Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Mississippi

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."

Love yourself enough to give yourself the opportunity to succeed!

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.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Mississippi and the state of Michigan.

I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Mississippi (Hotty Toddy!) and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. Before moving to Jackson, Miss. for graduate school, I worked with Cru (a campus ministry) for three years on the Ole Miss campus.

While living in Oxford, I also worked as the Administrative Assistant at Grace Bible Church of Oxford for two years.

Through receiving counseling in my own life, my desire grew to sit with and serve those experiencing darkness, hardship, or hurt in their own life. I want to utilize my life experience and education to walk alongside my clients as they uncover and develop their own internal resources.

I believe overcoming life’s obstacles and achieving wellness is possible. That’s why I started my practice. I want to help others discover within themselves their potential for a full and beautiful life. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, sadness or depressed mood, struggling with the effects of traumatic life experiences, I am here for you; a safe place to explore, heal and find a way forward.

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!

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.

I have been a LPC for over 10 years and have worked with a very diverse group of clients. They range in age from 6 to 60. I specialize in adolescents and trauma. I have also worked with depression, anxiety, personal relationships, parenting problems, addictions, emotional abuse, and physical trauma.

If you’ve been carrying anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflict, or simply feeling like life has become harder to navigate, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of counseling experience and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. I work with adults facing anxiety, relationship and family challenges, self-esteem concerns, grief, women’s issues, and the unique challenges that can come with aging and geriatric care. I also offer Christian counseling for clients who want their faith to be part of their therapeutic experience. Whatever brings you to counseling, my goal is to understand what you need and help you move toward meaningful change.
