Finding the right counselor for your child or teen can feel overwhelming. We’re excited to make that search a little easier for families in Acadiana. 🤍

Brio Counseling Center is now accepting children and teens, with appointments beginning in September.

Candace works with children, teens, and women and provides support for concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral challenges, and parenting challenges.

Her approach includes CBT, Play Therapy, DBT, and trauma-informed care—meeting younger clients in ways that are appropriate for their age, needs, and development.

Our September waitlist is now open.

If your child or teen has been struggling—or you’ve been wondering whether counseling might help—this can be a good time to reach out.

Sometimes the hardest seasons of life are the ones we were never meant to navigate alone.

Maybe anxiety has become exhausting.

�Maybe a painful memory keeps coming back.

�Maybe grief has changed life in ways you didn't expect.

�Maybe your relationship feels distant or stuck.

�Or maybe you're concerned about changes you're seeing in your child or teenager.

Brio Counseling Center is growing—and we're now accepting children and teens, in addition to adults and couples.

Our clinicians provide specialized, compassionate care for trauma, anxiety, grief, OCD, relationship concerns, and more, with in-person counseling in Lafayette and telehealth available across Louisiana.

For many therapists, the entrepreneurial side of our profession doesn’t always come naturally—and that’s okay.

Clinical training prepares us to care for others, but it doesn’t always prepare us to build a business, develop professionally, or navigate the many roles that come with being a mental health professional.

At Brio Counseling Center, one of our values is supporting the professional community by creating opportunities for personal growth, professional development, meaningful connection, and new ways of thinking about our work.

That’s one of the reasons we created The Grounded Mug Book Club in Lafayette, LA—a welcoming space created specifically for mental health professionals.

☕ How it works:
�• We choose a book to read in advance, at our meetings.
�• We meet to discuss what stood out, what challenged us, and what we can apply personally or professionally.
�• We connect and network with other mental health professionals over a cup of coffee or tea.

There’s no pressure to have all the answers—or even to speak if you’d rather listen. Come to learn, connect, and grow alongside other mental health professionals in our community.

The event is free, but registration is required. And yes…the coffee is on us! ☕😉

Children worry too—and sometimes their worries become bigger than they can handle.

Anxiety in children and teens can show up as frequent stomachaches, trouble sleeping, school refusal, irritability, excessive worrying, or avoiding activities they once enjoyed.

These signs are often mistaken for "just a phase."

At Brio Counseling Center, we provide a safe, supportive space where children and teens can learn healthy ways to manage anxiety, build confidence, and thrive.

🌿 Our September waitlist is now open.

Sexual Assault Is Never a Joke.

Sexual assault is not a punchline, a misunderstanding, or something to dismiss.

It can leave lasting emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual wounds that affect survivors long after the event.

Understanding the impact of sexual assault is an important step toward creating safer communities.

Prevention begins with respecting boundaries, practicing clear consent, speaking up against harmful behavior, and supporting those who choose to share their experiences.

If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, healing is possible. You do not have to carry the weight of trauma alone.

Professional counseling can provide a safe, confidential space to process what happened, rebuild trust, and move toward hope and healing.

At Brio, we provide compassionate, faith-informed counseling across Louisiana for individuals seeking support after trauma.

Wherever you are in your healing journey, we're here to walk alongside you.

Please share and care.
