Jocelyn Cadiz

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Louisiana


I believe healing happens in safe, honest spaces—places where you can take off the mask and just be you. My life experience brings cultural perspective, resilience, and curiosity to my work. Clients often say they feel comfortable with me right away. I’m friendly, approachable, and love to laugh—but I also ask the deeper questions to help you explore patterns and move toward healing. Maybe you feel stuck in your relationships, struggle with self-esteem, boundaries, or understanding a painful past. Maybe you’ve been strong for so long that you're exhausted. Whatever you’re carrying, we’ll take it one step at a time—at your pace.

Tasha Fortenberry

Tasha Fortenberry

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Louisiana


15+ years providing family & individual therapy to teens, their caregivers & to adults. With a BA in Sociology, I assess the importance of culture as defined by one's family culture &/or ethnic makeup as this gives unique insight into emotions, behaviors & relationships. I use Spiritual Social Work to explore how normative or non-normative spiritual beliefs shape who we are. Experience in supervisory leadership helps in supporting professional clients in managing performance related anxiety.

The Family Therapy I provide are for teens (13+) and the caregiver(s) or adult-children and their parent relationship. Due to the intensity of the special care and work that goes into family therapy with being able to process multiple family member's perspectives, I only accept a self-pay rate for family sessions as insurances unfortunately do not provide a reasonable rate for family therapy sessions.

Tonya King-Smith

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Louisiana


Hi, I’m Tonya — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor with over 20 years of experience helping people heal from trauma, grief, and life transitions. My style is warm, direct, and rooted in deep respect for every client’s unique story.

Whether you're facing anxiety, relationship challenges, burnout, or navigating the long road of recovery after trauma, I meet you where you are. I also specialize in working with helping professionals, survivors of abuse or assault, adoption issues and life transitions, such as parenthood, new job, or blended families.

Therapy with me is grounded in trust, humor, and collaboration. I use evidence-based approaches like EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, while also incorporating mindfulness, somatic awareness, and yes — the healing power of nature. (I co-facilitate equine-assisted therapy on a peaceful ranch with two retired rodeo horses.)

If you're looking for a therapist who offers real talk, real connection, and a safe space to grow — let's connect.

For scheduling, please reach out by email as my schedule online is not always accurately reflecting availability.
