The Baton Rouge - Perkins Team

I am a Licensed Professional  Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II:

Complex Trauma. I specialize in working with survivors of human trafficking and survivors of

sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. For 10+ years, I have assisted children, adolescents, and

adults in developing the tools needed to facilitate trauma healing and cope with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I see counseling as a process in which we work as a team to explore and

define presenting issues, develop goals for a more fulfilled life, and work towards reaching those goals. Through trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, I incorporate various interventions depending on what works best for you or your child including play, art, and mindfulness

techniques.

  As a therapist, my goal is to provide a comfortable and safe environment where clients are able to share their story without guilt or fear of judgement.
We all struggle at different times in life, but we don’t have to suffer alone. I view therapy as a way to embrace the human need to be seen and heard and share your story with a compassionate and caring provider.
In sessions we work together to find what’s not working in your life and move towards solutions so you can find relief from life’s stressors.
I see clients 18+ from all walks of life. I have a soft spot for women going through postpartum depression or pregnancy loss which prompted me to get specialized training in perinatal mental health.
I look forward to meeting with you and giving you space to share your story.  

  My name is Brett LeBlanc, and I am a LPC with a degree from Nicholls State University. I believe in using empathy and assisting others in making changes in their life to better their experiences and outlook on the world around them. My approach is to listen patiently and guide you through skills to dispute your own negative thoughts. My primary approaches are Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, but I believe in also being flexible to what my client needs. I firmly believe that everyone has a right to live their life to the fullest and push through hardships because self-made happiness is the most fulfilling kind!

Hello! I’m Kirsten Washington, a provisionally licensed professional counselor working towards

full licensure. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Nicholls State

University. I support children, teens, and adults as they navigate anxiety, trauma, depression,

identity development, emotional regulation, and life transitions. I use a flexible, person-

centered approach that adapts to the needs of each client. I'm especially committed to

fostering an inclusive, affirming space where people of diverse backgrounds and identities feel

safe, supported, and valued.

Life is far from easy. It’s even harder when you don’t have someone you can talk to without

worrying about judgment, criticism, or bias. My goal in the counseling relationship is to be that

steady person in your life who can sit with you in both chaos and calm, help you slow it down or

speed it up, but ultimately to figure out what works for you.

I am currently a PLPC working toward full licensure after graduating from St. Bonaventure

University with my M.S.E.d. in 2024. I come to this work with years of experience as a first

responder, and I carry that perspective with me — especially when sitting with trauma, crisis,

and the kind of pain that doesn’t always get talked about. I’ve worked with addiction and

recovery and see trauma as a central thread in many of the challenges people face.

My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, with a strong appreciation for the

psychodynamic perspective — how our past quietly shapes our present. I’ve completed Level 1

Gottman training to support couples in building or rebuilding connection, and I integrate

evidence-based strategies to meet each client where they are.

I work with all age groups and offer both in-person and telehealth sessions. Whether you're

navigating big feelings, sorting through a life shift, or just trying to not feel stuck — there's room

for you here.

Therapy is based on you, with real conversations that you have been waiting for and needing to

have. I believe change happens best when the connection feels natural. If we click, we work —

and that’s when things start to get interesting!

Hi, I’m Chasity Davis, MA, PLPC. I’m passionate about helping individuals and families—from children to older adults—navigate life’s most challenging moments. I specialize in mental health counseling, marriage and family therapy, grief, trauma, crisis prevention, coaching, and career counseling.

My approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing from evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused brief therapy, and systemic family theories. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can heal, grow, and build resilience at your own pace.

With experience in clinical, school-based, addiction recovery (including medication-assisted treatment and Drug Court populations), and community settings, I bring cultural sensitivity, compassion, and a collaborative spirit to my work.

I hold both a Master’s and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, along with specialized training and certificates in Marriage and Family Therapy and Applied Behavior Analysis. I’m also a two-time self-published author and deeply value the role of storytelling and self-expression in the healing process.

I’m here to walk alongside you on your path to healing and meaningful change.
