults, and older adults through a variety of life experiences. I also proudly serve individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community. My work is grounded in empathy, acceptance, and the belief that every person is capable of growth and healing.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), play therapy, and other evidence-based modalities to best meet the unique needs of each client. Whether someone is facing emotional overwhelm, navigating trauma, or seeking to reconnect with themselves or their relationships, I aim to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where genuine connection and transformation can take place.

My own life experiences, including witnessing and overcoming personal and familial adversity, deeply inform my work. Even as a child, I was drawn to offering support and understanding to others, and becoming a therapist felt like a natural calling—one that continues to fulfill me both spiritually and emotionally.

Outside of private practice, I’ve worked in senior living facilities, crisis stabilization units, and as a responder on the 988 crisis hotline. These diverse experiences have enriched my perspective and deepened my commitment to helping people find hope and resilience in the face of hardship.
If you’re looking for someone to walk beside you on your healing journey with warmth, authenticity, and compassion, I’d be honored to support you on your journey of growth, self-love, and happiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

A mental health counselor assesses and treats mental and emotional health disorders, relationships issues and life challenges. The therapist utilizes various methods of psychotherapy work with the patients to develop meaningful behavioral changes and offer coping strategies for navigating life stressors.

Therapy offers a safe nonjudgmental space for you to talk about problems, traumatic experiences, behavioral modifications, and anything that’s overwhelming you are even just making life a little tough. Your therapist listens to what you have to say and then works with you to develop a plan to confront challenges, process trauma, change cognition, and achieve an improved quality of life

In almost every instance, therapy is absolutely confidential. Your therapist is required to maintain confidentiality about everything said in sessions between the two of you, just like a doctor is required to keep your records private. While there are laws and regulations in place to protect your privacy, confidentiality is also a key part of psychology’s code of ethics. This means your therapist understands from the very beginning that in order for you to feel comfortable sharing openly with them, you need to know your information is safe. Remember you can always talk with your therapist if you have questions about the Confidentiality agreement between the two of you during your sessions. Knowing that you can say anything to your therapist, and it will remain in the room, helps you feel safe and builds trust between you and the therapist.

The general rule of thumb for frequency of sessions is once per week, especially in the beginning. Therapy requires a concentrated effort on a consistent basis to realize the fullest benefit from the therapeutic relationship – in other words, it takes work to get good results from the client.
