Therapists in Marlyville-Fontainebleau, New Orleans, LA

Therapy can be a powerful way to achieving happiness, acceptance and greater life satisfaction. As a trauma therapist, I approach each client and couple with compassion, empathy and value the unique life experience of my clients. Sessions honor each person's needs and comforts, helps the individual understand, gain insight and work through issues. I draw from psychodynamic, attachment, and holistic somatic therapies. Coming from a strengths based perspective and fostering resilience are important parts of my practice. I hope clients can expand on what's already working and learn the skills necessary to get meet their goals!

Originally licensed and in successful private practice in California, I was licensed as an LMFT in Louisiana in 2002, when I moved to NOLA. I have over twenty years of clinical experience working with individual adults, families, and couples. My treatment orientation is based on sound research and includes cognitive-behavioral, experiential, neuroscience, Somatic Experiencing, and somatic mindfulness, I enjoy helping clients develop healthy skills to cope with life's challenges. I am skilled at treating a variety of issues including: anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and anger management.

I treat folks with anxiety and depression, relationship issues, those in crisis due to major changes in their lives, and loss and grief issues. An ideal client is one who is willing to explore and challenge their negative thought patterns to improve their quality of life and develop self-compassion.

I am a LCSW with over 10 years of experiencing working with adults experiencing a range of struggles including depression, anxiety, psychosis, substance misuse, and trauma. I use a strengths-based, humanistic, cognitive-behavior approach in working with clients to help them reach their goals in life.

HELPING THE HELPERS | My practice is open to all but is particularly focussed on providing support and facilitating personal growth among helping professionals, including educators, social workers, therapists and healthcare providers of all kinds. Together we team up to bring the intuitive and emotional skills you use every day in the service of others, to address the internal and external obstacles holding you back from being your best self and living your best life.

I have been in private practice at the same location over thirty years. I describe my therapeutic perspective as Solution-Focused, Insight-Oriented psychotherapy. My practice is general psychotherapy, but I use Hypnosis when clients consent to, or request this technique. I use hypnosis with clients presenting with various issues. It has been a useful tool. Most clients report leaving the session feeling more relaxed and report positive changes throughout treatment.

I have enjoyed my work with people and know the importance of creating a safe place to delve into troubling issues. You may be experiencing a life transistion, problems in relationships, or struggling with mood disorders, or addiction, I have had training and 25 years of experience working in these areas. I consider it a privilege to help people and will work with you to establish better outcomes.

Currently in private practice in both Louisiana and Rhode Island, I offer individual therapy and psychological assessment to adults. Whether you have a problem to solve, goals to achieve or need emotional support, therapy can offer a safe space for an individual to disclose information and receive supportive, non-judgmental feedback, while learning skills to improve yourself. I am best suited to help you with mood difficulties, such as depression; self-esteem and identity problems; stress and anxiety; substance abuse problems; employment struggles; and relationship problems.

My practice is based on optimal emotional health and wellness. I have experience working with persons coping with life transitions. My practice is tailor made for your individual needs to help you reach your optimal potential. This is a collaborative relationship whereby you and I work together.

Hi, I’m Eric. I believe the foundation of helpful therapy is a trusting and supportive relationship. I provide a safe and compassionate space where clients are encouraged to gain self-awareness, while honoring the strengths and values each person brings with them. A process of exploration into your own experience - of thought, emotion, sensation, and behavior - can empower a greater ability to make conscious, creative choices toward personally meaningful change for a more fulfilling life. Gradually, this process can transform the way you relate to yourself, others, and the world.

My approach to therapy is psychodynamic. I view the therapuetic process as a collaborative and empathic relationship of communication, exploration, reflection and insight. I believe it is the therapuetic relationship itself that is most important in creating the conditions for the deep exploratory work of psychotherapy and the possibility of change. The three goals of therapy are understanding, acceptance and change, where one is now, and what one is ready for could differ over time. We will begin where ever you are, clarify issues and establish goals. I hope I have an opportunity to meet and work with you.

The relationship you develop with your therapist is at the heart of the therapeutic work. I believe that through a strong working relationship and scientifically-supported therapeutic approaches, therapy can be a safe and productive space to address a wide array of difficulties emerging across the life span. I offer individual and group therapies and partner with my clients to create and bolster coping skills while highlighting their strengths in order to navigate life's unique challenges.

Change takes effort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you make that change. CBT is like finding a map to a more ideal life and learning that life is much closer than you had thought. This form of therapy teaches you how to change your thinking, with an initial focus on improving the here-and-now with smaller focus on the past. Practice is essential and CBT involves work, but that work often yields results. CBT can help improve mood, reduce anxiety and fears, change unhelpful behaviors, make relationships better, and lead to a richer, more satisfying life.

I believe counseling is a holistic, healing and empowering process. There are many times throughout our lives when we get stuck in transitions, feelings, or in our own mind. Counseling helps us get comfortable within ourselves. It creates self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-compassion which in turn changes our perspective as we walk through our daily life.

Welcome to the first steps of your journey to a new, fulfilled & happier life experience. I am honored to work with you to help you achieve your highest potential & to assist you in making positive changes. Life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured. While using the power of your own mind, you can make changes that are lasting & permanent. Hypnosis uses the power of your mind to make those changes. Together, we will work through the problems & develop coping skills to handle life's difficulties. From abuse to stress reduction & much, much more, therapy is the ticket to natural healing & growth.

I believe that everyone has the potential to heal and create satisfying lives for themselves. You're probably interested in starting therapy because you want to make changes in your life and in how you feel, and I consider it my job to facilitate the changes you’re looking for. My clients describe me as warm, accepting, and honest. I believe that the quality of the relationship between us will make a big difference the success of your therapy and want to embody respect and caring.

I am doing what I was born to do! My specialization, marriage and family therapy, is also my passion. I help couples and individuals to get to what is breaking their hearts in their relationships and to create a plan to make the gradual changes that are needed to have the ROCK Solid relationships they desire. Through the use of therapeutic interventions designed to teach the nature of "real" listening, assertiveness, anger insight and other skills needed to communicate effectively, I teach you to confront without offending, argue resolutely and express yourself successfully in order to get your needs met.

Many people struggle with stress, worries, life changes, or relationship difficulties, but don't have to the skills or support needed to handle them in a healthy way. Counseling is simply a time for personal reflection with a professional who can help guide you towards positive growth and change. During counseling sessions, I will help you explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and supportive environment, providing you the insight and awareness needed to move forward, instead of feeling stuck or helpless. You don't have to go through life's difficult situations alone!
