Christian Therapists in Metairie, LA

Counseling is so much more than a job; it’s a calling. It is the biggest honor to get to sit with you and bear witness to your story. I approach counseling from a Christian worldview, and how much, if at all, we integrate spiritual approaches into our work is completely directed by you, the client.

Currently Accepting Clients. Are you ready to explore the possibility of change in your life? It takes courage to ask for help, and it seems that you have begun that journey. Are you struggling with anxiety, the fear of failure, unexplained sadness, or communication issues? Are you witnessing your teenager struggling in life socially, emotionally, or psychologically? Whether it is you or your teenage loved one, remember, It's okay to not be okay. Speak to a professional. In working together, we can promote growth by understanding the obstacles that you face and develop solutions that more than likely are found within yourself.

I am a Faith Based (Catholic/ Christian ) License Professional Counselor. Certified in Trauma, Grief and Loss that loves working with Adolescents, Couples, Families and Individuals since 2004. I strongly believe that through our life our experiences may leave deep wounds that stop us from being loved by others and giving love to others. Through Therapy, one can begin to process these wounds, as a heart surgeon unclogs the arteries of the heart, and begin to feel like the loving individual that God created us to be and wants us to be

At "Tower of Refuge Christian Counseling, LLC," (located inside of the "New Orleans Growth Center, LLC"), I provide Christian counseling that aids in mental and emotional restoration by assisting my clients in achieving a healthier quality of life, focusing on the mind, spirit and restorative power of Jesus Christ. With the highest levels of client satisfaction - I will do everything that I can to meet your counseling needs by providing therapy in the areas of depression/ anxiety, grief/ loss, stress management, parenting skills, conflict resolution, building healthy coping and communication skills, couples and individual as well as adolescent/ teen counseling.

I enjoy working with adults, families, adolescents, and children. I have worked with issues such as grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, divorce/separation, family issues, coping with life changes, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and bullying. The needs and goals of my clients are to discover personal wellness and empowerment. I also help build a better bond and understanding between parents and their children/adolescents.

Life is hectic, and at times, it can be downright brutal! However, our culture rewards those who "push through" regardless of their circumstances. Before long, you're five miles to empty. You have no energy, you're not sleeping well, you're irritable, depressed, anxious, and at times emotionally detached from everything and everyone. My ideal client is someone who is looking to slow down and drown out the noises stifling their inner voice. Mourning loss, cultivating self-acceptance, creating useful internal dialogue, and establishing boundaries are possible when we choose to stop running on fumes and allow ourselves to be still.

Substance Abuse Assessments only! Virtual only. Recent events have had a major impact on us all. Social isolation, increased tensions, and financial difficulty, everyone seems to be struggling in some way. Alcohol, drugs, and pornography often seem like a good way to escape. Unfortunately, this can result in anxiety, depression, or loss of relationships. I offer a confidential and supportive space to talk with no judgement. I want you to discover what works for you and your journey!

We have a great team of Counselors who understand the importance of personal faith and mental health. We believe that needless cycles are created when we divorce our faith from our counseling.

I have spent my career working in various settings and with different populations and there is one common denominator, hope. We all are hoping for something different in our lives in one area or the next. That hope requires us to change, heal, forgive, let go, or maybe just to jump or simply believe again. The solution is easy because it requires you to just do it. But the "how" do you do it is where I come in. My experiences have prepared me to deal with a variety of issues using an eclectic approach. I have gained an understanding that there is no cookie cutter way. Everyone is unique even if they share similar experiences.

Are you struggling to connect with others? Has the family fighting become too much to bare? Do you have things unprocessed in your story? Have you reached your max capacity for handling daily life? Look no further! Help is here! I create a safe space to process unresolved issues in your story. We all need help from time to time. True bravery is asking for the help and allowing someone to help you, even through the most difficult times in your life. Life is sweeter when you are connected with our community. Don't be afraid to reach out! Don't be afraid to ask for help! You're so worth it!

Hello. Thank you for viewing my profile. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. I believe that for counseling to be successful there has to be a good working relationship between the counselor and client. I know that for someone coming into counseling there can be feelings of vulnerability and fear. I provide a compassionate, caring, nonjudgmental, trusting and peaceful environment in which my clients feel safe to be open and honest. I would love to have the opportunity to walk with you on your journey of personal discovery, change, healing and growth.

My heart is to minister to the hurting with compassion, commitment, and confidentiality. As an experienced licensed professional counselor, I am honored to walk alongside you. I have been in private practice for almost 30 years and work with adults who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, fear, abandonment, grief, betrayal, rejection, or conflict in a relationship. I offer both telephone as well as in-person counseling.

Most of us love a good story. Whether it be in a movie, a book, or someone's personal experience, good stories pull us in, hold our interest, and have an effect on us. Good stories have main characters who are confronted with adversity and find a way to overcome that adversity. These characters must adapt or change in some way in order to overcome and, as a result, they grow. We all have a story; the story of our lives. We are the main characters, and we all experience adversity. Will we allow adversity to victimize us? Will we simply survive? Or will we overcome and thrive? What story do we want to tell with our lives?

Life has a way of throwing us unexpected curve balls, knocking us down, causing unfamiliar emotions, anxiety, intra-personal & interpersonal conflict, & stress. Have you ever asked yourself, how will I balance all of this? Growing through life without a roadmap can be difficult. And just as your car requires monthly maintenance, so does your life.

We all have blind spots, and at some point we need a little help with resetting our vision. Sometimes we have people who will be that mirror for us, but sometimes we don't. Counseling can help you get your refocus back and redirect your path. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families covering a range of issues including but not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma, Premarital, couples counseling, relationship conflict, spiritual issues, grief and post recovery of addiction.

When was the last time you smiled, laughed, lived without fear or felt confident and beautiful? Have you remained at the starting line because of fear and distractions? Many are in a constant state of comparison to others and those insecurities prevent the process of moving forward. If you are single, widowed, separated, divorced and feel depressed, give yourself permission to gain clarity and healing. Allow yourself to live the life you are destined to live! Failing marriages, fear of loving someone again and living with the loss of a loved one are experiences that no one should navigate alone.

Hi there, let me begin by congratulating you on taking the initiative to become an even better you! I can appreciate that reaching out to a therapist may be a bit daunting. However, therapy is a process where you can connect with a compassionate, skilled professional to examine new perspectives, grow, heal, and learn to cope; in a safe, nonjudgmental space. You are beginning this journey with a qualified professional like myself, who will provide you with the tools and skills to be and feel your absolute best. Thank you so much for the opportunity to take this journey with you, I look forward to connecting soon ~Wendy

Emotions tend to be at their root of what concerns us. The fashion we act when our feelings are something we deny generally causes our dominant issues: depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, sadness. With reflection and foundational understanding we can begin growing towards a better life every day.

Whether you are feeling anxiety, depression, grief, women issues, dealing with a family life crisis, or maybe having issues in your relationship, I am here to assist and guide you on your journey towards healing.
