Lafayette, Louisiana therapist: Melissa LaCour, licensed professional counselor
Parenting

Melissa LaCour

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Parenting is one of the most humbling experiences a person can have — and one of the least supported. I work with parents navigating the emotional weight of raising children, particularly adoptive and foster parents whose parenting journey carries layers that traditional parenting resources rarely address. Whether you're trying to understand a child's behavior through an attachment lens, navigating conversations about identity and belonging, or simply trying to show up for your family while also taking care of yourself, this is a space where parenting's real complexity gets the attention it deserves.

New Orleans carries deep collective trauma from Hurricane Katrina and subsequent flooding events, and therapists specializing in disaster recovery, PTSD, and community resilience remain in strong demand. The city's culture of celebration and togetherness can mask significant individual struggles with addiction, grief, and depression, and therapists here often work at the intersection of joy, loss, and survival. New Orleans' distinct cultural identity — rooted in African American, Creole, and Caribbean traditions — means culturally grounded and community-engaged therapy is particularly valued. Tulane Medical Center and University Medical Center New Orleans provide institutional mental health resources alongside a network of independent practitioners serving Uptown, Mid-City, and the Marigny.
