Stress Therapists in Shreveport, LA

Your purpose carries a potent energy that is unique to you. Sometimes we find ourselves giving that energy away by getting stuck or lost in self-sabotaging our success by holding on to limited beliefs and unhealthy behaviors.

Now more than ever, I believe that emotional health is just as important as your physical health. For that reason, I have dedicated my career to helping others become the best version of themselves. I am a two-time graduate of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where I graduated with a Master’s in Counseling Education. I have served as a School Counselor for over 7 years, serving students ranging from elementary through college.

So many of us want and need validation. I have clients express relief when they hear they are not alone with how they feel or act. Some just want to be heard...to have someone truly listen. Many struggle with low self esteem or feel awkward in social settings. I believe a person’s physical well-being is related to their emotional and spiritual self. If one is out of sync, it affects the rest. Everyone wants to be happy! I am prepared to help individuals find their own happy and healthy balance in life!

Navigating life's transitions demands both resilience and a committed guide. With nearly two decades of experience as a counselor, I focus on helping individuals navigate difficult transitions. I perceive challenges—be it stress, anxiety, career transitions, or relationship troubles—not as barriers but as opportunities for growth. My experience is broad, from community agencies to educational settings, and extends internationally, including six years in Colombia working with intercultural couples/families and expatriates. These experiences have refined my ability to facilitate change across various cultural contexts.

I enjoy working with people of all ages, and especially teenagers. My goal is to help individuals, couples, and families find balance and harmony by building self-awareness, creating healthier and effective behaviors, and cultivating joy.

You are struggling, and are finding it difficult to keep it together day to day. You are feeling anxious, depressed or angry. You feel stuck and know that you, your child or teen needs help. Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow.

As you face relationship troubles, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, or loss, you're looking for hope. I invite you to experience the deep healing, growth, and confidence my clients enjoy as they increase their self-awareness, overcome blocks caused by trauma, and build resilience during challenges. Your growth will result in expanded joy and satisfaction in life. If you need tools to enhance your well-being or revive relationships under stress, let's work together- individually, as a family or couple. I will impart proven strategies to help you move towards healing and more loving relationships.

The decision to see a counselor, coach, or consultant isn't an easy one to make. You're here because you know that creating balance and peace in your life is possible.

Through doing so, you will gain a clear perspective to identify and set the specific goals that will empower you to design a life you love.

Dr. Millhollon is a systemic therapist. His approach to individual therapy recognizes that people are the product of interactional patterns that shape their world view. Problems of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood can often be solved by observing these patterns and interactions, then identifying personal strengths and resources that can lead to workable solutions.

I have a dual client base working with those in the LGBTQIA+ community and those in the adoption community. My clients in the LGBTQIA+ community experience fears of rejection, isolation, and anxiety. Being in the closet is a lonely and scary place, but it does not have to be, if you let me in. As I learn more about who your are, we can develop your strengths and increase confidence, so you can live your life as the person you were born to be. I also help adoptees who might have self-identity issues, "who am I", "where did I come from", "should I find my biological family?" I will help you answer these questions.

Sometimes, life feels overwhelming, and you feel "stuck" unable to determine what is the next step to take to resolve problems. Many issues can cause you to feel this way including anxiety, depression, family dynamics, chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, and what I tend to call "life stuff." Are you ready to feel less overwhelmed and stuck? Could you use some help determining how to better manage caregiver stress, family issues, chronic illness, and general life issues so that you feel less depressed and anxious? I would love to help you with this so that you can feel better and start enjoying life again!

Helping the people-pleasers, worriers, and over-thinker's who want to feel valuable just as they are. When you constantly feel overwhelmed, and like you can’t get anything “right”, it’s so difficult to be at peace. You may overcompensate by focusing on work, achievement, or by being dependable to others. You may have difficulty setting boundaries. You feel stressed out, on edge, & unable to be your authentic self. This leads to anxiety and feeling like you’re never good enough. You may also have unresolved trauma. We can work together to help you find meaning, live your life with more ease, and meet your goals.

Imagine our counseling sessions as a safe harbor, a space where you’re free to be unapologetically yourself. I bring to the table a blend of empathy, understanding, and a dash of humor—because let’s face it, laughter can be the best medicine, especially when coupled with genuine support.

An ideal client would be one that is "sick-and-tired-of-being-sick-and-tired." Do you know what I mean? If being "sick-and-tired" begins to describe how you feel, I'm the therapist for you! If you need a great listener, someone who will help you organize and prioritize what's most important to you, then I'm your therapist. To be clear, I'm only interested in clients who are ready to make changes in their lives. For maximum benefit, you must be ready to make changes in order to receive the maximum benefit of the time and money you are investing in yourself. After all, who has time and money to waste? Said no one.

This is a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. It is cozy and warm, and I understand you completely. My goal is to create a respectful and open atmosphere where we can communicate freely and without assumptions. Whether you need a safe place to navigate life changes, manage stress, or deal with anxiety and depression, I'm here to help you develop resilience, improve your communication skills, and gain insight into your thought patterns.
