Counseling Practice – Relax & Talk

Located at 1604 W. Pinhook Road, Suite 208, in Lafayette, Louisiana 70508, Relax & Talk has provided professional counseling services to the surrounding community since its founding in April 2019. The practice was established by Shalonda Rubin, M.S., LPC, a licensed professional counselor with more than eight years of clinical experience. Rubin serves as lead clinician and owner, and the practice’s stated mission is to encourage, inspire, and help clients work toward inner peace through dedicated, individualized therapeutic support. That mission shapes the range of services the practice offers and the populations it serves across multiple life stages.

The clinical team at Relax & Talk includes four counselors: Shalonda Rubin (LPC), Shawdyah Fuselier (M.S., LPC), Roxy Rubin (M.S., PLPC), and Ranicsha Allen (M.S., PLPC). The multi-clinician structure allows the practice to serve individuals from children as young as five years of age through late adulthood, addressing a wide span of developmental stages and life circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches used across the team include Person-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, Christian counseling, Solution-Focused therapy, trauma-focused therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychoeducation. Presenting concerns addressed include anxiety, depression, anger management, stress, trauma, self-esteem difficulties, coping skills development, life adjustments, mood disturbances, maternal struggles, relationship concerns, family conflict, and adolescent development challenges.

Session formats include individual therapy for children, adolescents, young adults, and adults, as well as couples and family therapy. Insurance plans accepted include Aetna and Cigna; private pay is also accepted. Online scheduling is accessible through the TherapyPortal platform. The inclusion of both Christian counseling and secular therapeutic frameworks such as ACT and DBT among the practice’s modalities reflects a range of treatment options suited to clients with different value systems and needs. The practice can be reached by phone at 337-335-7671, by fax at 337-205-6273, or by email at info@relaxandtalk.com.
