ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Lake Charles, LA

Hi, I'm Alyssa (Jade)! I grew up in a rural Louisiana town and care deeply about making mental health care easier to access. I work with adults across Louisiana via telehealth, experiencing a range of issues and those that may be feeling worn down by daily life or need some extra support. I help people navigating anxiety, ADHD, women’s issues, trauma, alcohol or substance use, depression, family issues, and stress.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I hold a license with the Louisiana LPC Board of Examiners in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and work with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with men, women, and children of various ages experiencing difficulties that affect mood, thinking, and behavior.

Hi, I'm Candance a licensed clinical social worker and I believe that everyone has a story, and everyone has a journey. Each story is unique and each journey is individualized. Helping others build on their strengths, overcome and reach their full potential is not just my career but a calling and a gift. Creating a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space is essential to the healing process. I reserve that space for you. When I am not helping others, I enjoy watching sports, traveling, and spending time with family.

Create and live the meaning of your life, whether by improving relationships, thriving within your career, enduring struggle, or saying goodbye. We can help you overcome limiting beliefs or patterns. We can help you embrace new perspectives and solve the problems that need solving. We can help you transcend any setbacks you have experienced, and determine how you can best serve others. Therapy does not have to be rigid; humor is encouraged. We can have fun while applying the best techniques psychology has produced.

Many of the people I work with carry experiences they've never felt fully safe putting into words — survivors of trauma and domestic violence, and clients caught in emotional or relationship patterns that feel impossible to shake. Some come in saying they "should be over this by now." Others describe feeling braced all the time, or unsure why the same painful patterns keep showing up. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to explain it perfectly to be understood.

After more than 20 years of working with children and families in the school system, I now provide virtual therapy to reach and support more people navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, stress management challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Many of my clients struggle with emotional regulation, feeling overwhelmed, attention and focus concerns, family conflict, academic stress, or feeling stuck in patterns that impact daily life. Family dynamics and personal relationships are often at the heart of these challenges. My approach is creative, engaging, and intentionally different from traditional talk therapy. I incorporate music, humor, interactive exercises, and experiential techniques to help reduce anxiety, build coping skills, and make it easier to process difficult emotions in a supportive, welcoming space.
