EMDR Therapists in Louisiana

Sometimes we just need a band-aid to get us through a rough patch, and other times a deeper dive into long-standing patterns and struggles is the right focus - both are valid approaches! Choosing the right therapist is an important step, so let's chat about questions you might have and make sure you get the right fit. I work with individuals, couples, and children, and from time to time I also offer group workshops. I have specialized training in EMDR , Play Therapy, and have over a decade of clinical experience. I am currently an LPC Board-approved clinical supervisor as well as an adjunct professor in Loyola's Counseling program.

In this increasingly wacky world, life can happen in a way that doesn't always seem to work. Change may be scary, leaving you feeling lost without a roadmap. I work to create a safe, supportive environment, free from judgment so you can show up and put whatever you're thinking and feeling on the table. We navigate together - exploring and sorting out your strengths and inner dialogue to harness your power (it's in there!). My goal is to help you reduce feelings of stress, sadness, and confusion, open your mind to possibilities, and give you concrete, practical new tools and strategies to get you back on your best path.

Are you a mother-to-be, a new mom, or navigating the ever-changing landscape of parenthood? As an experienced therapist, doula, and childbirth educator, I am here to support and empower you through these transformative moments in your life. As a prenatal or postpartum mother, you may be facing a range of emotions, concerns, or challenges, such as Perinatal Mood and Anxiety disorders, traumatic birth, adjusting to your new role, or processing past traumas. As a licensed mental health therapist with specialized training in these areas, my mission is to provide compassionate, effective care tailored to your unique needs and goals.

I know it can be difficult to choose counseling. In a non-judgmental and caring environment, I work with persons to shine a light into emotional triggers and self-sabotaging beliefs that limit possibilities and goals. I have experience working with depression and anxiety, including those who worry constantly and those with phobias. Working with past traumas and negative experiences has turned out to be my specialty. Some examples are those with a history of abuse (sexual, physical, emotional) childhood, relational, and bullying victims. Past trauma and memories can continue to haunt our today. Be the hero, choose freedom.

Are you desiring a healthy life? Do your needs include coping skills, processing traumatic events, and moving beyond depression, anxiety, and fear? Is your goal living a life unaffected by mental health challenges? Is your desire to improve your life? If so, you're in the right place!

Hello! I am deeply passionate about helping people heal from trauma, addiction (porn addiction, sex addiction, sexual shame and trauma), financial/work disorders, infidelity, abuse/neglect, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, and depression. I believe that understanding and processing the roots of your trauma, which led to unhealthy and unwanted patterns, allows for holistic healing. This involves healing in four core areas: emotional, spiritual, physical, and relational. My hope is to help you reconnect with your heart, God, and with those whom you love the most.

People "SEEK" therapy because they NEED change; changes in life circumstances, or in how they see things, think, feel, or behave… and sometimes, it’s ALL of these. They need a psychotherapist who will make a firm commitment to effecting whatever these changes need to be. By applying skilled and thorough assessment techniques to understand just how the discontentment is maintaining itself, then applying research-proven techniques to undo these present processes and create new ones. Unhappiness, pain, and suffering need to be alleviated and transformed into feeling well, contented, and in charge of your life and how you experience it.

Greetings, I am a psychotherapist who specializes in Trauma and Sex Therapy. My goal is to support you holistically working together to create a space of healing. Most of us experience some type of negative life event as we move throughout our lives. Events that are not fully processed may show up as increased anxiety, anger, depression, or unpleasant sensations in our bodies. I also work with individuals who have toxic shame. As a Sex Therapist, I work with individuals who want to explore and broaden their own sexuality and those with sexual concerns, sexual dysfunction, sexual pain and desire discrepancies.

I have years of experience working with young adults, parents/families, and educators to navigate the unique challenges each of these experiences can bring. I support clients in navigating life transitions, identity development, values clarity, emotion regulation, and shame resilience. I also work with clients on attachment-related relationship dynamics and challenges that stem from early childhood or other attachment injuries. By connecting in a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space, clients are able to explore their internal worlds and gain clarity as well as a renewed sense of empowerment in their lives.

