Latrice Watson

Hello, my name is Latrice Watson. I am a 47 year old African American woman. I was raised in Fresno, California but currently live in Stockton, California. I am a Certified Addictions Treatment Counselor and currently work at Service First of Northern California. I have 7 children, 5 girls and 2 boys, and 3 grandsons. I working towards obtaining my Bachelor's degree in Psychology to further my career in Substance Abuse. My ultimate goal and dream that I have is to one day open up a Sober Living Facility. I am in recovery for 7 years now, and have learned the hard way that drugs are not good for anyone. I learned that a person has to be motivated, determined, discipline and have a vision in life, in order to reach their dreams. Knowing that I have always had a loving and caring personality, I feel that I can be of help to the many individuals that are sufferning from addiction. I am active in my community and always to try to donate my time to the local homeless shelters in my community. I love to watch action movies, have family barbeques with my children, and take long rides with my husband. I have learned a tremendous amount of information from studying psychology, which has enabled me to help my clients. Undetstanding human behavior and finding new ways to help an individual is what I feel is my ultimate destiny.
