Grief counselors and therapists in Jackson, MS

I am August Irving, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider (BC-TMH), and the owner of Life Lessons Counseling, LLC. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. While I work with a diverse range of clients, I have a special interest in supporting women through midlife and perinatal challenges. My approach is collaborative and practical, focused on building resilience, clarity, and sustainable change. I offer therapy in person in Clinton, Mississippi, and virtually throughout Mississippi and Pennsylvania.

If anxiety won't quiet down, stress keeps piling up, or you're navigating something hard, like postpartum changes, a struggling relationship, or something from your past that hasn't had space to heal, you're in the right place. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Mississippi with experience helping individuals and families move through real challenges. I bring genuine warmth to this work, because I believe healing happens when you feel truly heard.

My professional background includes experience in psychiatric mental health, telehealth services, patient advocacy, care coordination behavior health counseling, and nursing leadership.

I serve adolescents, adults, and older adults and strive to create a welcoming, respectful, and culturally sensitive environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns. My goal is to help clients improve their emotional well-being, develop healthy coping strategies, and achieve meaningful progress in their mental health journey.

You've Been Strong for Everyone Else-Now It's Your Turn

For the past 18 years, I’ve helped individuals build resilience, regain confidence, and create meaningful change. If you’re the person everyone relies on but rarely asks for help, the high-achiever who looks successful on the outside while feeling overwhelmed on the inside, or someone who has lost their motivation, confidence, or sense of direction, you’re not alone.

Maybe your mind never seems to shut off. Perhaps you’re constantly overthinking, struggling to set boundaries, feeling emotionally exhausted, navigating a difficult relationship, carrying the weight of past experiences, or facing a life transition that has left you feeling stuck. You may know what needs to change but feel unsure how to move forward.

At Dwell Ase' Counseling and Consultation, LLC, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be. Whether you're seeking relief from anxiety, navigating a major life change, rebuilding your confidence, or simply wanting more from life than just getting through the day, meaningful change is possible and the support you need is just an email away.
