Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Codependency shows up quietly — in the habit of prioritizing everyone else's needs before your own, in the anxiety that comes when you try to set a boundary, in the way your emotional state rises and falls with someone else's. Many of my clients don't initially name it as codependency. They just know that they feel responsible for people in a way that exhausts them, and that saying no feels dangerous. Therapy gives you space to examine where those patterns came from, what they're costing you, and how to build relationships that feel genuinely mutual rather than one-sided.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Codependency often reflects early relational patterns in which emotional needs, boundaries, and self-worth became entangled with the needs of others. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and somatic awareness to understand how these patterns continue to shape adult relationships. Together, we work toward greater emotional autonomy, clarity, and the capacity to remain connected to oneself while being close to others.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I help clients struggling with codependency understand how early attachment experiences and relational patterns shape overgiving, people-pleasing, and boundary challenges. Using a trauma-informed, compassionate approach, we work to build self-awareness, emotional autonomy, and healthier, more balanced relationships. Therapy provides a safe space to break old patterns and reconnect with your authentic self.

Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
If you are a heart-centred, empathic woman, you might have challenges setting healthy boundaries with people and could be stuck in fawning, pleasing, and appeasing patterns to feel safe and connected. I can support you in defining your values and setting either flexible or non-negotiable boundaries, depending on the circumstances. I can help you move through self-doubt and into your authentic self-expression. The therapy that I offer is in-depth and often involves going back to the inner child, where your inner defense patterns and relationship patterns began, to initiate deep emotional healing and safety.

Renewed Life Solutions
Licensed Professional Counselor, Tonya Ramsey, MS., LPC, NCC, CCTP
In my therapeutic practice, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complex dynamics of codependency. Often rooted in a deep need for approval and fear of abandonment, codependency can manifest in relationships where one person prioritizes the needs and desires of others over their own. This pattern can lead to a cycle of unhealthy emotional entanglement, resulting in feelings of resentment, low self-esteem, and burnout.
My approach focuses on fostering self-awareness and self-empowerment, guiding clients to recognize and break free from these limiting patterns. Through evidence-based techniques, we work together to establish healthy boundaries, improve communication skills, and develop a strong sense of self. By cultivating a deeper understanding of your emotions and needs, we can create a path toward healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
If you’re ready to reclaim your life and build connections that nurture rather than drain you, I’m here to support you on this journey.

Lafayette is the hub of Acadiana and the cultural heart of Cajun and Creole Louisiana, a city where a deeply embedded community culture built around food, music, and social connection has historically provided many of the informal mental health benefits that formal therapy aims to achieve—but where this same cultural context can also make it harder to seek structured support when it is genuinely needed. The oil and gas industry has been the economic engine of the Acadiana region, and the boom-and-bust cycles of energy markets create recurring waves of economic anxiety, unemployment, and financial stress that drive spikes in mental health need. The University of Louisiana at Lafayette has a psychology department and student counseling services, and a growing private therapy sector serves the professional class and university community. Common therapy concerns include economic and career stress tied to the energy sector, hurricane anxiety, anxiety and depression, family and relationship issues, and the challenge of seeking formal mental health support in a community that prides itself on getting through hard times together.
