Therapists in Louisiana

Hi! My name is Elizabeth deVargas. Are you ready to make individual, relationship, and/or family changes? Through the counseling process, I will provide an atmosphere of openness, trust, and support in which you may choose to examine and change patterns or behaviors that are currently not working for you. I believe that as people become personally responsible for their interactions and behavior, they are more capable of finding happiness and contentment. Counseling is a collaborative process in which we will work together towards mutually agreed upon goals.

I offer a highly personalized approach, tailored to each of my client's individual needs and strengths, within a comfortable and supportive environment. I have over 20 years of experience working with clients experiencing issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, family & relationship difficulties, & medical conditions. My office is located in Prairieville, just off Airline Hwy near Hwy 42 and easily accessible to all areas of Ascension, East Baton Rouge, & Livingston Parishes.

Hi, I'm Dr. Anita Pool! Are you or your child struggling due to a transition, loss, or other life event? Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or in need of support? If so, I would love to help! Whether working with children or adults, I practice from a person-centered approach which relies heavily on the relationship between the client and counselor. As such, I see the counseling relationship as a critical element for change and work to create a warm, safe, and welcoming environment for my clients. I view counseling through a trauma-informed lens since many individuals have been affected by trauma and adverse childhood experiences.

My treatment approach is to help clients gain insight and increase awareness in those areas of their lives that most need attention. Clients learn to identify the unconscious forces holding them back from being all that they are intended to be and to challenge and eventually replace the self-destructive beliefs and messages that have guided their thoughts, feelings and behavior. I help clients find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues.

Fostering social and emotional growth is essential to your child's growth. I strive to implement directive and non-directive play therapy practices to meet the social and emotional needs of toddlers, young children, pre-teens and teens. I work with those who have ADD or ADHD, Autism, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, delays in social skills, peer conflict, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and those who are struggling to adjust or may be searching to find themselves.

Are you having difficulty regulating your emotions? Is anger getting the best of you? Are you struggling at school or work? Maybe you are struggling to maintain or build relationships. Have you experienced a loss or been affected by trauma? Is today the day for change? If so, come and see me and we can work together towards that change that you desire.

In life, there are many things that feel out of our control. The therapeutic process will help you put energy into the things that you can control. This is done by focusing on the counseling relationship, building trust and commitment in the process by being genuine and authentic with clients to help them successfully navigate through challenging situations. In a comfortable and supportive environment, we offer a highly personalized approach made to meet the needs of each individual client and/or family to help them achieve personal growth.

I have a holistic philosophy about therapy which means, I believe that best results from counseling are achieved by exploring clients and how they function in their systems (family, school, work, etc.).
