I am August Irving, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider (BC-TMH), and the owner of Life Lessons Counseling, LLC. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. While I work with a diverse range of clients, I have a special interest in supporting women through midlife and perinatal challenges. My approach is collaborative and practical, focused on building resilience, clarity, and sustainable change. I offer therapy in person in Clinton, Mississippi, and virtually throughout Mississippi and Pennsylvania.
Hi, I'm Christopher. I believe we all have the capacity to live fulfilling lives marked by agency and self-efficacy. My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and narrative-based, so our work centers your story, not a diagnosis. If you're ready to feel heard and start writing the next chapter, I'd love to work with you.
I help adults in Mississippi who are feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, low self-esteem, or major life changes. If you’re used to taking care of everyone else and are finally wondering, “What about me?”, you’re in the right place. Therapy with me is a nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, feel heard, and start making sense of what you’re going through so life doesn’t feel so heavy.
I’m Charlotte Aeger Ross, PMHNP, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner providing integrative mental health care for children, adolescents, and adults. My clinical approach combines evidence-based medication management with holistic strategies to address underlying biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors contributing to conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma-related disorders. I focus on individualized, collaborative treatment plans designed to promote long-term stability and overall well-being.
Ramona Girley, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with advanced training and expertise in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of mental health conditions across the lifespan. She brings a strong clinical foundation in psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions within outpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) settings.
Her professional practice focuses on treating mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and co-occurring substance use concerns. She is experienced in conducting comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, risk assessments, and individualized treatment planning tailored to each client’s needs.
In addition to medication management, Ramona emphasizes a holistic and collaborative approach to care, integrating psychotherapy, psychoeducation, and multidisciplinary coordination to support long-term stabilization and recovery. Her clinical style is structured yet compassionate, with a strong commitment to patient-centered care, measurable outcomes, and improving overall quality of life for her clients.
My commitment to you is simple: I will listen carefully, communicate openly, and act with integrity in every interaction. I’ll take the time to understand your unique goals, challenges, and values, and I’ll tailor my approach to meet your needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. You can expect transparency from me at every step. I’ll explain not only what I recommend, but why I recommend it, so you always feel informed and empowered to make decisions.
I graduated with a BS degree in Psychology at Louisiana State University. I have a Master's Degree from Southern University in Mental Health Counseling. I have over 27 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults
I bring over 20 years of experience supporting adults through addiction, mood, and thought‐related challenges, with a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. I work to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, supported, and safe to explore your story. Together, we move at a steady, compassionate pace toward clarity, emotional grounding, and meaningful change.
I am a licensed professional counselor. I work with children, teens, and adults, helping them navigate challenges with depression, anxiety and various other disorders.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Ridgeland
Searching for therapists in Ridgeland starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, review their listed specialties and approach to care. Some therapists may focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or other methods that can help you understand whether their style fits your needs.
In a smaller city like Ridgeland, the number of local in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Looking at nearby areas like Madison and Flowood can expand your options, and virtual therapy can give you access to more Mississippi-licensed therapists from home. Before booking, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Ridgeland can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated cost before booking. You can browse therapists in Ridgeland, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
