Traci Turner, MA, LPC

As a Therapist, nothing compares to helping my clients find meaning during their most difficult times. With the many challenges that life throws us, my goal is to help you positively navigate through these challenges, come out on top, and LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!

Over the course of my 15+ year career in mental health, I have strived to obtain a diverse background, in order to be able to help the many needs of my varying clients. My background includes working in residential treatment facilities, psychiatric hospitals, correctional settings, hospitals, as well as private practice. Through these various avenues, I have been provided services such as direct care, case management, individual, group, and family counseling, as well as psychiatric assessments. Through various therapeutic approaches, I work with my clients to help them heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I truly believe that all of my clients have the power to change within, which is why I utilize a collaborative approach. My primary treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. I proudly hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Xavier University of Louisiana., as well as a Master of Arts degree in Counseling from Prairie View A&M University.

In my free time, I love to spend time with my 2 children and our puppy Oreo, travel (anywhere there’s a beach), and just enjoy life!

Aundrea Jones, LMFT-A

I am Aundrea Jones, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFT-A) under the supervision of Larry R. Bell, Jr, LCMF-S. My passion is helping individuals, couples, and families take ownership of their stories, not by ignoring the hard parts, but by redefining what comes next. My journey to becoming a therapist started with a deep fascination for human relationships, which led me to earn my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Alcorn State University and my Master’s degree in Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy from Our Lady of the Lake University.

Throughout my training and clinical experience, I have worked with individuals, families, and couples facing a wide range of challenges, including trauma, suicide ideation, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, infidelity, grief, and neurodevelopmental differences such as Autism and ADHD. I have also had the privilege of working closely with veterans and their families, supporting them through issues related to substance use, domestic violence, and the complexities of rebuilding life after loss or significant transitions.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Everyone’s story is different, so the way we approach healing should be, too. Therapy with me is about sicovery, not just processing the past but learning how to shape a future that feels true to who you are. Together, we work to understand the patterns that shape your experiences while creating space for new possibilities and change.

I often tell my clients to think of therapy like an art class. The instructor knows the techniques, but the masterpiece is yours to create. Every experience, every choice, every moment of resilience is a brushstroke on the canvas of your life. My job is to help you step back, see the full picture, and decide what you want to create next.
