Men's Issues Therapists in Lafayette, LA

Relationships are the building blocks of our mental health, and healing relationships is not something that we can do alone many times. The client is always the only one who can make changes, I am here to help guide you on that journey. Together we can help to heal the relationships in your life, including marital, family, and other intimate relationships. I also work with disaffected young men, those who possibly grew up without a father, who would like to learn to engage with their role in relationships, or wants to explore their direction in life.

My ideal client is someone trying to stabilize in recovery from an addiction, whether that be personal stability or within their relationships with family members. I also offer pastoral counseling as an ordained minister to individuals or couples seeking a deeper healing through their relationship w God.

Hi. Therapy isn't easy work but it's achievable if you'd like to develop healthier patterns for living. If you are struggling with family, co-workers, your spouse, we may be able to enhance your skills so you can wear your smile again. Are you saddened too much of the time? Angered by those you love? Retaliating unacceptably? Feeling undervalued while believing you do the best you can? Feeling lost and vulnerable in a hectic world? We may be able to identify behaviors, feelings which identify your "core," bringing them to the surface in a way which is comfortable.

Feeling stuck and lost can often cause significant distress, even leading to anxiety, depression and panic attacks. Counseling can help you navigate those blocks in your relationships, career, and personal life and relieve the distress you feel. It may help you make decisions, find success and discover meaning. Counseling may help you take the leap, mend marital conflicts and heal old wounds. I help couples, families and individuals resolve conflicts, break old habits, and try on new ones.

Is sexual and emotional connection at the top of your priority list in your relationship? Are you and your partner looking for ways to connect with one another or re-ignite the spark you once had? Do you look in the mirror and struggle with the reflection you see looking back? Are you ready to break old patterns and find joy and acceptance in your life and build the steamy relationship that you always desired with your partner?

Struggling to deal with a life filled with anxiety, depression, stressful relationships, or having difficulties coping with life after traumatic events? Are you having difficulties finding meaning and motivation? Having personally experienced major life changing events, I believe there are numerous paths to your personal recovery. With over 20 years of experience in the field, I know that where there is life there is hope. It's not too late to start living again.

Are you suffering from the emotional burden that comes with stress, trauma, and unhealthy mental habits? I use evidenced-based techniques like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (which utilizes bilateral stimulation) to heal unprocessed trauma and negative conditioning. Inner communications between emotions, the brain, and the body become blocked or separated when unprocessed trauma is stored. Once this natural inner communication is restored, releases and healings happens rapidly, often automatically. I am the only Licensed Mental Health Professional in La who is a Certified Acceptance and Integration Training (AAIT) Practitioner.

Are you ready to feel like yourself again? At Worth Counseling Group, we are trauma informed, holistic counselors that focus on the mind-body connection.

Working with you as a client, I place the most importance on building and developing a secure and caring relationship. My ultimate goal in life is to be of service to individuals and families as much as possible. Life is meant to be lived in harmony. There will always be difficult times, but my hope is for us to build resilience and a life of wellness. Whether you want help for yourself, you & your partner, or your child, I invite you to reach out. My passion is helping, and my joy is sharing that with you.

Do you feel connected to yourself, your relationships, and your life? My work focuses on connection: to yourself & everything around you. I bring an experiential element to therapy sessions that focuses on trauma-informed care & nervous system regulation. You can’t only rely on your logical brain to navigate your healing. I teach my clients to do this by bringing to the surface and working with parts of the self that have been repressed, rejected, judged, and/or hidden. I also work with people on understanding and managing their attachment styles & relationships.

Life can be hard. Choosing a counselor doesn't have to be. We are professional and clinical, with a comfortable and compassionate approach.

Sometimes asking for help can be one of the hardest things we do. We tend to think that asking for help somehow makes us weak, but if you really think about it, it takes bravery to reach out to those around us when we are vulnerable. Asking for support can help us create better results, grow as a person, and learn more about ourselves.

Would you like to learn how to overcome the internal critic that keeps you from experiencing your best self? There are ways of unlocking your potential. Whether overcoming depression, anxiety, or other emotional or psychological problems, you are worthy of a better life. Many people are "stuck" due to traumas whether large or small that occur at any point in life. Therapy can give you an opportunity to live free from these constraints.

I am a mental health professional with experience working in various settings; to include: residential addiction, correctional, community, and school based agencies. Those experiences have been rewarding in the opportunities they have provided for me to facilitate and witness client growth. My view of the therapeutic relationship is that of a process in which the client and the therapist build a therapeutic alliance to: explore and identify areas for improvement, develop goals, and work together realizing those goals and optimizing quality of life.

I approach counseling with a profound belief that a trusting relationship between you and I is the foundation for growth, healing and change. My priority is to create a safe and welcoming environment that supports personal growth through understanding, collaboration and meaningful goal-setting.

Hi there! I'm Kristen, and my interest is people. I love getting to know about other's passions, feelings, attitudes, and ideas. And that's exactly what brought me to therapy! I get excited when others are looking to explore their own lives for ways to improve, no matter how small. I work well with clients who ruminate and tend to get caught in the vicious cycles of depression and anxiety by examining daily behaviors and thoughts. I like to be direct to maximize productivity in our time together, but will always treat you with the respect and compassion we all deserve. I'm always open to collaboration, feedback, and creativity.

“Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your spirit...that is the real meaning of peace." Author Unknown…..….I embrace people with compassion and acceptance, because I understand struggling and know what it feels like to need someone to listen and support you, without judgment.
