MELISSA LACOUR, LPC | ONLINE AND IN-PERSON COUNSELING IN LOUISIANA
Here to help you heal, grow, and thrive.
Right now you may feel…
Exhausted. Confused. Overwhelmed. Frustrated. Stuck.
Life feels heavy. Maybe too heavy. Your emotions and concerns are causing a weight that you just can’t seem to lighten. Not only do you carry the weight of your own challenges, but the emotional burdens of your family and those who depend on you. This is a place for you to put those burdens down and rediscover that sense of connection or joy that you feel is missing in life.
Maybe you’ve been to therapy before and are looking to go deeper than you have in the past, or maybe this is the very first time you’ve reached out to someone. Either way, I can provide you the space, support, and expertise you need to get to know yourself better — and, in turn, show up as your full self in every area of your life.
I’m Melissa LaCour, a licensed therapist in Louisiana who helps teens and adults make sense of the past, ground themselves in the present, and discover hope for the future.
As your therapist, I’ll be your champion & your advocate.
I’ll also challenge you to be your best self. I will never shy away from sharing my own experiences or mistakes if you can benefit from them, and, above all, I am willing to get into — and sit in — the “uncomfortable” right alongside you.
Counseling is about learning to be a human in relationship with others. With me, you’ll find a safe, non-judgmental space to practice that.
My goal is that you leave every session with me feeling that your time was productive and well spent. This will look different every week — therapy doesn’t have to be a rigid step-by-step process — from simply processing the events of the past week to diving more deeply in past experiences or using exercises to cultivate a new skill to use in your day-to-day life.
