Adoption Therapy in Lafayette, LA
Stop Carrying Your Story Alone
Compassionate counseling for adult adoptees ready to stop bracing for rejection, and adoptive parents looking to understand their child before the hard questions come.
There’s only one you. Let’s get to know them.
I’m Melissa LaCour — a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Louisiana, practicing in-person and via telehealth across Louisiana, Georgia, Indiana, Minnesota, and Ohio.
I became a therapist because I know what it feels like to have questions about who you are — and not have a safe place to ask them. I'm adopted. I've changed careers. I've loved and lost and started over. Those experiences don't make me your therapist because I've "been through things." They make me your therapist because I understand that the most important work a person can do is the work of knowing themselves.
Who I Help
Specialized Care for Every Part of the Adoption & Relational Journey
Therapy that helps you understand yourself more fully.
I work with adults and families who are ready to do real work — on who they are, how they connect, and where they're headed.
Whether you're navigating adoption, a complicated relationship, or a major life transition — what we're really doing in this space is helping you understand yourself more fully.
My approach is warm, direct, and deeply personalized. No scripts, no worksheets you could have Googled. Just honest, grounded conversation that goes somewhere.
-
Adoption & Identity Therapy
You turned out "fine," but fine isn't the same as whole. If you are tired of performing gratitude, carrying an unspoken fear of rejection, or feeling like you have to explain the basics of adoption to your therapist, you are in the right place.
-
Relationship & Attachment Counseling
Break free from repeating unhealthy relational patterns, heal anxious or avoidant attachment styles, and learn to set firm boundaries, without building walls. Build meaningful connections grounded in clarity and self-worth.
-
Life Transitions & Personal Growth
For individuals and families in Lafayette facing major identity shifts, repeating unhealthy attachment patterns, or navigating pivotal life changes. Learn to build firm boundaries and authentic connection without building walls.
I’m Melissa LaCour, LPC.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Lafayette, LA, specializing in adoption, relationships, and life transitions. More than that, I am an adoptee myself.
When you walk into my office or log into telehealth, you won't spend half our time explaining family dynamics or educating your therapist. I bring professional training—including specialized training through C.A.S.E. (Center for Adoption Support and Education)—alongside lived understanding.
