I am the co-owner of Family Therapy Clinic of Louisiana, LLC. I have over 28 years of clinical experience, and I specialize in psychological testing, cognitive-behavioral treatments, and medication management. I work with anxiety-based disorders including Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, PTSD, and performance anxiety issues. I have worked with hundreds of athletes, and provided psychological services for LSU's Athletic Department over a period of 17 years. I am also licensed as a Medical Psychologist and manage medications for a variety of treatment issues.

As a licensed clinical social worker and a PhD in psychological anthropology, I've spent over 20 years studying how people all over the world overcome their suffering. I help clients develop life skills to improve their relationships, decrease their anxiety and find joy in and acceptance of the present moment. Specifically, I combine mindfulness and meditation with cognitive behavioral therapy and traditional psychodynamic methods so that clients can both understand and change what blocks them from happiness.

Relationships are complex; thus, it is my goal to help people navigate them in all of their complexities. I have experience with complex relationships including intimate partner relationships, addictions, food, friendships, toxic partnerships, mental illness, and many more. My approach is a whole person approach, uncovering every layer of the presenting issue. With this approach I am able to navigate some of the most complex concerns. I have also worked closely with the college and post college age population, working with complex life transition concerns.

Hello, my name is Sarah Mecholsky Tipton and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters in Community Counseling from LSU. I am passionate about the work I do, and what fuels my passion is my clients. I see counseling as a collaborative process where I work together with you to explore and define the present problem situations. I value the insight and perspective each of my clients brings to the therapy room, since each person provides invaluable insights into their own life. I take a person-centered approach and will employ an eclectic counseling style, dependent on what each client needs.

If you are experiencing distress in your life and you are looking for professional assistance, I can help you create positive changes and build resilience for coping with life stresses. While my primary expertise is in the area of girls' and women's mental health, I can assist you with many issues including: * Depression and anxiety * Eating Disorders *Perfectionism * Self-esteem and identity issues * Grief and bereavement * Relationship and family conflict * Marriage and couples counseling * Work/family balance concerns * Self-injury * Sexual assault and trauma

Recognizing the need to work on a problem demonstrates courage. Perhaps you are out of ideas for how to cope with a troubled marriage/relationship or a strained relationship with your child or teen. Maybe you are depressed or anxious, experiencing job burnout, and nothing you've tried has helped. You might have a vision of how you want life to change, but need a calm and supportive place to work out how to get there. In times like these, you want someone to understand you, help you redefine your strengths, and offer some new options.

It takes courage to ask for help, especially from someone you don't know. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and clinical pastoral counselor, I work with individuals, couples and families to resolve common human problems. I believe you will benefit from the clinical competence, experience and maturity gained from more than thirty years in practice, and will quickly realize I sincerely care about you. When you reach out to me, I will do my best to respond promptly, without your waiting too long for an appointment. Don't be surprised if I personally answer the phone.

"When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be"( Lao Tzu). Life transitions are a constant thread in our lives, and sometimes a person needs a little guidance to help them make the transition and evolve from their efforts. As a social worker for more than 24 years, my clinical practice has enabled me to work with a diverse group of people representing all ages and stages of their lives and careers. I have appreciated helping each one with their challenges as they worked through their changes to evolve to their next stage of life.

I am a licensed Master Social Worker. I have experience working with adolescence and adults. It is my passion to work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, as well as substance use disorders. I will use a multitude of therapy types. However, I greatly value DBT and mindfulness skills.

Counseling is not just an educational endeavor for me, it is my true life’s passion. As my primary spiritual/natural gift, my purpose on earth is to utilize my counseling skills to serve others in any capacity that I can. We have all felt sad, angry, lonely, misunderstood, unforgiven, misused, abused, fed up, and so on and so forth. Our goal in therapy would be to examine your emotional well being and how it impacts your life. While you process through everything from past trauma to current conflicts, it is significant to know that your growth and healing is what is most important to me.

For 20 year I've worked with a diverse population of clients. I utilize an eclectic approach in psychotherapy that is strongly influenced by developmental, humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness theories of psychology. Psychotropic medication management is often an important part of treating mental health disorders.

Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it... We will work together in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment to increase understanding of which life choices have been healthy and adaptive, and which ones can be learned from and improved. There are no mistakes, as long as one learns from them.

My specialty is career counseling. Many counselors include career counseling among other types of counseling they offer, but my area of expertise is helping individuals decide on a college major, a career, or a career transition. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Highlands Affiliate. My target groups include high school juniors and seniors, college students, new professionals (those who have launched their careers and are not happy), mid-life career changers, and those contemplating retirement who want to engage in some form of work.

I work with families, children, and teenagers to help equip them with skills needed to thrive in life, and resolve conflict. As a parent and youth volunteer within the community, my heart is for this young generation and the issues they face. Depression, anxiety, stress, and peer struggles threaten the emotional well-being of our kids. Sadly, suicide is now one of the leading causes of death for this age group. It’s imperative that our youth receive an outlet for their emotional stress and injury, and receive the coping skills to work through the obstacles they’ll face now and as adults.

I have been a counselor for 31 years. I enjoy working with problems of depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life changing problems, work problems or any feeling of being stuck that people may have. As they talk about their needs and begin to realize their uniqueness, a change begins to happen. It is often like they get out of their prisons of negative thoughts, beliefs, or old ways of thinking and begin to feel differently about themselves as they realize their wholeness and begin to recognize their strengths and abilities.
