Couples Counseling Therapists in New Orleans, LA

Hi, and congratulations on taking steps to better yourself! If you find yourself trapped in self-destructive cycles, I may be able to help. I view counseling as an authentic but professional relationship , centered around support and understanding, in which we work to build awareness of your underlying motivations in hopes that you will find a greater sense of direction and freedom within your life.

Mental clarity, emotional well-being, and inhabiting your body are birthrights. You claim them. Many of our struggles reflect external transgressions and neglect by others, society, life, or our trauma-clouded time. All readily unbalance us. I approach psychotherapy collaboratively, aiding you in fortifying the rigor and vitality of your overall health. Please invite me to serve you, creating the change you envision.

My approach to counseling is holistic and based on the client's needs. I use methodology from humanistic psychology, person-centered therapy, psychodynamic theory and cognitive behavioral therapy. I help clients identify hidden strengths and discover obstacles to a more meaningful life. I work with the client on building an authentic therapeutic relationship where the client is seen as the expert in her/his own life. I do this in a compassionate, safe, and nonjudgmental process. I am effective in working with people who seek short-term, solution-focused therapy as well as longer-term therapeutic goals.

I believe therapy is a sign of awareness not weakness and if you are looking for therapy for you then you are making a huge step for your personal well being! I have worked with a broad range of clientele for over 20 years now ranging from 5yrs to 70yrs. My specialization is in adolescents, adults, couples , family counseling and addict family systems. I work from a CBT approach and always keep the clients best interest at mind. I put a strong emphasis on client's privacy/ confidentiality. I work with clients as a nonjudgmental friend, teacher and coach

Starting to look for help is difficult; I hope I can assist you in reaching your wellness goals. Counseling is a team effort between client and therapist. Together, we can address a wide range of topics and issues to ultimately achieve a better quality of life for you. I am trained in many types of evidence based therapies, and will utilize a multi- modal approach that will suit you, to get you to where you want to be.

If your child has behavioral problems, I can help. A native of Lafayette, La., I joined the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Center of New Orleans directly following my clinical internship at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, where I trained in child and family therapy at the world-renowned Kennedy Krieger Institute. I completed my doctoral work at LSU, where I studied resilience and personal growth in young people following Hurricane Katrina. I use these skills to help children and families develop positive interactions and better relationship skills. I can also help people of all ages overcome depression and other personal issues.

Hello, I offer two primary areas of evidence based clinical expertise, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Individuals and Couple Therapy for Stress Related Problems to private clients. I take a strategic and evidence based approach to understanding your presenting concerns. I believe in the importance of assessment to track progress while working to achieve personal and relational goals and to enhance overall satisfaction and quality of life. I am transparent, forward and supportive during all stages of treatment beginning with assessment & recommendations, pre-treatment planning & education, & effective therapeutic intervention.

Our work together will facilitate your being in the present moment, not stuck in the past or concerned about the future. Incidents from your past can be "desensitized", allowing your attention to come into the present, giving you more energy and the ability to concentrate. The clinical name for this work is EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which is the treatment of choice for those afflicted with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).We will use Art to communicate and express deep feelings. Children respond well to this type of treatment.

INDIVIDUALS: Do you have a difficult life transition or put the needs of others before yourself? Pattern of toxic relationships and dysfunctional family dynamics? COUPLES : Do you desire to enhance communication, intimacy and connection? Repair trust after an infidelity or solve perpetual problems about money/work stress? FAMILIES: Do you want to negotiate conflict between family members more effectively and create healthy boundaries after complex events?

This is a beginning; change is difficult. It's strength, not weakness, to seek help and make changes. Learning how to see our behaviors from a different perspective is valuable. Healing often comes through verbalizing our feelings. You will feel heard, respected, validated, receive constructive feedback and gain greater insight and understanding in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I focus on your strengths as a means to help facilitate change and promote independence. I am a very down-to-earth person and I am often told by my clients that it's easy to talk and relate to me.
