Hello,
I'm Alexis. I provide individualized counseling to adults of all ages struggling with depression, anxiety, work/life balance, and career issues. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana, National Certified Counselor, and a Certified Career Coach. I focus on helping people find their purpose in life and improve their ability to stay on course with their dreams. I offer relaxation training, self-esteem & confidence building, resume review and feedback, interview skills training, professional and personal boundaries training, as well as support and encouragement while processing and exploring your thoughts and feelings concerning your current situation. Sometimes you just need to talk and that's fine too.
As a counselor, my role is to be your ally and partner on your journey. Not an expert giving advice and telling you what to do. That being said, it's important to be open to the process and willing to accept feedback. There is sometimes a big difference between the feedback people want and the feedback they really need. We'll work together to set goals for your therapy depending on what you want to get out of it. So, how do you want counseling to help you? Solve a problem? Improve a relationship? Learn skills to manage anxiety? Figure out career direction? Your answers to questions like these can help us figure out how counseling needs to work for YOU.
I would like to fill you in on my style and a little bit about me so you can determine if I'm a good fit for you. I've been licensed as an LPC since 2017 but providing counseling services since 2014 as a PLCP. I've worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings with individuals of all ages and issues. I'm from the Gulf Coast so I'm casual in my approach but still serious about what I do. My highest value is truth with safety and freedom vying for second place. I enjoy philosophy, psychology, technology, keeping up with current events, laughing and gaming. I'm a gen-xer that grew up with monkey bars over concrete and I'm still here to tell the tale. :)
I work hard to respond to messages within 24 hours. I'm not perfect so there may be exceptions to the rule. If you message me on the weekend I will respond on Monday. Please feel free to use messages and journaling as another mode to express your thoughts and feelings because writing can be therapeutic. I'm generally available from 12-6pm Monday through Thursday and a couple of hours in the early afternoon on Fridays.
