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.

Nicole Hammond Crowden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD,LCSW-BACS
I have been a social worker for over 18 years and have had the opportunity to work in a variety of areas. However, the last 8 years have been dedicated solely to mental and behavioral health as well as issues related to gender and sexuality. Whether its a person , couple, partnership or family, the issues are identified and together we work towards practical goals that will provide each individual with what they need in order to function. I have developed a style that combines a variety of techniques and treatment modalities. I understand that no two people are the same even if the circumstances appear similar. Therefore, my services are specific to you and are customized to fit your needs. Contrary to what you may believe or heard, you don't need a label or diagnoses to talk with a therapist or a counselor. You may need professional guidance to manage stress, need to modify your parenting style, adjust to life transitions or develop self awareness. I am attentive and available to listen. Just give me a call.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship problems, or difficult life transitions begin affecting your emotional well-being and daily life. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to better understand yourself, heal from past experiences, reduce emotional distress, and create a more meaningful, balanced, and fulfilling life. Many people seek counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, overwhelming emotions, relationship or family issues, grief, burnout, low self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck and disconnected from themselves.
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling and EMDR therapy to help clients identify and resolve the deeper issues contributing to emotional pain, unhealthy patterns, and ongoing stress. Together, you will explore current struggles and past experiences to better understand what may be keeping you feeling overwhelmed, unhappy, or unable to move forward. The goal of therapy is not only symptom relief, but meaningful and lasting healing that helps you regain clarity, confidence, peace, and emotional balance.
Brad takes a holistic and personalized approach to therapy, recognizing that every person’s experiences, needs, and healing process are unique. His counseling style is warm, compassionate, interactive, and non-judgmental, helping clients feel genuinely supported, understood, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process.
Using EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, and holistic therapeutic approaches, Brad helps clients process unresolved trauma, strengthen emotional resilience, increase self-awareness, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating. Therapy focuses on helping clients break unhealthy patterns, reconnect with their inner strengths, and move beyond the pain of the past so they can live with greater purpose, freedom, and fulfillment.
Healing and positive change are possible. No issue is too small or too overwhelming to address in therapy. With the right support, you can reduce stress, restore hope, build resilience, and create the life and relationships you truly want.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing private and convenient access to professional trauma-focused therapy from the comfort of your home.

Shreveport is the commercial center of northwest Louisiana and sits at the cultural intersection of Louisiana Creole heritage, East Texas oil culture, and the Red River Valley's agricultural tradition — a distinctive mix that shapes a therapy community dealing with economic volatility, the psychological effects of an oil-dependent regional economy, and deep community divisions along racial and economic lines. The city has a majority African American population and significant healthcare infrastructure through Willis-Knighton Health System and Ochsner LSU Health, the latter of which provides important training programs for the local clinical community. Barksdale Air Force Base generates meaningful demand for military-focused therapists serving active-duty personnel and veterans in the region. Shreveport's conservative faith community means spiritually integrated therapy is a mainstream offering across many local practices.
