I'm Dr. Dontisha Davis, licensed therapist based in Louisiana. I hold a Doctor of Education and draw on CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused approaches to help women move from stuck to grounded. My work is direct, solution-oriented, and deeply culturally affirming — because healing looks different depending on who you are and where you've been. You might be feeling exhausted from holding everything together, anxious about the future, or stuck in patterns that no longer fit who you are. I work primarily with women and couples navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and trauma that can be hard to put into words. Many of my clients are new to therapy or haven’t always felt culturally safe or understood in past spaces. With me, you don’t have to shrink yourself or explain your whole identity just to be believed. Together, we’ll work toward you feeling more grounded, more confident, and more like yourself again.

I am a change agent and because I believe change promotes growth even when it's uncomfortable and looks scary. I also understand it is "grace" that supplies us the "opportunity" to change using our own wisdom, compassion, resiliency, and disciplines. Change is a daily human experience and we decide how we will embrace it.
"Self-Forgiveness" and "Self-Acceptance" is necessity to love genuinely. I work with clients who want to explore past traumas, people, places, and situations they believe defied them. I help them navigate life in a realistic meaningful way.

Hi, I’m Victoria Young, LPC-S a licensed therapist who helps women navigate the moments that overwhelm us most. Maybe you’re grieving a pregnancy loss no one else fully understands, carrying sadness with no neat timeline. Maybe motherhood looks nothing like you imagined ; you love your baby fiercely, but you’re also touched-out, sleep-deprived, and wondering where you went in all of it. Maybe you’re managing a new diagnosis while trying to hold everything else together, or figuring out what it looks like to build a full, connected life while living with HIV. Maybe you look completely fine on the outside , successful, capable, put-together while inside you’re running on anxiety, exhaustion, or a sadness you can’t quite name out loud. Maybe you’re simply trying to figure out who you are amid career pressure, relationship strain, & everyone needing a piece of you. I get it, genuinely. I’ve lived pieces of this myself the fertility struggles, the identity shifts of motherhood, the pressure to hold it all together while looking like I had it handled. That’s a big part of why this work matters so deeply to me, and why I show up fully for the women I work with. I also provide dedicated, compassionate support to women newly diagnosed with or living with HIV helping you process the emotional weight of diagnosis, navigate stigma, and move forward without shame. In our sessions, you’ll find a space with zero judgment just real, tailored support using CBT, mindfulness, and practical tools that fit your life, not a generic script. I specialize in reproductive loss, postpartum depression, sexual trauma, and high-functioning anxiety and depression, but at the core, my work is helping women feel less alone, less depleted, & more like themselves again.
You don’t have to keep functioning on empty. Let’s talk.

Before this career, I spent years in restaurants and behind the bar, where you learn fast how to read the room, listen between the lines, and help people feel able to advocate for themselves. That real world experience shaped how I show up in therapy: grounded, attentive, and genuinely interested in your story.

I didn't always know I wanted to be a therapist. Growing up in a household where mental health issues were present allowed me to see firsthand it's effect on individuals. After undergraduate school, I landed my first job in a psychiatric hospital. That's when things clicked for me, and I knew that I wanted to help people become their best selves. I had a natural curiosity to understand the world, how people think, and what drives human behavior. I also believe in the power of connectedness. All these things came together and pushed me to pursue my graduate degree in counseling. My experiences early on taught me that no one is perfect, we all struggle, and we all deserve grace.

My approach is steady, compassionate, and practical—I focus on helping people understand themselves deeply while developing coping skills that genuinely support everyday functioning.
I specialize in working with adults healing from childhood trauma, individuals striving to break intergenerational cycles, and people who feel marginalized or unseen because of identity, culture, sexuality, or appearance. At the heart of my work is creating a therapeutic space where clients feel understood, empowered, and capable of meaningful, lasting change.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and there are seasons when challenges feel too heavy to manage on your own. My role is to listen closely, provide support, and help lighten that load.

I believe deeply in the strength of the human spirit and the unique gifts each person carries.

