ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Hattiesburg, MS

I'm excited about the opportunity to work with individuals who are on their journey to becoming the best versions of themselves. I understand that this path can present a variety of challenges, such as finding life purpose, navigating men's issues, dealing with trauma (PTSD), experiencing depression, facing career dilemmas, exploring identity concerns, and addressing self-esteem and relationship issues. I'm here to provide support, compassion, and guidance through your concerns.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience supporting individuals through some of life’s most challenging and transformative moments. Throughout my career, I have worked with people experiencing mental health crises, depression, anxiety, chronic medical conditions, disabilities, and end-of-life concerns. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the unique circumstances, strengths, and challenges each person brings into the therapeutic space.

My approach to therapy is inquisitive, warm, affirming, and empowering. I believe that meaningful therapy begins with genuine curiosity about your experiences and not judgment or assumptions. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can be honest about what you're experiencing, explore patterns that may be holding you back, and develop a clearer understanding of yourself and your needs.

Whether you are navigating anxiety or depression, adjusting to changes in your health or circumstances, coping with a difficult transition, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of your next step, you don't have to navigate it alone. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you recognize the strengths you already possess, and work alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being.

Therapy is not about telling you how to live your life. It is about creating a space where you can explore, heal, grow, and make choices that are meaningful to you. I would be honored to be part of that process.

Taking the first step toward better health is an act of courage, and I am here to support you every step of the way. As a board-certified physiatrist with 29 years of experience, I am committed to providing compassionate, personalized care that honors your unique story, background, and lived experiences. I take the time to truly understand who you are — your strengths, your challenges, and your goals — so that together we can build a care plan that is both meaningful and effective for your life.

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 21 years of experience supporting mental health and wellness across the lifespan. My professional journey has been rooted in behavioral health settings, where I’ve had the privilege of working closely with both children and adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, sleep-related concerns, and substance-use disorders.

I earned my Master of Science in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from the University of Mississippi Medical Center and also hold a Master’s degree in Nursing Education from William Carey University. My background allows me to combine clinical expertise with education and advocacy, ensuring that clients feel informed, empowered, and supported throughout their care.

Hi, I'm Wendie. I'm a Mississippi LPC-S with 30+ years of professional experience in mental health services. I practice from a faith-based, Christian perspective. Faith and spirituality are unique to each individual; it is YOUR choice whether to receive secular or faith-based counseling. I also use play and animal-assisted therapies! I have helped clients with family conflicts, trauma, abuse, motivation, self-esteem, & depression. I also have extensive experience working with couples, children, teens, young adults, and the elderly. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. With your input, I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. God bless.

Welcome to my profile! First, I want to acknowledge that it can be daunting to start the process of therapy and even more to choose a therapist - so thanks for checking out my profile, and good luck on your journey, wherever it takes you!

A little about me: I bring a LOT of different perspectives to my work:

1) Educationally, I combine a Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience (Boston College, 2010) and a Respecialization degree (essentially like another Ph.D.) in Clinical Psychology (Suffolk University, 2015)

2) Clinically, I have worked with all sorts of people, ranging from young to older adults, with simple adjustment issues all the way to complex neurological/psychiatric problems. That said, I specialize in the following issues: depression and anxiety disorders; OCD; bipolar disorder; women's issues, including domestic violence, perinatal, postpartum, and parenting problems; cultural stress and issues related to immigration; rehabilitation psychology (adjustment to severe, chronic medical conditions).

3) Culturally, I am a French native, with over 20 years living in the U.S., 10 of which were in New England and the past 10 years in MS, so I bring greater than usual open-mindedness to all sorts of perspectives!

You don’t have to pretend you’re okay here.

You shouldn’t have to filter yourself in therapy. Maybe anxiety has become hard to manage. Maybe depression has left you feeling disconnected, unmotivated, or unlike yourself. Maybe trauma or painful life experiences are still affecting your relationships, emotions, or daily choices. Or maybe you’ve been carrying things for so long that you’re not even sure where to start.

I’m Kristopher, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use concerns, stress, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive, judgment-free space where you can be honest about what you’re feeling, better understand what has been weighing on you, and begin moving toward a healthier, more grounded version of yourself.
