Shawn Gautreaux
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
I help guide, inform, and inspire individuals to feel more confident about their life and choices. I do this by using a knowledge based approach which utilizes research based tools, techniques, nutrition, and my experience to heal physically, mentally, and emotionally. I have worked in the Mental Health Industry since 1999. I started off working for the Public School System as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist, eventually becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor and Counselor Supervisor and later training as a Life Optimization Coach opening my own business Abundant Life Consulting. Through this time I've developed a variety of skills enabling me to help those I work with lead more productive, healthier, and happier lives.

Sara Pesic
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, CCTP
In years of practicing counseling and doing my own training and research, I have learned that besides knowing "Why" it is also important to know "How." I find many people knowing where their trauma or problem is coming from, but they are still not able to move forward and resolve the issue. My focus is on understanding the client's challenges and then helping them move forward with practical and manageable steps.

Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Most people who find their way to my practice have already tried to figure things out on their own. They've read the books, talked to friends, maybe even seen a therapist before. And somewhere along the way they realized that what they actually need isn't more information — it's a space where they can finally be honest about what's really going on.That's what I try to offer.I'm an adoptee, a former marathon runner, a person who has changed careers and navigated loss and started over more than once. I don't bring my story into the room to make therapy about me. But I do bring it as evidence that I understand, in a real way, what it feels like to sit with hard questions about who you are and where you belong.My work is warm and direct. I won't validate you into stagnation or challenge you without compassion. I'll tell you the truth, sit with you in the uncomfortable, and help you build the kind of self-knowledge that actually changes how you move through the world.I work with adults, athletes, and families navigating adoption, relationships, life transitions, and the mental side of athletic performance. I see clients in person in Lafayette, Louisiana, and via telehealth throughout Louisiana, Ohio, and Minnesota.If you've been looking for a therapist who will actually engage with your whole story — not just the presenting problem — I'd love to talk.
