Interactional Service, Inc. has a long, rich history of providing counseling to those in need. Paul Ware, a prominent psychiatrist and neurologist, had an office next door to Interactional Services, Inc.'s current location in what is now Young Life. Peggy Salley was his first employee in 1965. After adding more staff, Paul formed Interactional Services, Inc. on January 6, 1970 and expanded the offices to the current building. In 1982, when Paul joined LSUHSC-Shreveport as Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry, Peggy and Barbara Thorne-Thomsen formed Salley and Thorne-Thomsen, Inc. and relocated to the Pierremont Office Park. A few years later, Paul sold his practice to Peggy and Barbara and they assumed the name Interactional Services, Inc. 

Linda Watts joined the practice in 2001 and later bought Barbara’s interest. In October 2004, Interactional Services, Inc. moved back to its original location on Southfield.

In 2019, Brandy Stroud joined Interactional Services as a therapist and was excited to purchase the practice in December 2025 when Peggy and Linda offered to sell. Brandy and her husband, Robert, are excited to carry on the rich tradition that Interactional Services has established. By the way, Robert was a long-time client from 1990 to 2007, when by marrying Brandy received full-time therapy.
