Hi, I'm India. For the past 3 years, I've been supporting adults and teenagers who have been holding it together a while. I got into it because the quiet kind of struggling often gets overlooked. Maybe you're here because you woke at 3 a.m. with your chest tight and a list running. Maybe the group chat has sat there for days and you can't quite say why. Perhaps you're looking for counseling because getting up takes everything, or because you're good at your job and still hear a voice calling you a fraud. You don't have to have it named yet.
I'm not the therapist who just nods at you. I'll laugh with you. I'll get quiet when it's heavy. You set the pace and I follow it. Some weeks we walk it through step by step. Some weeks we write your story down until it reads differently on the page. I'll tell you the truth as I see it.
First session is mostly me asking and you answering, as deep as you want to go that day. Nothing assigned, nothing to prepare. Pick a time on my calendar here and we'll see if I'm the right fit for you.
I have worked in the field of mental health for almost 30 years. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of MS and I hold multiple certifications within my area of practice, including tobacco education and cessation treatment, youth mental health first aid training, cognitive-behavioral therapy, advanced cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy specifically designed for foster care youth, and certified integrated mental health professional. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Master of Guidance and Counseling from Jackson State University. I have worked in the areas of community mental health, vocational rehab, hospital settings, foster care counseling, and the private counseling sector. I have also participated in several research studies pertaining to tobacco cessation and education. I am a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. as well as a veteran of the United States Army.
My motto is rooted in Philippians 3:13-14, "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended; but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those which are before, I press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

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!

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.
