Hi! My name is Wanakee and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Louisiana. I have experience working with children, adolescents and young adults. I was also a school counselor for nine years so I have experience with ADHD, anger management and self-esteem issues. I have also worked with those diagnosed with serious mental illnesses. I have a firm belief that I need to meet clients where they are. I learn from my clients just like they learn from me. Therapy is not a quick fix but a journey into healing. Let's work together to help build a more functional life. I look forward to speaking with you
The first session will include going over the assessment that was sent. Then I would like to do some rapport building. I don't automatically jump into modalities and techniques. I want to learn about you
I am easy-going and non-judgmental. I commend those who are vulnerable enough to be open with a complete stranger.
Take the first step to help. Call or Wanakee Smith now - (337) 317-4670

Young children and adolescents struggling with school issues and self-esteem and want guidance on how to deal with difficult times. I also enjoy working with young adults who want better coping skills and tools to deal with life's struggles. I believe the first agent of change is the way we think and our mindset.
