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.
I help adults in Mississippi who are feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, low self-esteem, or major life changes. If you’re used to taking care of everyone else and are finally wondering, “What about me?”, you’re in the right place. Therapy with me is a nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, feel heard, and start making sense of what you’re going through so life doesn’t feel so heavy.
Hi, I’m Dr. Olamide Alabi, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a passion for helping people navigate mental health challenges. I have over a decade of experience in mental health and substance abuse treatment, working in hospitals, community mental health centers, and recovery programs.
I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Samford University and hold multiple degrees in nursing, law, and agricultural economics. My diverse background, having studied in Nigeria, and the U.S., helps me provide culturally competent and inclusive care.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use disorders. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and empowered on their journey to wellness.
Hi, my name is Karen Begley, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Mississippi. I am skilled with working with both adolescents and adults using a client-centered approach.
Ramona Girley, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with advanced training and expertise in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of mental health conditions across the lifespan. She brings a strong clinical foundation in psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions within outpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) settings.
Her professional practice focuses on treating mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and co-occurring substance use concerns. She is experienced in conducting comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, risk assessments, and individualized treatment planning tailored to each client’s needs.
In addition to medication management, Ramona emphasizes a holistic and collaborative approach to care, integrating psychotherapy, psychoeducation, and multidisciplinary coordination to support long-term stabilization and recovery. Her clinical style is structured yet compassionate, with a strong commitment to patient-centered care, measurable outcomes, and improving overall quality of life for her clients.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Ridgeland, MS
Searching for therapists in Ridgeland starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, review their listed specialties and approach to care. Some therapists may focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or other methods that can help you understand whether their style fits your needs.
In a smaller city like Ridgeland, the number of local in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Looking at nearby areas like Madison and Flowood can expand your options, and virtual therapy can give you access to more Mississippi-licensed therapists from home. Before booking, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Ridgeland can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated cost before booking. You can browse therapists in Ridgeland, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
