Greetings!

I’m Parola —Multilingual Therapist (English, French, and Haitian Creole)

 

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying invisible pain or long-standing struggles. I’m here to offer support, insight, and a space where you don’t have to carry it all alone. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and begin the process of rebuilding — with intention, care, and empowerment.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly seen. My approach is grounded in empathy and cultural humility, and I work collaboratively with each client to tailor a plan that honors their identity, history, and goals. My mission is not just to help you feel better, but to help you become the version of yourself you want to be — confident, resilient, and self-aware.

​

I hold a Master of Arts in Mental Health Professional Counseling Psychology from Immaculata University in Pennsylvania, where I built a solid foundation in therapeutic practice and psychological assessment. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in General Psychology with an emphasis in Cognition and Instruction at Grand Canyon University.

​

Healing is not a straight line, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you’restarting therapy for the first time or returning after time away, I’m here to walk besideyou with empathy and respect.

If you are ready to begin your journey toward meaningful change, I’d be honored to support you.