I am an accomplished psychotherapist with over 30 years of clinical experience. Also I am "certified" in family therapy, having obtained a post-masters degree in that field. Finally I am certified in EMDR , Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems therapy which I use extensively to treat trauma, phobias,and self-sabotaging behavior and thinking. In addition to operating my own private practice in Pennsylvania until 2015, I was full time faculty at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center for 19 years and clinical faculty at the University of Pittsburgh and Penn State Medical schools for 10 years.

Trauma informed care that encompasses the mind, body, and soul. This is what I offer the women that I work with. By using modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR ), neuroscience (Neurofeedback), evidence based interventions (CBT, Mindfulness, Systems Theory, etc.), and Soul Realignment, my clients heal from past traumas, build up their self-esteem, and step into their inner authority to change their lives. If you are ready to gain control of your anxiety, stress, depression, and overall well-being, let's work together!

I have ten years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I also train master's and doctoral level student therapists at a local university to help clients confront any life challenges. Throughout my career, I have never met a truly "broken" person incapable of making positive changes, and I work collaboratively with my clients to resolve their unique issues. I intentionally keep a small practice to provide clients with dedicated and individualized attention. I return voicemail messages within 24 hours.

I have experience working with clients of ages 7 and up and provide counseling to couples, individuals, and families experiencing relationship difficulties, grief, loss, trauma, depression, anxiety, phase of life problems, anger, and those seeking better ways to handle life's difficulties. I work with motivated clients who are looking to change their current situations and improve the quality of their life.

I am passionate about helping people overcome histories of trauma and cycles of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. I work best with clients who deal with C-PTSD, PTSD, anxiety, stress, and grief. I am eager to help my clients understand the impact trauma can have on their nervous system as well as learn how to regulate their nervous system through emotion-focused and somatic interventions.

If you are looking to make changes in your life, let's work together. I am a Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) Therapist. Additionally, I am trained in Brainspotting. I work with individuals who have a desire and need to resolve past trauma. This is often the gateway to experiencing a healthier and happier you. As a licensed clinical social worker, my primary goal is to foster a safe and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard and seen. I hope to support you in finding contentment and peace.

I am a therapist who specializes in trauma, grief, addiction, codependency, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and self-compassion. It takes such courage to reach out for help, and I want to make this experience as safe, non-judgmental and empowering for you as possible. If you feel stuck or lost in the same maladaptive, dysfunctional patterns, perhaps together we can foster a relationship for growth. Perhaps Cheryl Strayed said it best, “I’d finally come to understand what it had been: a yearning for a way out, when actually what I had wanted to find was a way in."

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: As a counselor, I seek to walk alongside you, offering a warm and non-judgmental environment; with an emphasis on the mind, body, and spirit. I utilize innovative, holistic, and evidence-based practices to create a personalized plan of recovery for each client that supports self-discovery strengthens inner wisdom, and restores a sense of balance. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing atmosphere in which individuals can be supported in their efforts to change. I am committed to providing the highest quality of care to promote your healing and growth. (Email: bodymindandspirit@cox.net)

Get your life back! Become the person you were made to be and finally live the life you’ve always dreamed of. Hi my name is Beau and I provide individual therapy for adult men and women and IFS Informed EMDR Consultations for Therapists. I know what it’s like to struggle. Early on in my life I struggled with anxiety and not fitting in. At some point, I began using drugs as a way to escape and lived a very unhealthy and unhappy lifestyle until I hit bottom. I turned my life around by getting help with a therapist (a very special person that held space for me and understood my pain without judging me).

Are you struggling to make sense of the changes you are currently facing? Maybe you've lost an important relationship or a loved one? Have you been turning to food or substances to cope? When working with you, I will take an individualized approach that takes into consideration your beliefs and values. I work to meet my clients where they are in their healing process, while respecting and supporting them. I can provide you the space you need to process your pain and also teach you skills to help move through your process gracefully.
