In Person Therapists in Bay Saint Louis, MS

You feel that you are at wits end and you have tried everything you could. I am assuming this is your last stop before giving up. I urge you to give it one more go, at LHC. LHC is a veteran, African American and Woman Owned practice. that offers marriage counseling and sex therapy for adults and also marriage intensives. We now also offer therapy for children and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, body issues and hardships in their family, school and other relationships.

Sometimes we just need guidance during transitions in our lives, whether it be relationship issues, parenting or family changes. Are you going through a separation/divorce, or going through a personal crisis? Do you feel overwhelmed and need help finding your way?

If you are tired of dealing with the same thing over and over again, then counseling can create long lasting change that you're craving. Imagine a life where you have peace in yourself and in your relationships. Whether it is anxiety, depression, PTSD or relationship problems, these are all symptoms of a deeper issue that counseling can help get to the root of. Expect to gain relief, develop new skills, increase self-awareness and develop positive belief systems that will transform you and your relationships.

Find your resonance. You may be struggling with depression, stress, relationships, or going through a difficult time. You might need to participate in therapy, gain a new perspective on things, or just have someone objective to talk to. I accept each person as an individual and I work with you to find methods that will best benefit your needs. My goal is to help you develop the skills to get through life's difficulties and lead a happier life! I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, some Dialectical Behavior Therapy as well as drawing from other therapies as needed.

The scope of my therapy practice is based on the belief that children are growing, developing individuals who at times need assistance beyond their families and school structures to develop emotional and social skills, self confidence, and coping skills to handle stressors. Children are often more open than adults to change and I absolutely love getting to see them transform and grow. I work with children and adolescents ages 4 to 18.

I help people work through anxiety and traumatic events they have experienced in life. Some have been in the battlefield of war, many have been in the battlefield of their own home. The very place where safety and nurturing were expected became the source of fear and confusion. Some can't really remember trauma, they have just always known this sense of dread and excessive worry. My mission is to create an accepting and supportive environment that helps you recognize patterns in your life that maintain your distress and find new thoughts and actions that will bring you the freedom to become the best version of yourself.

I believe in the value and efficacy of psychotherapy. It is time for humanity to move beyond the stigma associated with mental health and take advantage of the art and science that is psychotherapy. You do not need to suffer needlessly or alone. There is hope!

There is no handbook for life and you’re doing the best you can. Sometimes you just need a helping hand. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience who would love to help you develop the skills and confidence to live your best life.

I offer short-term, solution-focused therapy. My clients are successful people whom I respect and admire. Like in other areas of their lives when an issue occurs, they want answers and a course of action. Providing for others, they have often put aside their own needs. Their work and personal relationships are intertwined. Talking about how to move forward can be a timeout when one can determine the next steps. Hearing yourself talk aloud about what has been on your mind and heart may give clarity in differentiating between want and need. I encourage clients to gift themselves with time aside.
