Adults Therapists in New Orleans, LA

Struggling with finding your true voice? Hesitant to make the best decision for yourself? Spending too much time worrying about what family, friends, or coworkers think or what they'd expect of you? Take a deep breath... Life is complicated. Balancing work, family, relationships, living life for others can overshadow living for oneself. It's not selfish, it's selfcare. It's important to take the time to address your personal needs and often caring for others can get in the way of doing so. Through a Therapeutic Alliance, Counseling creates a space where sorting through life's challenges and establishing balance becomes possible.

Welcome. I am glad that you are here. I work in partnership with my clients- building a safe, authentic space where they can be themselves. The decision to start therapy is a brave one. While vulnerability may feel uncomfortable, your dedication to self exploration is a powerful force. You have all the tools you need to live your fullest life. It's about time we unearth them! I am well versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. By shifting what we tell ourselves, we can create powerful changes in our perspectives and daily behaviors.

You may be finding it difficult to self-regulate your emotions, behaviors, and/or attention, which is negatively impacting your relationships, performance at work or school, and overall health and well-being. You may struggle with people pleasing, perfectionism, procrastination/avoidance, or isolation. These behaviors were developed to protect yourself from internalized shame and guilt, but ultimately you feel burned out, exhausted, and unfulfilled. This is not how you want to live. You want to understand and accept yourself, create more balance, and feel more empowered in your daily life.

These last few years have presented many challenges for everyone. Depression, anxiety, addiction, grief and other issues are on a rise. It is not always easy to make the decision to reach out for therapy. However, therapy can help and support a person through what they are experiencing. Change is not easy; it takes courage to change and you do not have to face it alone. I have worked in acute care for many years with adults, elderly, children and adolescents. I feel confident to work with many mental health issues.

Since 2009, I have worked with college age and older adults to confront and manage struggles surrounding depression, anxiety, identity confusion, and trauma. We work collaboratively often using dreams and creative projects to gain deeper understanding of the unconscious. All of our work is approached with the presumption that there is an intelligence within that ultimately knows what is best for you, but this wisdom is often concealed by overwhelming emotions, grief, toxic relationships, self-defeating behaviors and thought patterns.

Welcome to the first step in helping yourself. Therapy can be intimidating at first. It takes strength and awareness to ask for help. It is that strength that will help you through your situation. Through the counseling process, you can simplify and manage your life so it can be enjoyed vs. tolerated. Valued concepts are safety, self-care, confidentiality, and communication. New Orleans Counseling and Hypnosis Center emphasizes the importance of the safe relationship between client and therapist. Psycho-education is also used to encourage and develop healthy coping skills and self-care. Register at www.counselingnola.com to start your self care today!

I view counseling as a collaborative relationship between the client and the counselor. This collaborative relationship allows the client and therapist to work together to address issues the client is facing through the development of mutually agreed upon clinical and personal goals. During therapy, I focus on patterns of thoughts, behaviors, moods, and communication that may contribute to client distress. I often address these issues utilizing Person-Centered, Systems, Cogitative Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (evidenced-based therapeutic practices).

Are you struggling to find your place in the world? It can be hard to find your place when everyone around you seems to have it all together.

If you are searching for better self-confidence and a more clear vision and goal-directed life, LaBrea has spent years helping teens and children become emotionally secure in their values and identity, and helping adults improve their cognitive abilities throughout their many life transitions.
