Therapists in Pascagoula, MS

Life is a journey and sometimes we struggle with its trials. I offer a holistic approach to counseling and help adults, children, teens, families, and couples. If you or a love one is struggling with depression, ADHD, anxiety, marriage difficulties, addictions, Domestic Violence (verbal, physical, financial, and emotional abuse), family or friends that are abusive, grief and loss, self-esteem problems, divorce, spirituality, and parenting difficulties there is hope at: Counsel For Hope.

The need to have someone walking along beside you, helping to guide you to a healthier version of yourself? Helping the client understand what they want and need to be healthier and happier is the goal. We spend most of our lives learning a trade or profession, but often neglect learning healthy relationship skills. Healthy relationships are the biggest indicator of a fulfilling and enjoyable life. We will work together to put more tools in your toolbox, moving you toward healthier relationships and a positive outlook on life.

I believe the bravest thing we can do is embrace our true authentic self. Unfortunately, most of us have difficulty pushing through the negative messages that scream "YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN YOUR WORST CHOICE." We get stuck in our current experience as we wrestle with our fears, difficulty in our relationships and facing the grief of loss, convincing ourselves we do not deserve anything better than we can see right in front of us. I have a passion to help others find their authentic self and explore the barriers that may hinder them from expressing the powerful version of themselves that they long to embrace.

I think it's important to approach therapy with an open mind. I don't have expectations of clients other than they need and are seeking help. I have a wide variety of skills and don't know what I can help you with until we discuss the issue. At the first session we decide together if our relationship will be effective in helping you solve your problem.

NOTE: NO insurances are being accepted at this time! Are you feeling overwhelmed? Feeling stuck? Are you feeling broken and ready to start your healing journey? Help is here. It’s time to transform your mind and your life by learning emotional health and wellness principles. I am passionate about helping people live emotionally healthy, whole, and free.

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!

My goal is to assist clients who are experiencing life changes, whether these are personal, family or employment, or even health related. I have been helping individuals, families, and groups for the last 18 years in a variety of settings. Life can become extremely complicated and at times, it may be necessary to reach out for help and guidance. All of us deserve a rewarding, productive, and positive life but at times struggle to reach this objective. My aim is to help my clients rediscover the power and self confidence that they have within them and enjoy their life to the fullest again.

I am an In-Network provider with BlueCross BlueShield (MS and AHS), United Healthcare/Optum, and Aetna. I offer both in-office and virtual counseling services in a live video format.

Sometimes in life we can get stuck and need a little help getting back on track. My goal is to help you work on the issues you've identified as being what gets in the way of your life being the way you want it to be. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, family/relational issues, or addictive issues, I am here to help. I continually work to expand competencies in the issues above plus men's issues in the 21st Century.

I understand that seeking mental health therapy can be difficult, but I want to provide you with an open canvas to be yourself. I am an eclectic therapist and will use several modalities to help you reach your goals

I have a passion to teach individuals how to walk in their truth! In the process, I guide and encourage that cultivation through my compassion and multifaceted skill set. I have spent many years working with individuals and their families with addressing a multitude of concerns that led to problematic behavior that created functional dysfunction. My primary goal is to assist with them having awareness, acceptance, and then taking action with making what was once uncomfortable, comfortable; which is where the truth and the living begins.

Life can be hard sometimes. We experience things that are often difficult to put into words and shoulder burdens that are much too heavy to bear alone. I want to make the process of counseling approachable and meaningful. Counseling can be thought-provoking, enlightening, and even fun. It is a time for laughing, a time for crying, and a time for expression and reflection. Above all, counseling sessions are YOUR time for which I pledge my undivided attention. You can dump the “pieces of the puzzle” out on the table, and we can figure this out together.

There are many reasons why someone may find themselves seeking a better way to engage with life. Maybe stress is feeling overwhelming and the strategies you have used in the past just aren't cutting it anymore. Maybe you find yourself in the throes of addiction and struggling with breaking the addictive cycle that keeps you from finding that better way. Because you are seeking, you have strength within you that is important to be recognized. People that find me during their search are typically those that find themselves in the aforementioned struggles and need support recognizing their strength to overcome their challenges.

As a licensed therapist who has a passion for helping people from all ages and walks of life, I approach counseling in a holistic manner: mental, emotional, relational, spiritual and physical. The method of counseling that I practice is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy techniques and also applying Biblical principles.

Colby is passionate about life and about helping others to discover that same passion. He recognizes that we all go through life experiences that shape and form us into who we are today. Through those experiences, we can become stuck, discouraged, overwhelmed, feeling helpless, and hopeless. This can keep us from being able to maximize our happiness and joy. Colby uses a combination of therapy modalities to help us understand why we are the way we are, come to accept who we are, and then challenge ourselves to become our best self through intrapersonal and interpersonal growth.

Reclaim feelings of self-worth, restoring relationships and renewing thoughts, goals, and dreams. Increase success in your life and relationships through knowledge, insight, understanding and wisdom, based on truth and an increasing reliance on God.
