About Her Voice In The Darkness

Rita Langdale (formerly Harrison)

Founder and CEO

Rita is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Registered Dietitian (RD). Her Voice in the Darkness has a two-fold reason for being formed. First, out of a personal experience with psychological (emotional and verbal) abuse behind closed doors. Being in the church environment added to the forced silence disguised as submission. After seven years in an abusive marriage, Rita was able to break the silence. It became her passion to be the voice for those not yet able to speak of the abuse they are enduring. The second reason is that while in private practice she witnessed firsthand how unspoken social norms force women to isolate and struggle mentally and emotionally in silence. She works with female clients who often come out of childhood with a feeling of not being good enough. This feeling results in women not being authentically themselves. It also results in women getting into relationships that are abusive because they lack self-esteem and the confidence to live up to their true calling.

Her Voice in the Darkness is dedicated to all the women whose voices have been silenced under unspoken social norms and within the church culture disguised as submission. May you reclaim your voice so that generations to come do not have to endure oppression.
