I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience helping individuals who struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship difficulties, or patterns of thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve them. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable individuals who want to understand why they think, feel, and respond the way they do but aren't sure how to change these old, automatic patterns. I use evidence-based approaches, including CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology, and principles of Neuropsychotherapy, to help my clients develop deeper self-understanding and learn practical skills for change. My goal is to help you understand how your experiences have shaped your beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors. Together, we’ll develop practical steps to help you respond to your thoughts and emotions with greater clarity and feel more confident handling life’s challenges.

I believe in the transformative experience of true connection; connection to ourselves, connection to others, and connection to the parts of ourself that feel lost, overwhelmed, or alone. I work with women navigating the social and emotional impacts of addiction and childhood trauma. Addiction can feel exhausting, confusing, and at times hopeless. You deserve someone to walk beside you, hear your truth, and understand how life got to where it is without demanding your next steps.

You’ve worked hard, built a life, found success, and checked many of the boxes you thought you were supposed to check, yet you still find yourself wondering, “Is this it?” Maybe you’ve spent years showing up for everyone else, putting their needs first, and being the person others could count on. Now, you’re ready to focus on yourself, redefine who you are, and discover what you want this next chapter of your life to look like. Together, we’ll build on what’s already working to help you find greater purpose, direction, and a life that feels meaningful to you. If you’re a young adult, you may have followed the path expected of you and still feel unsure about where you’re headed or where you fit. Our work can help you build confidence, find your own path, and create a life that feels right for you, not just one that looks right on paper. I am Ebony Yelder, LPC. My career has taken me into many different settings, including behavioral health hospitals, outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, in-home therapy, and work with the Department of Defense supporting service members and their families. Each experience has shaped the way I practice today and reinforced something I continue to believe people often have more strength, resilience, and resources within them than they realize.

After more than 20 years of working with children and families in the school system, I now offer my services virtually in order to reach and support more people. Over the years, my work has expanded to include concerns such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, stress management, life transitions, self-esteem, and other challenges that impact daily life. Navigating family and personal relationships is also a central focus of my therapy. My approach is creative, engaging, and intentionally different from traditional talk therapy. I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, empowered, and gently challenged to grow. Incorporating music, humor, and interactive activities can help reduce stress and make it easier to open up about difficult emotions. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to foster meaningful change within a welcoming, supportive environment.

Hi there! My name is Chinh. If you’ve reached my page, chances are that your heart has been broken, you probably just had the umpteenth argument with your significant other, or maybe you’re stuck in a frustrating cycle of self-doubt, low self-esteem, and overwhelming thoughts that never seem to let up. Maybe it’s all of the above! Whatever brought you here — I’m glad you came. Let’s work through it together. I grew up in a culture where mental illness wasn’t something you talked about. Emotional struggles were ignored, hidden, or minimized. I was taught that sharing feelings was a weakness — that being strong meant staying silent. That experience shaped me. Today, I’m passionate about helping people unlearn those harmful beliefs and start living with more freedom, clarity, and emotional honesty. I want to help end the stigma associated with mental illness. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, Louisiana, and New Mexico, and I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling. I’ve spent years working with adults, couples, and families — helping people reconnect with themselves and each other. My approach is strength-based and holistic: I believe healing doesn’t mean “fixing” you — it means understanding you, supporting you, and helping you build the life you want. Therapy can be hard work, but you don't have to do it alone. I offer a space where you can show up exactly as you are — without judgment. Let's rewrite your story together.

I am Dr. Lawana J. Mabry, LCSW-BACS. I earned my undergraduate degree in Sociology with a concentration in Criminology in 2003 from Louisiana State University. I returned to LSU to obtain my Master of Social Work. I later obtained my Doctor of Behavioral Health degree from Arizona State University. I am a Licensed Mental Health Provider with an array of hands-on clinical experience, which includes, but is not limited to the Department of Children and Family Services (foster care and family services), hospital social work, inpatient psychiatric social work, and school social work. I was also the Clinical Director of an outpatient behavioral health agency with locations throughout the state of Louisiana for five years. For the most recent six years, I have been offering individual psychotherapy, family, and couple counseling to clients in Louisiana and Mississippi via my private practice and contract work. I work with children and families starting at age 5. They value the benefit of my flexible work hours because it decreases the amount of time they have to miss from work and/or school to attend their appointments and remain consistent in treatment. The virtual sessions are also beneficial because clients do not have to fight traffic, have access to transportation, find a sitter for the children, etc. in order to attend therapy. Instead, they have the luxury of attending via their device and at their convenience.

I am a holistic therapist and spiritual healer who uses clinical counseling techniques. I am a Taurus Sun, Taurus Moon and Sagittarius Rising, so I bring the fire but in a controlled purposeful way. I am feisty and spicy, just like my sessions! I also, help people attain peace of mind. I focus on healing the inner child, along with providing the most appropriate coping skills that work best for you. I am a strong advocate for energy work and imagery to heal the trauma. This is not a structured therapy style. This is a Solution-Focused space. Over the course of our treatment, homework is assigned that you won't do four times in a row, then Baby Yoda, crystals, and our ancestors get involved, then you'll do the homework, healing will take place, and you'll say “I feel amazing,” and I'll say “Right?”

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
