Therapists in New Orleans, LA

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples, addressing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, family issues, relationships, self-esteem, anger management, ADHD, personality disorder, behavioral challenges, etc. I have 16 years of experience providing intensive outpatient counseling to individuals and groups. I strongly believe that counseling is a partnership between the therapist and the client, designed to arrive at the needed objectives and goals. Whereas the therapist has skills and training, the client is always the expert on themselves and their families. Only through working together with regard for the dignity and worth of each individual can challenges be alleviated and strengths enhanced.

Hello, my name is Wesley Errington and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been working professionally since 2017 and have worked with a vast and diverse population ranging from children, adults, families, and couples. I currently work as a Mental Health Counselor at Southeastern Louisiana University where I work with the college age population. My ideal client is one that is seeking mental health growth through healing, exploration, and learning more of themselves and the role mental health has on their lives.

I see counseling as a collaborative and dynamic process in which you and I come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define the present problem, situations, and concerns, develop future goals for an improved life, and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals. I focus on child and adolescent clients with social and anger management concerns, among other issues and concerns. Although it is my preference to work with child and adolescent clients, I enjoy working with adults throughout the life span.

I help clients get unstuck, overcome challenges, navigate difficult life transitions, achieve victory over addictive behaviors, and eliminate beliefs that distort their identity. You can gain control over emotional reactions. You can experience freedom from trauma responses. You can improve your relationships. You can learn to implement strategies and achieve goals. I became a counselor because of the freedom I received, and I want to help you experience the same freedom. This can be real for you, and I'd love to show you how you can get unstuck without more exhaustion or toxic wishful thinking. You can do this, and I can help you.

My practice offers individual, family, and couples therapy to adult and young adult clients. This is a safe, nonjudgmental, and inclusive space for clients of all racial, ethnic, cultural, religious, sexual, and economic backgrounds. I treat a variety of presenting issues including couples/marriage concerns, infidelity, trauma, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, addictive disorders, life and role transitions, parenting, and grief/loss. Couples will benefit from an approach grounded in Gottman Method (Level-2) with additional training in treatment of trauma and infidelity. Thank you in advance for trusting me with your care.

For over 40 + years I have been an advocate for children and families in need of mental health services. It has been gratifying to provide a milieu of services that has effectively met the needs of my clients. The knowledge I have acquired has been recognized by the Office of Juvenile Justice, Department of Children and Family Services, and Family Roads as a sound clinical practice. I have successfully implemented Parenting and Fathering Models which have had a micro and macro impact on service delivery in Louisiana.
