The Women's Symposium | Dr. Lawrencia Jenkins: Dr. Lawrencia Jenkins, a proud Monroe, Louisiana native, is a Wossman High School alumna and a three-time graduate of the University of Louisiana Monroe. From an early age, Lawrencia’s parents stressed the value in education. Her parents nurtured her growth, instilling self-confidence and a sense of fulfillment. Along with her older brother Lawrence, Lawrencia understood she could achieve anything that she set her mind to. Guided by Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," and inspired by her mother, Rose Jenkins, Lawrencia embraced the belief that greatness was within her reach.

At 16, Lawrencia knew she wanted a career that involved helping others. Whether it be mental or physical health, she desired to serve the community. Shortly before graduation, Lawrencia’s mother took her to meet the faculty and staff in the Marriage and Family Therapy Program (MFT) at ULM. She secured a job as a student worker and majored in Psychology, intent on understanding the human mind. She went on to earn her master’s and doctorate from ULM in Marriage and Family Therapy.

Lawrencia currently works as a clinician at Finding Solace, specializing in trauma-informed care, perinatal mental health, military families, and relationship conflict. She utilizes narrative therapy and solution-based approaches in her practice. Narrative therapy empowers individuals to re-author their personal stories by separating them from problem-saturated narratives and highlighting strengths, values, and alternative perspectives.

Church protocols and ceremonies can be confusing for us adults, so it’s no wonder a little girl might confuse a priest’s raised hand during a blessing for a high-five! This pint-sized princess certainly did. And, as funny as that is, it’s the reaction of the priest that is really sweet!
