About me
I’m a dedicated mental health counselor, supervisor, and community advocate passionate about empowering marginalized communities. I provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive care that supports emotional healing, resilience, and personal growth. Through therapy, training, and outreach, I help individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and purpose.
I’m Larneka Lavalais, M.Ed., M.S., LPC-S, NCC—a licensed professional counselor supervisor and founder of a private practice focused on healing, equity, and mental wellness. With over a decade of experience, I provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive care for individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions.
I’m passionate about serving LGBTQ+ individuals and communities of color through therapy, training, and mental health outreach. In addition to counseling, I provide clinical supervision for LPC-Associates and support for graduate interns preparing for licensure.
My practice offers virtual therapy across Texas and includes services from licensed clinicians, associates, and interns. We offer sliding-scale rates to make therapy accessible for all.
As a cancer survivor and community advocate, I bring empathy, real-world perspective, and unwavering hope to every session. My goal is to provide a safe, empowering space where you can heal, grow, and thrive—on your own terms.
Let’s walk this healing journey together.