Life Transitions
You don't have to do it alone. Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes you just need a safe, supportive place to talk. Through convenient online counseling, I offer compassionate, confidential support from whenever you feel most comfortable. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. I have watched peoples' lives change in a positive manner, and in many cases their lives are restored or rebuilt. Life has many twists and turns and it's easy to lose our way or feel overwhelmed with life stressors. I see us working together as a team to sort through things, identify issues, and establish priorities so we can develop a meaningful plan to get you where you would like to be. During our first meeting I will be getting some background information from you, and I want to hear what you are dealing with and how it is currently affecting your life. Your well-being matters.

Hi there! I want to end the stigma associated with seeking help, especially with black and brown people. I have spent years working with adults, couples, and families- helping people reconnect with themselves and each other using a holistic strength based approach. Healing is about learning more about yourself, your needs, and what support you need with no judgement so that you can build the relationships and life that you want as an individual or as a couple. I hold a Ph.D. in Counselor Education, as well as I hold licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of Louisiana.

I believe in leading with empathy and taking a realistic, compassionate, and human approach to counseling. Life can be complicated, and many of the battles we face are not visible to others. I believe that people deserve a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can be honest about their experiences, struggles, and emotions without fear of shame or criticism.
My approach recognizes that change does not happen overnight and that progress can look different for everyone. I strive to meet clients where they are while helping them develop greater self-awareness, healthier coping strategies, and practical tools for navigating life’s challenges. I believe we are all deserving of grace, humility, and understanding as we work through difficult seasons and learn to move forward.
Through telehealth counseling, I aim to create a genuine therapeutic connection where clients feel heard, respected, and supported while working toward meaningful and sustainable change.

Hello, my name is April. As a therapist, I enjoy the opportunity of walking with others on their journey and through the uniqueness of their experiences. I look forward to seeing clients confront patterns, challenge negative thoughts, regulate emotions, learn new coping skills, and build healthy internal and external relationships. Therapy is more than a place where you talk about problems. It is a place to confront, tear down, transform, overcome, grow, transform, heal, and see life from a different perspective.

Do you wake up worried about the day ahead before you even get out of bed? At work, are you scared of making mistakes, feeling like everyone’s waiting for you to mess up? When friends invite you out, do you say “yes” but feel nervous inside? At home, instead of relaxing, do you replay awkward moments, wondering what others think of you? If these anxious thoughts make you feel not good enough and exhaust you, you’re not alone. These feelings can undermine your confidence and affect your professional and personal relationships. I’m here to help you find relief and reclaim your sense of calm and control.

I’m Crystal Scott, a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth therapist who believes therapy should feel supportive, honest, practical, and deeply human. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families who may be navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, life transitions, low self-esteem, burnout, emotional overwhelm, or the feeling of being stuck in patterns they no longer want to repeat.
My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and tailored to the unique needs of each client. I combine evidence-based techniques with genuine conversation, reflection, encouragement, humor when appropriate, and practical tools that can be used in everyday life. I strive to create a space where you can feel seen, heard, respected, and safe enough to be honest about what is really going on. At the same time, I will gently challenge you to recognize patterns, strengthen boundaries, build confidence, improve communication, and make choices that better reflect the life you want to create.
I understand that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you are used to carrying everything on your own, being the strong one, or putting everyone else’s needs before your own. You do not have to arrive with the perfect words or a clear plan. We can slow things down, make sense of what you are experiencing, and identify realistic steps forward together.
My ideal client is someone who is ready for support, insight, and meaningful change, even if they are unsure where to begin. Whether you are healing from a painful experience, adjusting to a major change, rebuilding trust, managing difficult emotions, or learning to reconnect with yourself, I will meet you with empathy, patience, authenticity, and respect. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and confident in your ability to move forward.

My goal as a therapist is to help men feel more seen, understood, and more connected to community. Together we will work on challenging how we view our role as men and how this view has affected our overall well-being. I want to explore with you, how you process the daily challenges of being a husband, a father, son or just a man. I know it's not easy, but you always make it work no matter how difficult. I aim to give you a space where you can discuss these challenges without feeling as if your complaining or being a burden.
I can help you manage your stress by discussing tools that allow us to be honest with ourselves and how we feel. Yes! I'm talking about emotions. No matter how long we ignore them they still exist, bottled up and all. I want to help you share those emotions and thoughts out loud, guilt free!
If you find yourself feeling lonely, depressed, anxious, misunderstood, or just stressed out. Then your the person I want to connect with and help you get back into the driver's seat of your life.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
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.
