While many counselors and mental health professionals solely seek to help, she seeks to heal. For Dr. Lavita S. Modest, counselor, coach and speakers, spiritual healing, deliverance and wholeness aren’t optional. They are must-haves for every believer of Jesus Christ. As a beacon of hope for the hopeless, and a compass for the lost, Dr. Lavita is intentional about leaving people better than they were when she found them—mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally.

As a licensed counselor, Dr. Lavita holds a Bachelor of Biblical Studies, a Master of Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and a Doctorate of Christian Counseling. In addition to serving as an adjunct professor and University Program Supervisor, Dr. Lavita oversees master level students in their pursuit to become clinical counselors, as well as the fieldwork for new clinicians as they pursue full licensure. Passionate about seeing people healed through the counseling process, whether clinical or spiritual healing, she strategically developed a seven-step process, The Modest Model for Healing and Deliverance, a simplistic guide to help individuals begin the process of overcoming past and present trauma.

In her debut book, The Modest Model for Healing and Deliverance, Dr. Lavita not only ushers readers into spiritual healing and deliverance—she guides them on an intimate spiritual journey to wholeness and freedom. Complete with moments of self-reflection and “Points to Ponder,” this book explores the mind-body connection that promotes spiritual, emotional, and physical healing, and deliverance from generational curses and strongholds many have strived to break for decades. As a non-empirical, theoretical-based study, evidence of healing and deliverance are found using biblical examples and real-life testimonies from everyday people—making this literary masterpiece real, raw and relatable.

As a candid counselor, transformational public speaker and mentor to many, numerous doors of opportunity have opened for Dr. Lavita. In addition to serving as a Public Service Chaplain through the Public Service Institute, she is also a Certified Life Coach through the International Association of Professional Career College. Installed as Senior Pastor of Creation Christian Community, Dr. Lavita is wholeheartedly committed to spearheading a counseling and community ministry, reaching people outside of the four walls of church. As the President and Founder of Creation Christian Counseling, as well as Working Wellness Solutions, LLC, she provides spiritual, biblical, and clinical mental health counseling for men and women across the Metro-Detroit area.
