About Us

Jessica Latin, MA, LPC-S, PMH-C

Owner/Therapist/Doula

I'm not just a licensed professional counselor; I'm a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Drawing from both personal experiences and professional training, I strive to guide my clients toward their best selves.

​

I offer various services including individual, group, teletherapy, couples, and family therapy. My expertise covers diverse topics, and I value the learning exchange with my clients, continually enriching my ability to assist others. I utilize therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Perinatal Interpersonal Therapy (P-IPT), and I'm trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) through an EMDRIA approved training- EMDR in Color.

​

My educational background includes a bachelor's in Psychology and a master's in Counseling and Guidance from Louisiana Tech University. I hold licenses in Louisiana, Georgia, and Texas, providing clinical supervision in Louisiana. Additionally, I'm a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and have a graduate certificate in Dynamics of Domestic Family Violence. For over a decade, I've been advocating for domestic violence awareness and support local shelters.

​

Certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) by Postpartum Support International (PSI). Since 2019 I served as a Louisiana State Ambassador for 2020 Mom, supporting mothers with maternal mental health issues. I have volunteered with PSI as a volunteer support coordinator aiding families in North Louisiana. I am now the current PSI Louisiana Chapter board co-chair. I have additional perinatal mental health training from the Seleni Institute in New York. I am also a trained doula through Sista Midwives in New Orleans, LA.  

​

I serve as a Gratis Clinical Instructor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine at LSU Health and Sciences Center in Shreveport.
