Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Monroe, LA


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.

Healing flourishes when you feel seen, heard, and met with warmth and curiosity. My approach is trauma-informed and collaborative, with a focus on creating safety, fostering self‐compassion, and helping you move toward a more balanced, meaningful life. I work with individuals and couples, recognizing how stress, mood, and life circumstances shape emotional patterns, connection, and how your body responds to stress. I’m committed to offering a steady, thoughtful space where your values, boundaries, and goals guide our work at a pace that feels right for you.

Hi, I'm Yasmeen and I know starting therapy can feel like a big, overwhelming step. Maybe you've been putting it off, unsure if it'll actually help or worried about what it'll feel like to open up to someone new. I get it. And I want you to know: this is a space where you can show up exactly as you are, no performance required.

I'm a therapist with a Master's degree from Nicholls State University, and I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, anger, grief, stress, and relationship or family challenges. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone anymore.
