Renewed Life Solutions
Licensed Professional Counselor, Tonya Ramsey, MS., LPC, NCC, CCTP
As a therapist specializing in depression, I understand the profound impact this condition can have on daily life. My approach integrates evidence-based techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices, to help clients navigate their feelings and develop healthier coping strategies. I create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors without judgment. Together, we work towards understanding the underlying causes of depression, setting realistic goals, and fostering resilience. Whether you’re experiencing persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, or overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, I am here to guide you on your journey toward healing and renewal. Let’s find the light together.

Dr. Jessica Shine
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPC
I want you to know that you are not alone and there are people who can help. Many of my clients find relief in realizing that their struggle does not own them and that there are many options available to once again have hope for their lives.
I understand the social stigmas that come with the label of being depressed and thus aim to help clients sort out their environmental, biological, and circumstantial factors while offering support and care through a very dark time in their lives.
If you are hoping to finally lighten this load and feel like yourself again, contact me today for a free consultation.

Baton Rouge is home to Louisiana State University and serves as Louisiana's state capital, creating a therapy community shaped by student mental health demand, the pressures of government and healthcare careers, and the particular stressors of a Deep South city navigating racial and economic inequity. The city's African American community — which comprises roughly half the population — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma, community resilience, and the psychological weight of systemic inequity. Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center and Ochsner Health provide institutional mental health resources, while LSU's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local community. Baton Rouge's location in a high-flood-risk region means climate-related anxiety and disaster recovery are recurring themes that local therapists address alongside individual concerns.
