While teaching practice courses at the Tulane School of Social Work for 30 years, I have also enjoyed mentoring younger social workers in supervision and consultation groups. I share handouts and techniques I have learned from a range of trainings--including Mentalization-based Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Bowenian Family Systems, Yalom's interpersonal/existential group psychotherapy, Walsh's approach to spirituality in therapy, and McGoldrick's, Boyd-Franklin's, Falicov's, and Aponte's multi-cultural approaches to family therapy. I also encourage group participants to develop their own specialities and to share them in the group.

Long-term sobriety from any addiction has best results in group settings. Therefore, I offer a once a week 12-step existential group allowing members to explore their daily struggle with old 'addictive' thought patterns and replace them with solution focused thinking in a spiritual context . This is an "open group" which mean members can join or leave at any time; however, confidentiality is sacred requiring all members to adhere to confidentiality. Recommendations for length of attendance is determined by client and counselor based on individual needs. Please contact counselor for individual orientation session and appropriateness.

Adults Support Groups
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
