Tree of Life Counseling and Consulting

The Tree of Life symbol represents our personal development, uniqueness and individual beauty.
(1)

Tree of Life Counseling and Consulting is a multiculturally focused group counseling practice that seeks to bridge the gap for ethnic, linguistic, LGBTQ+ and QTBIPOC minority communities in the Acadiana area. Just as the branches of a tree strengthen and grow upwards to the sky, we too grow stronger, striving for greater knowledge, wisdom and new experiences as we move through life.

🌳 As Hispanic Heritage Month continues, Karina Santiago-Velazquez PLPC shares this reflection:

"This month is more than celebration—it’s reclamation. It’s about honoring our roots, our resilience, and our right to heal in spaces that understand us.
As a Hispanic therapist, I’ve witnessed how cultural stigma, language barriers, and lack of representation can make therapy feel distant or unsafe. But healing should never ask us to leave our culture at the door. At Tree of Life Counseling & Consulting, we’re committed to creating spaces where our stories are honored, our identities are affirmed, and our healing is culturally rooted. To every client navigating mental health while holding cultural pride: I see you. I walk with you."

In many BIPOC communities, mental health conversations are still met with silence, shame, or fear.

In her latest blog, Ashli King, LPC, NCC, explores how stigma forms—and how we can dismantle it through education, representation, and culturally responsive care.

From generational beliefs to systemic barriers, Ashli offers insight into why stigma persists and how therapy can become a space of empowerment, not judgment.

🌺 As Hispanic Heritage Month begins, our Clinical Director and CEO, Maria “Mica” Salazar Istre, LPC, NCC, shares this reflection:

"This month, we celebrate the vibrant cultures, histories, and contributions of Hispanic and Latin communities. At Tree of Life Counseling & Consulting, we also recognize the importance of culturally responsive mental health care—care that honors language, identity, and lived experience. We know that stigma, access barriers, and underrepresentation still impact how many in our communities seek support. That’s why our commitment is clear: to provide therapy that reflects the richness of our clients’ backgrounds and meets them with compassion, not judgment. Mental health care should never ask you to leave your culture at the door. It should embrace it."

📞 Call the office at (337) 703-2806 to connect with a therapist, like Mica, who understands the importance of culturally attuned care.
