Therapists in Minden, LA

I have over thirty ( 30 ) years of Clinical Social Work experience. This experience includes the provision of psychotherapy as a military officer ( United States Air Force), and as a civilian. I was originally licensed in the state of California, & subsequently has practiced in the states of Tx. & La. My training required mastering the Biopsychosocial model as a prerequisite in evaluating & understanding clients comprehensively. Born in New Orleans, La.,grew up in Baton Rouge, & currently reside out of Shrev., La. I have provided therapy directly to clts in New Orleans, Baton Rouge,Monroe,Lafayette, & Shreveport prior to telemed.

Sometimes in life we run into times that are hard to navigate alone; entering a new phase in life, getting through a break-up or trouble in a relationship, communicating with one another, anger, life transitions, parenting issues and/or blended families. Possibly you, your child or you both have ADHD? I can help with tools for focus and tips for making your day start and go more smoothly, to include that troublesome homework time. Experiencing parenting issues, anxiety and/or depression, I can help you and/or your family work things out and get to a better place.

My ideal client is seeking increased freedom to remove barriers to growth, and to work toward meeting self-identified goals while building on current strengths. Whether struggling with worrisome anxiety, feelings too depressed to enjoy, or behaving in ways that the client wants to change, I tend to take a person-centered, supportive approach to helping. Clients benefit from solution-focused approaches while increasing self-awareness to identify and use strengths, for greater ease of handling life's ups and downs, using clear, simple self-management tools and effective coping. I use psycho-education to ensure client's self-efficacy.
