Adoption Therapists in Louisiana

I view counseling as a collaborative relationship between the client and the counselor. This collaborative relationship allows the client and therapist to work together to address issues the client is facing through the development of mutually agreed upon clinical and personal goals. During therapy, I focus on patterns of thoughts, behaviors, moods, and communication that may contribute to client distress. I often address these issues utilizing Person-Centered, Systems, Cogitative Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (evidenced-based therapeutic practices).

Your insurance will list me as John (Douglas) Leyda and my direct number is 225-610-4750................... When life seems a bit too much, it is time for a healthier balance.

I believe good mental health is a part of your overall health and wellness. Imagine carrying a back pack that is heavy with loss, sadness, anger, guilt, stress, depression, anxiety or any other difficult emotion in response to your life. It may seem unbearable. When problems accumulate, stress can seem insurmountable. My career as a professor of Clinical Mental Health professionals and years of experience in helping others serves to help clients manage those overwhelming issues. My personal goal is to assist you by offering therapeutic interventions that will help you lighten your back pack. Therapy can be life changing.

Sometimes you know what the issue is and you need to find the right person to support you in making change. Other times you need support to help you identify what needs to change.

We can work together to implement change in your thought patterns or behaviors in order to reduce distress and improve your quality of life. And life feels pretty hard now. Everyone could use some extra support.
