Therapists in Natchitoches, LA

Book your first appointment with me at our website: www.ljwellnessla.com. Does your child have emotional or behavioral issues? Are you a parent struggling to understand how to better relate to your child, adolescent, or teen? You are not alone! I can help your child learn healthy strategies for coping with issues such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, poor grades, and peer relationships. You don't have to feel hopeless about parenting any longer. As a mother and a therapist, I have over 12 years of experience helping children and young adults gain the tools they need in order to live healthy and happy lives.

Reaching out for help can be the hardest part of the therapy journey. Congratulations for taking that first step! I have over 20 years of experience in the behavioral health and addiction field. I utilize a client-centered approach which allows you to take an active role in treatment, CBT, which is used to assist you in developing alternative ways of thinking to change your unwanted behavior, and motivational interviewing, which is a conservation between client and therapist, with a goal to strengthen motivation and commit to change. Feel free to call or email me with any questions!

Accepting New Clients- Something has to change….that is why you have decided it’s time for counseling. Whether it’s figuring out how to change your thinking or make life changes, counseling is the place to find clarity, insight, and the courage to start making those changes. Whether you are struggling with past trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, or want to change behaviors that sabotage your success, we can collaborate and work to create a life you want to show up for everyday.

Life can be incredibly challenging. Often we have visions of the life we want to live, but we can't figure out why we're unable to realize our dreams. Better health, better relationships, increased stability, less worry, more happiness- all of these things can seem just outside of our reach. Life can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be.

I have substantial experience providing individual, couple, family, and group therapy in areas of addiction, mental health, trauma, grief, anger, relationship issues, and other life and family issues.

I have experience working with clients of ages 7 and up and provide counseling to couples, individuals, and families experiencing relationship difficulties, grief, loss, trauma, depression, anxiety, phase of life problems, anger, and those seeking better ways to handle life's difficulties. I work with motivated clients who are looking to change their current situations and improve the quality of their life.

I will be a source of honest support, deep listening, understanding, change processes and, at times, direct advice. I have a passion for working with people to create joyful, more satisfying, balanced, and interesting lives. The purpose of therapy is to offer a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment to find perspective and solve problems. LGBTQA+ friendly, anyone is safe here. I have worked with clients with mild issues and those with lifelong patterns that require a deeper process. If you find the strength to bring yourself here, we will collaborate to help you live a better life.
