Therapists in Baton Rouge, LA

Hey there! My name is Shea D’Amico and I firmly believe counseling can empower you for the better and would love to help you navigate your journey. I approach counseling from a compassionate, understanding, and patient standpoint as it is very important to me that you feel understood and heard in a safe and trusting environment.

One of the goals of counseling is to gain knowledge and insight into problematic behaviors, beliefs, feelings, and relationship issues. I believe that a person can come into the knowledge of self to regain control, motivation, and self-worth to reach their full potential. In this I believe in establishing realistic and achievable goals for individuals and families that will bring forth true freedom. I incorporate several therapeutic techniques and interventions that are designed for the individual client that includes but not limited to; person centered, brief solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

We all could benefit greatly from talk therapy and having someone in our lives that we feel comfortable talking freely with without the fear of being judged. Through talk therapy, you are able to gain a better understanding of your emotions, cope with stress, overcome anxiety and insecurities, process previous traumatic experiences, work on breaking unhealthy habits, and discuss possible lifestyle changes. I have extensive experience in providing talk therapy services to individuals from all walks of life.

Hi, Brave Soul! Regardless of what transitional season you are currently in, you can rise above it. You've experienced many hardships, challenges, and arduous seasons. Don't remain there. Life is meant to be lived in abundance. You deserve an amazing and thriving life. But you may ask, " Where do I even start? Can I do this? or How?" Yes, you can DO THIS! It starts with YOU taking the first step in accepting help. We will sort life out and learn "how to" alongside me. Recognize there is no perfect time to start.

My ideal client is someone who is just not quite sure,'where to go from here', with issues such as Anxiety, Depression, and just plain being,' Stuck'.I have over 25 years of counseling experience and have successfully helped clients overcome career, family, and relationship dilemmas, as well as addiction and troubles with compulsive behaviors. I will work with you in determining your best course and help you break down seemingly monstrous problems into manageable tasks. Co-Dependency in relationships is one of my specialties. I have even trained other therapists in dealing with this and other issues.

Counseling is not just an educational endeavor for me, it is my true life’s passion. As my primary spiritual/natural gift, my purpose on earth is to utilize my counseling skills to serve others in any capacity that I can. We have all felt sad, angry, lonely, misunderstood, unforgiven, misused, abused, fed up, and so on and so forth. Our goal in therapy would be to examine your emotional well being and how it impacts your life. While you process through everything from past trauma to current conflicts, it is significant to know that your growth and healing is what is most important to me.

Recognizing the need to work on a problem demonstrates courage. Perhaps you are out of ideas for how to cope with a troubled marriage/relationship or a strained relationship with your child or teen. Maybe you are depressed or anxious, experiencing job burnout, and nothing you've tried has helped. You might have a vision of how you want life to change, but need a calm and supportive place to work out how to get there. In times like these, you want someone to understand you, help you redefine your strengths, and offer some new options.

In 2023, adolescents face many pressures that adults have never experienced. Social media has created an environment that forces children and adults alike to be constantly "on", creating a level of anxiety that is unparalleled. Therapy is an outlet that is not only no longer stigmatized, but a necessity in order to grow and thrive in a healthy way. I specialize in assisting teens and adults with their anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. Therapy should not be a last ditch effort to save one's relationships - it should be consistent maintenance of oneself.

We have all faced mounting moments of adversity, trauma, and tragedy. Those moments can cause one to feel rejected, overwhelmed, and hopeless. The stressors of life can cause you to feel like it is too difficult to continue. However, difficult does not mean impossible.

I want to help you. My name is Rick Jackson and I have 14 years of experience with a wide variety of issues and concerns.

I will utilize that skill to help provide guidance as we begin to develop the goals you want to achieve in therapy.
