Child Therapists in Shreveport, LA
Having worked with many families, I developed a keen insight into parent- child relationships, navigating the tween years, and launching young adults into the real world.
Initial sessions involve gathering information and listening to what brought the individual, family, or couple to therapy. I often use solution-focused brief therapy, which is a short-term, goal-oriented approach to psychotherapy that focuses on the client's strengths and resources to help them achieve their desired future outcomes.

However, it is also the therapist's style and ability, working collaboratively with clients, to identify these difficulties and plan a course of care in a safe and confidential environment that is equally essential. I have over 25 years experience
