Linda Butler-Moore
Hi! My name is Linda Butler- Moore and I am a counselor licensed in Louisiana with over 20 years of experience as a rehabilitation counselor and in private practice. I have worked with clients seeking help with many issues and concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting issues, relationship, and interpersonal issues. I have also worked in hospitals and community clinics providing care for adults, couples, families, and groups. Some of my specialties include self-esteem concerns, parenting issues, trauma, relationship issues, anger, and more. I tend to use a person-centered approach to treatment where I meet clients where they are, and we develop a team approach to work on identified goals for needs fulfillment. The relationship between therapist and client is the key to progress. I also use an accepting, warm, strength-based approach to validate, support, and encourage clients. Some of the modalities I use are Cognitive-Behavioral, Rational-Emotive Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Reality Therapy. I usually blend modalities to design a person-centered treatment with client to best apply the most beneficial care. Overall, I use evidence-based practices to support and encourage clients toward happier lives. If you are ready I am ready to empower you.

Sharon Spencer Rose
Hello! My name is Sharon Spencer Rose. I have over 10 years of counseling. I earned a Divinity degree and a Masters degree in Christian Counseling from The Oral Roberts University in Christian in 2002 and 2003. I am licensed professional counselor and licensed addiction counselor. I see counseling as a process in which you, the client, and I, the Counselor having come to understand and trust one another, 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 approach counseling from both a systems and cognitive-behavioral perspective. A Systems Theorist views most human life as being guided by emotional forces which to a varying degree can be regulated by an individual’s ability to think. Systems believe that people are able to modify their responses to the automatic emotional input by undertaking a study of their own patterns of behavior and their link to patterns of behavior in their multigenerational family. In cognitive-behavioral, patterns of thoughts and actions are explored in order to better understand the clients' problems and to develop solutions. However, each individual is unique and may require other approaches to finding a resolution, for this reason an integrative approach that of emerging various approaches may be deemed necessary in order to produce an effective result. I work with clients in a variety of formats, including individually, as couples and as families. I also conduct group therapy as needed.
