LaToya Gatewood, M.S. PSY ABA, mediator
latoya.gatewood35@gmail.com 702 Vandiver Dr., Columbia MO 65202 (573) 529-1091 My background, education, and experience has always centered on children and families. I am passionate about helping families achieve and succeed. I currently hold a Masters (MS) in Psychology with an Applied Behavior Analyst specialization and working towards obtaining my license as a professional mental health counselor. I have also facilitated numerous child abuse and neglect cases where the focus was to do what is in the best interest of the child while supporting the families in addressing their challenges and dilemmas. Mediation gives families the opportunity to come together, communicate with one another to determine a solution and achieve the best plan that will work for them. As a mediator, facilitating meaningful communication and discussions surrounding some of those difficult issues including divorce, separation, parenting plans, and arrangements for children with a successful resolution is something that I strive for. |
