Relationship Issues Therapists in Union Parish, LA

Sometimes people with the worst pasts end up creating the best futures. It is my goal as a therapist to help you reach that future. We all have struggles, failures, and regrets. The acknowledgement of having these battles is the greatest step forward. No matter what obstacles you bring to my office, you can expect to be met with non-judgement, compassion, professionalism, and authenticity. I believe that a solid and honest therapeutic relationship is the foundation for positive growth and change.

Are you living the best version of "you"? Is what you are doing each day working to build a better life? What's holding you back from changing? These are questions I might ask during our first session. I approach therapy from a collaborative viewpoint. Together the client and therapist will build a therapeutic relationship that will produce positive solutions. I also encourage the client to become mentally and physically empowered by recognizing and changing their unconscious thoughts and ideas.

Do you feel like you're at a crossroads and don't know which direction to choose? I use a systematic approach to help you map out an individualized plan for growth and healing. With my guidance, you will: (1) identify what keeps you stuck (2) explore your core values (3) reframe your thoughts and beliefs (4) implement healthy lifestyle changes (5) accept the things that have been holding you back (6) find your purpose.

I see counseling as a process in which the client and the counselor work together in achieving a safe environment of understanding, mutual respect, and trust. We work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life, and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals. I work with clients in a variety of formats including individual, couples, family, and group therapy. I also offer 1, 2, or 3 day "marriage intensives" in either the Haughton office or through teletherapy. Please contact me for more information on intensives.

Life is a journey with many changes. Adapting to those changes can be difficult but you do not have to go through the journey alone. Let me help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who have been practicing for over 20 years. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I provide individual, relationship, and family therapy. My goal is to make therapy convenient by offering home based counseling.

Sex therapy is a form of counseling that is for couples as well as individuals to resolve sexual difficulties, such as performance anxieties or relationship problems. It is a specialized type of psychotherapy, which means you are treating a mental health issue by going to a mental health professional. Sex therapy can help you improve your current or future relationships, overcome sexual and physical difficulties, and help gain a better understanding of yourself and your sexuality. We provide a safe and relaxing environment, along with professional care, and understand the difficulty you are struggling with.

Therapy involves working together to identify and develop effective solutions to the negative patterns, thoughts, and actions you experience in life while accentuating your strengths. I see my clients as partners in their mental health journey and believe in working as a team to help each client get closer to their fullest potential. Our work together will help you re-orient yourself to the present and reignite the underlying drive to reach that potential.

Are you feeling lost, anxious, or struggling to cope? Know that you are not alone. I invite you to take the courageous step of reaching out for support. Whether you’re grappling with relationship issues, seeking to heal from past traumas, or simply looking for a space to explore your thoughts and feelings, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey.

For me, counseling is an exciting, yet challenging process with a goal of positive change. I will collaborate with you to establish appropriate and achievable goals to help you improve your life in a number of contexts. I believe that only you can choose your path. We will work together to achieve your goals through a variety of different interventions. I strive to maintain an open, honest, and empowering relationship to serve as a vehicle for change. It is my hope that counseling will provide you with a safe place for self-exploration. You are the expert in your life and I will help in finding the solutions that work best for you.

I work with teenagers, adults, and couples. As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, my primary focus involves working with those that struggle with sex addiction, pornography, infidelity, and the resulting difficulties. I also work with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach involves understanding individuals as a part of the larger systems the exist within (marriage, family, work, etc.).

I help couples learn to communicate better, fight in a healthy & effective way, and become better friends and partners. My signature program is a 9-step roadmap to improve your friendship, conflict resolution skills, and connection to become a team. Part of the process is a strength-based assessment that helps identify the strengths and areas that need improvement. I believe improving your primary relationship will have positive ripple effects for the rest of your life. For more information, please visit my website: www.CounselingConnectionsLA.com.

I enjoy working with clients in a variety of formats,including individually,couples,families and children. I am trained in EMDR and play therapy. Most recently I have been trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART uses imagery rescripting and memory reconsolidation to alter negative emotions and sensations associated with pain or trauma,in as few as 1-5 sessions. I have experience helping clients with a variety of issues such as depression,anxiety,marriage,self-esteem and divorce.

I have over 14 years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families, and I teach the practice and research of marriage and family therapy at a local university as an associate professor. I firmly believe that you are doing the best you can and your struggles do not define who you are, and my focus is on helping you pinpoint what is keeping you from having satisfying relationships and achieving your full potential. In close consultation with you, I aim to help you devise strategies to improve your life quality and satisfaction.

There are times when stress and painful circumstances overwhelm a person's capacity to function effectively. Often, such crises also provide opportunities to understand oneself, others, and the world more deeply. I believe the therapeutic relationship provides a healing environment through which to find understanding, along with symptom relief, improved relationships and functioning, and movement toward living life in a more purposeful and meaningful manner.

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 as a couple. I will impart proven strategies to help you find healing and loving relationships.

I believe good mental health is a part of your overall health and wellness. Imagine carrying a back pack that is heavy with loss, sadness, anger, guilt, stress, depression, anxiety or any other difficult emotion in response to your life. It may seem unbearable. When problems accumulate, stress can seem insurmountable. My career as a professor of Clinical Mental Health professionals and years of experience in helping others serves to help clients manage those overwhelming issues. My personal goal is to assist you by offering therapeutic interventions that will help you lighten your back pack. Therapy can be life changing.

I facilitate sessions focusing on understanding, providing an environment of acceptance, warmth, and respect that helps guide clients through a process of self-awareness, growth, and change. I have extensive experience working with addiction and all of the underlying issues and with individuals and families with trauma related issues. My work in substance abuse has granted me the opportunity to work with a diverse group of clients suffering from stress, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and grief. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort and I encourage clients to communicate openly about what works best for them.
