Hello, I am Laurence Conkerton and I have been providing mental health counseling and therapy services for 30 years. I hold a Louisiana state license as an LPC, (Licensed Professional Counselor Licensed number 1887) and a Texas State Board of Examiners Professional Counselors License (LPC Number 88905) and I am also Nationally Certified (NBCC). I provide Individual, couples, family and group therapy to clients of all backgrounds and diversities. I provide Telehealth/ Virtual sessions. I am dedicated in helping my clients reach their goals and finding a healthy balance within all areas of their lives.

Regina Moore has been a licensed mental/behavioral health therapist for ten years; however, she has over 20 years of experience working with individuals, families, and groups as a helping professional. She has worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting concerns, childhood trauma, physical and emotional abuse, and ADHD. She has also helped clients who experienced flashbacks of emotional trauma from human trafficking.

It is my hope that I and each person I work with intentionally strive toward living a more emotionally healthy life. You might be seeking better relationships with others or wish to feel better about yourself. Symptoms of anxiety or depression may affect you and your ability to "show up" for those you care about. The impact of trauma may be "taking you out" of your ability to focus and remain present to yourself and others. You may have mild to chronic symptoms that have previously been diagnosed or instead may just feel confusing or unwanted. We can explore these and develop a plan to help you build and live a meaningful life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. My clinical experience has been working with children and adolescents, providing individual, family, and play therapy.

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.

Hi! If you’re reading this, you’re in the right place! Taking that first step is never easy and takes great courage. You feel like you’re on the sideline of your own life, watching as everything passes by. At times, it can feel overwhelming to manage the challenges faced on a daily. I am here to remind you that you are not alone, you are capable, deserving, and worthy of healing. My main goal is always to create a safe and non-judgement space for my clients to feel heard, seen, and accepted. Mental health is health and while it’s complex and ever changing, it’s a journey; your journey!

Are you struggling with life's curve balls? Is your child or teenager angry, defiant, stressed, or depressed? Is your relationship an emotional roller-coaster? Are you looking for better ways to co-parent? If so, we will work together to find a solution that meets your needs!

I take an eclectic approach and use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Solution Focused, Reality Based, and psycho-education to individuals age 5 and up. My theory is that when people have hope and can learn to challenge and replace irrational thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes, people are free to experience change.

There are often situations that arise that are out of our control, as well as those that are in our control. Regardless of the category, there remains the fact that there are struggles and challenges that impacts managing day to day life. It takes both courage and resilience to reach out for help. I am honored to help you navigate through these struggles and challenges so that you can gain control in managing life again.

I enjoy working with people seeking to improve their quality of life. Sometimes it can be difficult to pinpoint where the “problem” is, or why our relationships have become so difficult. Difficulty in relationships, anxiety, depression, and grief are among the concerns that I am able to help clients with. Coping with childhood trauma, the impacts of substance use and/or alcoholic parents or partners, and surviving physical, emotional, or verbal abuse are areas with which I am well suited to assist clients.

Making the decision to seek counseling can be a challenging first step, and it takes tremendous strength to reach out for help. As a therapist, I provide a non-judgmental and supportive atmosphere to help individuals navigate life's challenges in an effort to develop a healthy lifestyle.

My ideal client is seeking increased freedom to remove barriers to growth, and to work toward meeting self-identified goals while building on current strengths. Whether struggling with worrisome anxiety, feelings too depressed to enjoy, or behaving in ways that the client wants to change, I tend to take a person-centered, supportive approach to helping. Clients benefit from solution-focused approaches while increasing self-awareness to identify and use strengths, for greater ease of handling life's ups and downs, using clear, simple self-management tools and effective coping. I use psycho-education to ensure client's self-efficacy.
