Lavonna Connell
grew up in Houston, Texas and identifies as black latinx with roots from the beautiful country of Panama. She holds a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Wright State University and is passionate about mental health disability. Her passion for mental health care, advocacy, and treatment has been fueled by her lifelong experiences with depression and other mental health struggles.
​
 Lavonna enjoys providing support and presentations on mental health topics for a variety of audiences including at conferences, schools, churches, and organizations. As a Doctor of Psychology, she brings a unique experience of being on both sides of the table as both a client and clinician. Her presentations are dedicated to addressing mental health stigma within society and the field.  It is her hope that her presentations will bring encouragement, empowerment, and a voice for those who suffer from mental health disabilities. More information about Lavonna can be found on her website at:
