Previously, LaTasha Jackson-Rodriguez volunteered for RAPE CRISIS and CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) in Hinesville, Georgia for almost 5 years. She graduated with her master’s degree from
Brandman University in 2016, where she studied Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy. LaTasha interned at the Fort Lewis Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program in Washington State, where she conducted
individual and group therapy for Captains and Majors of the United Stated Army.
She has also worked for the Department of Social and Human Services as a CPS Investigator, responding to urgent calls that consisted of physical, sexual and mental abuse and neglect in the home. LaTasha Jackson-Rodriguez has also subcontracted with other agencies on contracts for the Department of Corrections (FOSA program). This position required visiting ex-offenders’ homes upon release from prison to provide them with individual therapy to assist with the transition back into the community after serving time for domestic violence, sexual assaults, murder and drug trafficking.
After working as a contracted marriage and family therapist associate, she saw where there was a need and gap for the
BIPOC community. Seeing that there was distrust towards receiving counseling and sharing with therapists that don’t look like them. she decided to start a Counseling Agency in 2017, The Sound Wellness and Counseling Center. LaTasha continued to work with both youth and
adults that had experienced sexual abuse, domestic violence, discrimination, and grief. This experience compelled her to start her first non-profit organization called Restore Assemble Produce (“R.A.P.”)
for not only troubled youth, but the entire family that has been affected by various traumas. To this day, with the focus on bringing solutions to unify and stop hate crimes. she has continued to serve and educate her community by assisting and collaborating with the Mayor of Kent, Commander of the Kent police department and our youth to address trauma that has affected our BIPOC Community.
