About MeHi, I am Lacrecia Dangerfield known by some as Dr. Dangerfield or Dr. Lacrecia. I am a licensed professional counselor and approved clinical supervisor, who has been called to equip and empower other counselors and women leaders, create a blue print to make the rest of their life the best of their life. I wholeheartedly believe that God has called us to live and lead a liberated life, free of regrets and fear. It is my sole mission and greatest joy to help you do, just that!
My StorySince I was young, I have always been the one that friends and family would come to about life challenges. Back then, I never had any thoughts about being in the counseling profession. In fact, I remember praying to God in my last semester of undergrad to pass my psychology class. Needless to say, I didn't start out where I ended. My first career experiences were spent in retail management and in the financial banking industry.
Fast forward a few years and a counseling degree later, I was working on my doctorate in counseling education and supervision when I experienced a great sense of emptiness and grief... and I just couldn't shake it. I can remember like it was yesterday, watching "Eat, Pray, Love", thinking about where I was in my life. At this point I had over 25 years of success working in the public and private sector, but still I felt empty. I just was not happy! It was in that moment, I decided to leave my job and fully pursue my dream, returning to my first love of being an entrepreneur, once again. My faith in God has enabled me to push past my fears and move into action. I truly understand the difficulty of changing one's life and facing life's transitions. Becoming the person God has called you to be, is not easy. Most importantly I know that you will never be truly satisfied if you cheat yourself out of becoming the best person you can be. |
My Mission
While talking to other counselors and women leaders in my work as an educator, mentor and leader, I noticed a commonality among them. Although talented and successful in their chosen fields, they were all living under a cloud of fear, insecurity and uncertainty about their next steps.
Their stories weighed heavily on my heart. I understand them because I carried the same weight. I began to wonder if other counselors and helping professionals were feeling the same way. I challenged myself to name ten acquaintances who were truly happy and living their best lives. I was stunned when I only found two.
They felt as though life just happened to them because they were not where they thought they would be. Their dreams had been buried by the trappings of success-thinking... money, titles, relationships, etc. Thinking that these things would give them the value they longed for. They were spiritually and emotionally bankrupt (barrenness).
After this realization, I answered the call that has been placed within me to equip and empower counselors and other helping professionals, get down to the core of who they really are. My mission and service to the field is to guide you through the process of activating your vision so you are able to accomplish the great things you were meant to do. I am excited to partner with you in your journey... Let's re-imprint your life!
