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.

Kelli Tahaney
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
Hi! I'm Dr. Tahaney and I'm a Psychologist based in Boulder, CO. I moved to Colorado from Boston in 2020 to complete my residency training and start my clinical practice. I have about ten years of clinical experience working with clients from a range of demographic backgrounds and with a variety of presenting problems and symptoms. I have particularly specialized in treating alcohol and drug use disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, ADHD and life transition stress.
I feel passionately about creating a supportive, nonjudgmental, and validating environment and utilizing my extensive background and training in evidence-based practices (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Processing Therapy) to help clients work through their pain and distress to live less inhibited and more fulling lives.

Inner World Counseling Services PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
At Inner World Counseling Services PLLC, I specialize in helping the "fixers," "peacekeepers," and chronic over-functioners who seamlessly support everyone else while secretly drowning in anxiety, burnout, or unresolved trauma. If your outside world looks perfectly put together, but your inside world is exhausted by a relentless inner critic, a fawn response that can’t say "no," or a brain that won't turn off, you don't have to carry it alone. Utilizing specialized trauma therapies like EMDR and CPT, I partner with you to heal the root causes of your anxiety, break survival habits, and build authentic boundaries. I provide secure, convenient telehealth therapy across North Dakota and Minnesota, allowing you to prioritize your healing from the comfort of your own space. Reach out today for a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to see how we can untangle the patterns keeping you stuck and start moving you forward.
