Grief
Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and it doesn't always look the way people expect it to. The loss of a person, a relationship, a version of yourself, a future you expected to have — all of it deserves space. I work with clients navigating grief that is fresh and grief that has been carried for years without a proper place to put it down. Therapy doesn't rush grief or resolve it. It gives you room to be honest about what you've lost and what you're learning to carry differently.

Grief
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Loss and grief are deeply personal emotional experiences that live in both the heart and the body. My work integrates psychoanalytic reflection and somatic awareness to support the process of mourning and integration. This work helps patients find meaning, continuity, and renewed connection to life after loss.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I guide clients through loss and grief with a trauma-informed, compassionate approach that honors the unseen currents of human experience. Drawing on my training and experience as a thanatologist, and the wisdom of ancient earth-based grieving traditions often lost in Western culture, I integrate ritual, ceremony, and embodied practices to help grief move through the body and psyche. Together, we explore the layers of emotion, memory, and meaning, as well as science based information on what happens to the body as we grieve in order to create a better understanding of our grieving process, as well creating a sacred space for healing, transformation, and a renewed connection to life beyond loss.

Grief
Kari Carter
Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
Grief after betrayal is complex and often misunderstood. It may include the loss of trust, the loss of identity, the loss of the relationship as you believed it to be - and sometimes the loss of the marriage itself. This type of grief can feel disorienting and layered with anger, confusion, and shock. I provide trauma-informed support to help clients process both acute and ambiguous loss, honoring the depth of what has been taken while gently guiding stabilization and healing.

Grief
Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Grief does not follow a timeline and there is no right way to feel. Sometimes what gets stuck is not the grief itself but a belief that formed inside the loss, things like guilt, the sense that we should have done more or the fear that to move forward is to leave the person behind. RTT works gently with these specific subconscious meanings, not to bypass the grieving but to free what has become frozen alongside it. I do not replace bereavement support or counselling. I work with people who have already been grieving for a while and feel that something underneath is keeping them stuck.

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.
