Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Low self-esteem rarely announces itself directly. More often it shows up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, the inability to receive a compliment, the constant feeling that you're one mistake away from being found out, or the habit of making yourself smaller so others are more comfortable. I work with clients who have spent years measuring their worth by what they produce, who they please, or how well they perform — and who are ready to build a more stable, internal sense of who they are. This work often intersects with adoption, relationships, and athletic identity, but its roots are always deeply personal.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Self-esteem is shaped through early emotional experience and internalized relationships. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and embodied awareness to support a more compassionate and coherent relationship with the self. This process helps patients move beyond shame and self-criticism toward greater self-acceptance.

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Low self-esteem rarely starts with logic. You can list your accomplishments and still not feel like enough. That is because self-worth is held in the subconscious, often shaped by experiences in childhood that we long ago stopped consciously remembering. RTT goes back to those root moments and updates the meaning we made of them. The belief "I am not enough" or "I do not matter" was not chosen consciously and it cannot be argued away consciously either. It can be updated at the level where it lives. Most clients begin to notice a real shift in how they feel about themselves within the first session.

In my practice, I often see individuals grappling with feelings of inadequacy and low self-worth. I specialize in helping my clients build and nurture their self-esteem, guiding them through the challenges they face in today’s fast-paced world.
In our sessions, I focus on exploring the roots of negative self-perception and work collaboratively to challenge harmful beliefs. My goal is to empower you to embrace your strengths, cultivate self-acceptance, and develop a healthier relationship with yourself. Whether you’re dealing with societal pressures, past traumas, or ongoing self-doubt, I provide a supportive environment where growth and resilience can flourish. Together, we can transform the way you view yourself, helping you shine with the confidence and authenticity you deserve.

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.
