With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I am deeply committed to helping individuals and families heal, grow, and reconnect with their strengths. My work is grounded in trauma-centered therapy, recognizing that many emotional and behavioral challenges are rooted in experiences that deserve compassion, understanding, and skilled support.
Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, and families, helping them navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and the impact of trauma. I believe therapy should be a safe space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to move forward with confidence.
I am an LPC in the state of LA. I have a history of working with children, teens, and adults. My strengths are working with those who could use help with finding healthy coping skills, boundary setting, and face challenges with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, and Anger Management. I facilitate therapy using a Strengths-Based and CBT approach.
Healing begins when you feel safe enough to be seen, heard, and understood. I'm Lasheka, and I offer supportive, judgement-free space for individuals and families working through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and the boundaries that protect your peace. My approach is compassionate, practical, and centered on helping you understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and move forward with greater confidence and purpose. You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I'm here to walk along side you.
Hello! I’m Ryan Forbes, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience in the mental health field. I hold a Bachelor's degree from Texas Tech University (2003) and a Master's degree from Asbury Theological Seminary (2008). My practice primarily focuses on working with adults and older teens, helping them navigate life’s challenges and find balance.
If you are struggling to be the best person you can be for your spouse or your family I would love to help.
Beyond my professional qualifications, I bring real-world experience to my work. I’ve been happily married for 26 years and am the proud parent of four wonderful children, which has enriched my understanding of the complexities of family dynamics and personal growth.
Hello, thanks for stopping by. I’m here to offer a calm, compassionate space where you can finally start to feel understood. I know life can be complicated, especially when you're navigating Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, or Autism. My goal is to help you (or your child, age 5+) manage these challenges and discover a path toward feeling more at ease and confident.
What Makes Working With Me Different? My journey to becoming a counselor didn't start in an office; it started the day I was born. Growing up as one of eleven children, I was fortunate to have many siblings with special needs—including siblings with Autism, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and Learning Disabilities. This taught me something invaluable: true, deep patience, kindness, and compassion.
For over 20 years, I honed this understanding as both a High School Counselor and Special Education teacher.
Since I offer teletherapy only, you can start your journey to feeling better from the comfort of your own home. Our first session together is simple: it’s all about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you here, your goals, and what a "good day" looks like for you. It’s a low-pressure conversation where you can feel safe and heard.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience in Mental Health nursing. I believe mental health care should feel personal, supportive, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself. I bring extensive nursing and mental health experience to my practice and work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, sleep difficulties, and other mental health challenges. I believe you are more than a diagnosis, and I take the time to understand the whole person behind the symptoms. Together, we’ll develop a treatment plan that feels realistic, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs.
