Grief counselors and therapists in Laredo, TX

Hello! I am Peace Popoola, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a passion for helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. I am also certified as a Perinatal Therapist (PMH-C). You don't have to be "fine" all the time. Whether you are struggling mood changes, relationship challenges or perinatal grief/loss, I provide a judgement-free space to release emotions and take a break from chaos.

If you've been searching for a therapist who truly gets where you're coming from, whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, family tension, ADHD, or struggling with substances, I want you to feel at home here from the first conversation. I work with individuals, couples, and families across all stages of life, including children, teens, and older adults. I offer sessions in both English and Spanish, and I warmly welcome clients of faith who want their beliefs to be a real part of the healing process.

This work found me early. I grew up watching my parents serve their community with unconditional love, and as a teenager I realized that was the path for me too. Over 10 years into this calling, that hasn't changed.

Whether you're coping with the loss of a loved one, managing the emotional impact of a chronic illness, healing from past experiences, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, I strive to provide thoughtful, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. I provide a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore life's challenges at your own pace. I specialize in working with adults experiencing grief and bereavement, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, chronic health conditions, and major life transitions.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two boys, working out, and reading psychological thrillers!

Hi, I’m J’nayle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore life’s challenges. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, burnout, grief, and major life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and focused on helping clients build healthier coping skills, emotional insight, and stronger relationships with themselves and others.

What truly sets me apart is my calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are, creating a safe and affirming space for open, honest communication. Together, we’ll build a collaborative relationship where goals, preferences, and values guide every step of your care. I am committed to providing stigma-free care; including those navigating challenges related to neurodivergence, substance use, trauma, identity or difficult past experiences. Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected without fear of shame or judgment.
