I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with 9 years of professional work experience as a LPC. I received my doctorate degree in Professional Counseling from Mississippi College in 2015. I have worked in the education and community settings for over 12 years where I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & career difficulties. I work with individuals ages 10 and up. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you on that journey.

Dr. Sessoms is calm, professional and a great listener. She seemed to really understand my concerns and shared tools to help with communication and establishing boundaries.

I appreciate Dr. Sessoms's wisdom and respect her therapy advice. It's not easy to find a Black female therapist so this connection is very much appreciated. She's like the auntie I wish I had.

Dr. Sessoms is kind, thoughtful, and extremely insightful. There are some people that are not all that good at their chosen profession and there are those who excel in their chosen profession. Dr. Sessoms is one that is answering her calling. Absolutely amazing!

Dr. Sessoms is a great listener and offers a truly judgment-free space to clear your thoughts and explore your feelings. Then offers insight into how we can grow and work through these issues/challenges.
