A note from Melissa
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who provides compassionate, client-centered care to preteens and adults throughout Louisiana. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-informed techniques, I help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I have experience supporting individuals with anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, develop practical coping skills, build resilience, and work toward meaningful change.
