Bantu Roots Holistic Healing Center

Hi, I’m Christian Longue Dessug, also known as Coach Chris. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A) based in Texas, with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I got started in this work through years of advocacy and community support, especially with individuals navigating trauma, identity struggles, grief, and major life transitions. Over time, I realized that many people don’t just need someone to “talk to” they need a safe space where they can finally feel seen, supported, and empowered to rebuild their lives. In my practice, I specialize in helping clients who are: dealing with anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm recovering from trauma and difficult life experiences navigating identity challenges, including LGBTQ+ experiences working through relationship difficulties facing grief, loss, or life transitions struggling with self-esteem and self-worth My approach is compassionate, structured, and personalized. I combine evidence-based counseling methods with a deep respect for each client’s background, culture, and personal story. My goal is not just to help you “feel better,” but to help you build emotional strength, healthier boundaries, and a clearer sense of direction. If you’re looking for therapy that feels supportive, real, and grounded, I would be honored to work with you. As an LPC Associate in the State of Texas, I practice under the clinical supervision of Dr. Peta Gay Ledbetter, LPC-Supervisor
