Therapists in Stonewall, LA

Are you struggling with Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, and/or Substance Abuse? Are you or your children experiencing ADHD symptoms, Oppositional Defiance, or Impulsivity? Having thoughts of hopelessness, and/or fearful of the unexpected due to you or a loved one being diagnosed with an unforeseen illness? If you have answered Yes to any of these you have come to the right place and I would like to welcome you because you have taken the first step.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and I work with children and adults, including individuals, couples, and families. My clients may be sad, anxious, overwhelmed, confused or they may have experienced trauma in their life and when they come to therapy having a safe, accepting and validating space is of the utmost importance. I am a strengths-based therapist that meets clients where they are. I help clients with expectations and goals, and empower clients to enact change in their life.

Are you feeling like life’s journey has thrown a few curveballs your way? Well, fear not, because I’m here to be your co-pilot through the ups, downs, and everything in between. As a passionate counselor, I’ve made it my mission to transform challenges into stepping stones and uncertainties into opportunities. Imagine our counseling sessions as a safe harbor, a space where you’re free to be unapologetically yourself. I bring to the table a blend of empathy, understanding, and a dash of humor—because let’s face it, laughter can be the best medicine, especially when coupled with genuine support.

When life happens, sometimes it can leave us feeling powerless, voiceless and alone, like there’s nowhere to turn and nothing we can do. However, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, the answers to many of life’s struggles are already within each of us. We just need help uncovering the solutions.

Are you trying to hold it all together? Do people think your handling things considering what you've been through? Is it finally time you put yourself first? At Elated Counseling, My priority is giving you quality services with someone you can trust. I specialize in trauma, sexual abuse and life transitions. My interest includes working with individuals wanting to tap into their potential and heal. I have been in the helping field for over ten years and I bring quality therapy and education to the community.

So many of us want and need validation. I have clients express relief when they hear they are not alone with how they feel or act. Some just want to be heard...to have someone truly listen. Many struggle with low self esteem or feel awkward in social settings. I believe a person’s physical well-being is related to their emotional and spiritual self. If one is out of sync, it affects the rest. Everyone wants to be happy! I am prepared to help individuals find their own happy and healthy balance in life!

Oftentimes people say the first step of becoming a healthier you is seeking help, and you are doing exactly that right now. I know that it isn’t easy, but I want to help you get to a place where you feel confident in who you are as a person. I want to inspire you to learn from the past, thrive in the present, and be excited about the future. I believe that taking a non-judgmental and empathetic viewpoint can empower a client to feel heard in whatever stage of life they are. Whether you are feeling stuck, completely unmotivated, or are ready to face all of your struggles head on; I want to be there right beside you through it all.
