Elevating You Life Coaching
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP & TRLC
Hi! My name is Gricelda Alva Brito. I am a Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™) Practitioner, SEP and Trauma Resiliency Life Coach (TRLC).
I completed my three year Professional Certificate program in September 2024 offered by Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™)International. Additionally, I trained as a Trauma Resiliency Life Coach through The Arizona Trauma Training Institute accredited and globally recognized by Trauma Institute International. I have worked with survivors of sexual harm offering crisis counseling as a CA Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Crisis Counselor.
Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™) is a modality developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine. SE™ addresses healing the root of trauma and unresolved stress by working with the nervous system.
As a Somatic Life Coach, I will support you in pursuing meaningful goals that align with your life purpose.
Trauma Resiliency Life Coaching will offer individuals with opportunities to understand the neurobiology of their nervous system, manage stress, trauma responses, and gaining awareness on limiting beliefs. TRLC uses an asset focus, strength-based, trauma-informed approach, client led, and salutogenic approach to support client wellness. Somatic Coaching offers an opportunity for empowerment, embodiment and maximizing a client’s true potential in moving forward in life.
As a trauma-informed Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) my approach is to meet clients where they are by creating a safe container. I support clients in regaining control in their lives. I bring a caring presence to support clients to process what needs to come to the surface.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Have you made time and space for you today? Most of us haven't—and therapy isn't the only way to do it. Consider Holistic Life Coaching instead. As a certified professional coach, I am here to encourage you to take a breath, take a beat to consider who you are, where you are, and if you are feeling satisfaction in your own success. If you aren't, I invite you to have a conversation with yourself about what can be done differently—allow me to moderate that conversation. Together we can help you live into your own definition of success and begin to feel it deeply. To breathe it in and live.

Renewed Life Solutions
Licensed Professional Counselor, Tonya Ramsey, MS., LPC, NCC, CCTP
As a licensed professional counselor and a proud retired Navy veteran, my heart is deeply invested in empowering individuals like you to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience. I understand that many people face critical mental health issues without the guidance and support they need, often held back by stigma or simple unawareness. It’s my belief that effective mental health management not only clarifies your path but also transforms your dreams into achievable goals, paving the way for a fulfilling and enriched life. By choosing to work with a compassionate and relatable therapist like me, you’re taking a courageous first step toward healing and self-discovery.
With years of experience connecting with clients of all ages and diverse backgrounds, I warmly welcome the unique complexities that each person brings to our work together. My practice is not defined by a single specialty; rather, it focuses on understanding the intricate details of your experiences. My mission is rooted in compassion, expertise, and a deep commitment to walking alongside you on your wellness journey.
I know that feeling misunderstood or isolated in your struggles is all too common, but in our sessions, you’ll find an empathetic professional who listens with genuine care and understanding. Together, we’ll create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely and explore what’s on your mind. I also believe that a sprinkle of laughter can be a powerful healing tool, so I’ll bring moments of levity into our time together, helping to ease your journey toward a more stable and satisfying life—all without any extra costs. Together, we’ll unlock your true potential and work toward creating a brighter, more hopeful future.

Considering Divorce? Please call me before you call an attorney! What can seem like you're heading for a break up can be a breakthrough to a deeper connection; despite infidelity, loss of a child or lack of intimacy. You are perhaps feeling shame or anger and you're anxious to take the first step; yet you want to try everything for yourself and your family. Maybe you've tried other methods such as marriage counseling to no avail. Please call for a free consult! Or you're looking to rebuild after a breakup and feel like you've lost yourself. My premarital work helps curb divorce stats! Prefer a 100% confidential
therapeutic process from the start? Most relationship issues do not involve a mental health diagnosis. Rather, you’ve adapted to and from broken models. Through relationship education you will learn new models and tools to equip yourself for the relationship you want with yourself or someone else.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Something in you knows that what you're carrying runs deeper than the presenting problem.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and outwardly composed-yet internally they live with anxiety, depression, chronic tension or pain, relentless self-criticism, or a sense that something essential is blocked, muted, or just out of reach. These struggles may surface in mood, in the body, in behavior, or in relationships-including sexuality and intimacy-but they are rarely contained to any one area. They tend to reflect deeper emotional and relational patterns formed early in life, often before language, that continue to shape how a person approaches closeness, vulnerability, agency, pleasure, and self-expression.
My work centers on how early experience shapes the capacity for self-regulation, desire, connection, and meaning throughout life-and particularly on how people come to know what they need and want, how they learn to express or inhibit those impulses, and what happens when these capacities become conflicted, constricted, or difficult to sustain.
I integrate psychoanalytic hypnotherapy, somatic awareness, and clinical sexology within a reflective, depth-oriented process. Hypnosis functions as a central clinical tool-creating conditions for deeper internal contact with emotional, bodily, and unconscious experience that can be difficult to reach through conversation alone. The aim is not only relief from symptoms, but the development of a more coherent and compassionate relationship with one's inner life: sensations, emotions, impulses, and desires.
This work is oriented toward lasting psychological change-and toward greater freedom in how one relates to oneself, one's body, and one's capacity for connection, authenticity, and vitality. It is best suited to those ready to move beyond symptom management toward something more fundamental.

Metairie is the largest suburb of New Orleans, sitting in Jefferson Parish just west of the city, and its mental health landscape is inseparable from the legacy of Hurricane Katrina, which flooded large parts of the area in 2005 and left lasting trauma across a community that rebuilt slowly and with ongoing grief. As a historically more prosperous suburb of New Orleans, Metairie has higher rates of private insurance coverage and more accessible private therapy than the city itself, but ongoing climate anxiety and the recurring stress of subsequent storms remain significant presenting concerns. Ochsner Health System and Tulane University's medical programs provide behavioral health services in the broader New Orleans metro, and a private therapy sector serves Metairie residents directly. Common therapy concerns include hurricane-related trauma and grief, climate and weather anxiety, family stress, and the complex community grief of a region still navigating recovery decades after Katrina.
