Meet Our Therapist
Kesha M. Simmons, M.Ed.
National Board Certified Licensed Professional Counselor; EMDR Provider; Certified Clinical Trauma Professional; TBRI Practitioner; Certified Telehealth Professional
I am Kesha Simmons, a board-certified psychotherapist and trauma specialist with over ten years of experience helping individuals and communities through education and counseling. I founded The Family Connection Center to provide accessible mental health services for families facing various challenges. Many individuals struggle with mental health issues and trauma, so I wanted to create a safe space for them to receive compassionate care.
I earned my Master of Education in School Counseling, and my counseling journey began in 2013 at Caddo Parish Magnet High School, where I developed a passion for supporting students’ mental health.
I focus on trauma-informed practices and share my expertise through education and speaking engagements. My work has been featured in local media, where I advocate for mental health awareness. I believe that childhood experiences do not have to determine one’s future. By acknowledging my own past, I transformed my life and became passionate about empowering others to take charge of their narratives, reminding them that they too can write their own inspiring stories.
