The Metairie Team

kimberly davis - MA, LPC

Face to Face Sessions and Telehealth Services in the Metairie Office

Hi, my name is Kim Davis, and I am so pleased that you have made a choice to find a professional counselor to assist you in reaching your full potential. I primarily subscribe to Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, which is more of an action-oriented approach to mental health. In counseling, that means that together we will examine your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and learn how to manage them in a more realistic, productive way. We will work to ensure those self-defeating thoughts no longer control your life! Please reach out with any questions and let’s get started on working through things together!

I am a licensed professional counselor and have worked with children and adults. I have a special affinity for working with middle and high school students but will work with any person that needs help. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Kelly L. Walsh (She/Her/Hers), MS, LPC, NCC, is licensed to practice in the state of Louisiana. She earned an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health from Loyola University New Orleans, as well as a B.S. in Communications with a minor in Psychology from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

Kelly’s intention as a therapist is to create and maintain a trusting, reflective environment in which her clients can explore their cognitions, behaviors, feelings, and values. Kelly works from a person-centered approach, with the understanding that all clients and their experiences are unique. Kelly also considers the “systems” in which each individual is a part of. Together with her clients, Kelly will help expand the individual’s awareness of their identity and how each experience has influenced their mental health. Kelly believes that the therapeutic relationship is the most significant component of the healing process and aims to meet her clients where they are. She is passionate about working with individuals during transitional phases of their lives, and has an interest in working alongside veterans, active duty military, and their families/partners. Kelly also has pointed experience working with adolescents, their families, the LGBTQIA+ community, those experiencing loss and grief, as well as clients feeling symptoms of depression and anxiety.

melissa lacoste - Med, LPC

Face to Face Sessions and Telehealth Services in the Metairie Office

I have a passion for connecting and helping people reach balance, direction, and live a more fulfilling life. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families. I have worked with people from various backgrounds including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, grief, stages of life, trauma, severe mental illness, and marital/relationship issues. Therapy is highly effective, but requires openness, patience, and dedication! I would love to work with you and help you on this journey called “Life.”

I tend to be eclectic and pull from many different modalities, while still continuing to grow, expand, and research new ones. Therapy is not a “one size fits all” that I keep in mind in sessions. Each person and their uniqueness should be considered in finding the right technique or method to suit that person. Just to name a few techniques that I use include: cognitive reframing/restructuring, meditation/relaxation, solution focused, deconstructing negative thought/behavioral patterns, light hypnosis for rewiring subconscious, affirmations, frequency healing/Healy device, and thought writing.
