Annette Landry Lopez LCSW

Life is full of bumps in the road, and sometimes we lose our way. Therapy allows for a pit stop — a chance to look at a map, fill the tank, and get back on track. I became a clinician because I believe we can overcome challenges and feel better. I love to help people explore their feelings, define their goals, and find the tools they need to live their best life.

Marie Mason LPC

Welcome! I'm Marie Mason, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a deep passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges and find meaningful, lasting change. My journey into counseling began with a love for helping others. Initially, I thought I wanted to be a pediatrician because of my love for kids. However, life led me to education, where I spent 19 years as a teacher. I quickly realized many of my students struggled to thrive academically due to emotional challenges and life circumstances. This sparked a desire to help people work through the obstacles standing in the way of their success, and I retired from teaching to become a full-time counselor.
