Shannon S. Blestel, BCD, MSW, LCSW: Practicing for 34 years, I am the Apex Counseling lead with offices in Slidell and New Orleans. Online Telehealth is also offered for you. I am here for you and so are my talented teammates. Your freedom! That is why I do what I do! I believe we are meant to live lives full of joy and freedom from depression, fear, addictions, and factors that can turn potentially good relationships into bad ones. My life has been dedicated to this vision for all people. I am continually humbled by the privilege to get to be such a part of healing and freedom in people's lives. I encourage you not to wait.

Dawne Moffett, LCSW: The people I help are navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, or just feeling stuck. With 12 years of experience, my approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strengths-Based Support, and Functional Family Therapy (FFT). I believe that taking care of your mental health starts with taking care of you.

Sandra Tillman, PLPC: An Air Force veteran and woman of faith, I bring both clinical training and real-life experience to help find freedom. My approach combines evidence-based therapy like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Psychodynamic Theory with a deep respect for your spiritual journey.
