Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Denham Springs, LA

It takes tremendous courage and strength to start a journey of self reflection and change. On the road of self-discovery, I believe you, as the client, are the expert on yourself. It is my role a counselor to help you find the way to your goals. I strive to create a warm, safe, and encouraging environment for you to use as your workspace. The treatment areas I focus on are depression, anxiety, self-esteem, family issues, social skills, and etc. No problem is too small to seek assistance with.

The counseling relationship is a professional, working relationship. Building a successful counseling relationship takes work and dedication from the client as well as the clinician. It is my aim to be able to first establish rapport with you, which will serve as the foundation for us to build from. From there we can begin to work on identifying your present problems as well as defining your goals for counseling. I look forward to working with you!

I have experience working with adults, adolescents, young children, couples, and families. I focus on a variety of areas including anxiety, PTSD, depression, grief, relationship issues, family conflict, parenting and anger management classes and more. For me, the main goal of counseling is for the client to discover what is important in their life as an individual and to focus on self-improvement.

I am passionate about helping children, teenagers, and young adults navigate the transitions they face, overcome traumas as soon as possible, and enter into healthy relationships. I believe in educating young women on how to avoid abusive relationships and focus on healthy ones. I love helping young men discover their own meaning behind "being a man." I am passionate about helping angry teenagers manage the fear and sadness that create their rage. And no matter how challenging, I consider it a privilege to help people overcome the traumas they have experienced, and to witness the transformation of pain to meaning and purpose.

I hold space for each client no matter their background, gender, size, age, race, religion, income, career, culture, sexual orientation, abilities, or disabilities.

Many individuals have struggled, currently struggle, or will struggle with a mental health-related issue. I strive to reduce the stigma in society that often appears when discussing mental health concerns and seeking services. Sometimes just asking for help is the hardest part. Each client deserves a collaborative, accepting environment to discuss goals, growth, empowerment, change, and overall satisfaction with their day-to-day lives. I welcome the opportunity to help others forge a fulfilling future.

Have you ever endearingly called yourself a "hot mess?" Do you love Jesus but you curse a little? If you don't know where you want to go but you're sure you can't stay where you're at: welcome. With me, you'll find no judgement, plenty of laughs (both with you and at you) and the GPS you've been looking for on this crazy journey. It's time to slip into the drivers seat and find the best route to the life you've always wanted.

Welcome to Kimbrough Therapy Services. Therapy is a place to identify and build on current strengths, learn problem solving strategies, develop or enhance coping skills, learn more effective ways to communicate with others, and receive support and feedback. My goal is to provide a comfortable and supportive environment conducive to insight, healing, and personal growth. Your role will be to identify goals that you would like to achieve during the course of therapy and be willing to examine any obstacles and strengths that will either hinder or help you move forward.

I view counseling as a collaborative relationship in which the client and I work together to explore the current problematic issues and develop goals to address these issues. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, adjustment to life issues, and communication and relationships. I work with adults, children (play therapy), teens, couples, and families of all backgrounds. Additionally, I work within your spiritual beliefs to address your issues according to your values. I believe that change occurs through the development of a collaborative working relationship and through changing negative thoughts and behaviors that affect changes in mood.

I am interested in helping you through life’s struggles with the counseling you need. Whether you are dealing with stress laden situations at home or work, anxiety, depression, grief, marriage problems, family issues, parenting, addictions, bi-polar disorder, or worries about this stressful economy, I am here to provide the help you need. I am a Christian therapist so I believe in incorporating a person's personal faith in the counseling process. Growing closer to God is important no matter what your situation or problem might be.

Are you struggling with life's curve balls? Is your child or teenager angry, defiant, stressed, or depressed? Is your relationship an emotional roller-coaster? Are you looking for better ways to co-parent? If so, we will work together to find a solution that meets your needs!

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, and I have supported clients grappling with a variety of struggles. My areas of focus include trauma, anxiety, depression, coping with breakups, grief, and loss. I often view clients through a trauma-informed lens, which means I believe our past traumatic experiences can shape the way we operate in the present.

I see counseling as a process in which the Client and I, the PLPC, will build a therapeutic relationship based on understanding and trust. Seeking counseling is the first step in the right direction towards happiness and personal freedom. I would love to assist and guide you through the next steps towards positive changes.

In today's world, there has been a growing trend of being more focused on perfection, often to the point of harsh self-criticism. We are expected to say yes to every request all while feeling overburdened and without a voice. As a result, we get so caught up in our lives that we forget, or have never learned how to set healthy boundaries which can lead to the fall of our self-worth. My focus is working with clients ages 12 to adult struggling with issues such as burnout in our personal and professional life, difficulty with communication skills, and practicing self compassion. Life is more complex than a diagnosis.

Helping and problem solving are my passion. I became a Social Worker so I could do just that. My goal is to work with my clients as a team so together we can tackle whatever issues they want to work on. I specialize in anxiety disorders, adolescents and young adults, working with parents and children on behavioral problems, ADHD, family communication issues, depression, and more.

Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, depressed or just tired all the time? Are you struggling with behaviors, habits, or addictions that feel unmanageable? Do you have a history of unresolved hurts or traumatic memories? Are you struggling with your marriage or children? Do you long for a place where you can let yourself unravel, let the "real you" show, and be heard and supported right where you are? If any of things resonate with you, then I want to help you.

I have provided therapy for both children and adults and can honestly say I enjoy working with all ages in various stages of life. I believe that anyone can gain knowledge through their experience in an optimistic way in a warm, supportive, therapeutic environment. When facing challenges and struggles, you do not need to feel alone; it can be very advantageous to have someone by your side who is nonjudgmental, understanding, and compassionate. Taking the opportunity to seek out help is not a sign of weakness; it is an admirable attempt to try to live a more fulfilling life for yourself and demonstrate a great deal of strength!
