Welcome to Nightshade Counseling
Specialized support,
because you are a force of nature,
not a victim of one.

We’re not here to “fix” you.
We're here because we believe your distress isn’t a personal failing—it's a predictable reaction to toxic, unjust systems. We reject the false promises of the wellness industry and the tired, one-size-fits-all models of therapy.
Our mission is to provide an unapologetically anti-capitalist, anti-racist, and queer-affirming space where we can work together to dismantle the forces that make you sick.
This is about moving from surviving to thriving, by reclaiming your power and your story, on your own terms.
Hi, I’m Dr. Mo Deslandes (they/them), and I’m a therapist for the messy parts of us all.
My work has taken me to some dark and difficult places—from the locked doors of inpatient units to the intimate spaces of residential care. I've been honored to walk with people through their most profound grief, their most intense pain, and their most terrifying secrets. My passion lies in working with those who have been deeply wounded by trauma and those who have been pathologized for their existence, including folks with PTSD, dissociative disorders (DID, OSDD), and borderline personality disorder. I also have a special place in my heart for those forging their own path in relationships and identity, whether it's through kink, ethical non-monogamy, or their LGBTQIA+ journey.
My mission is simple: to help you unearth the resilient, powerful person that has been buried under a mountain of expectations.
We work on the stuff they tell you is too much…
(it’s not)
Trauma & PTSD
Boarderline Personality Disorder
Dissociative Disorders (OSDD & DID)
Sucidality & Self-Harm
We embrace who you are, especially in kink, ethically non-monogamous relationships, and LGBTQIA+ communities.
