Therapists in Maurice, LA

I see counseling as a collaborative process in which my clients and I work together to promote feelings of hope, healing, and empowerment. This process is done by creating a safe and trusting environment in which the client and I work together to identify goals; improve communication and coping skills; strengthen self-esteem; and create a sense of autonomy. I have experience helping clients of all ages in areas such as trauma, anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, family stress, and behavioral concerns. I believe in approaching the counseling relationship in the way that best fits the needs of each individual client. I have received extra training in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Compassion Fatigue, and childhood and adult trauma processing. I received a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Louisiana Tech University, and a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Louisiana Tech University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Louisiana.

Hi, this is Art, I've been working in the mental health field for 28 years and as a licensed counselor since 2007. Have you ever had a problem or issue that you are concerned about? We all have. So, what do we do? We first try talking to our relatives or close friends. They are usually helpful and caring but they have their own thoughts about what we should do. It may involve another relative or friend whom they also know. Our issue may be very private and even embarrassing to speak about to someone we know. Have we ever considered speaking with a counselor? Oh, no, only crazy insecure people speak to counselors. That's how I felt over 25 years ago when going through a painful divorce. I needed to talk with someone that did not know anyone in my life to share my thoughts and experiences. Making the decision to seek counseling resulted in my personal realizations and growth that led me to where I am today! As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) I am highly trained to be totally present with a client. That means total listening without interruptions, no cellphone ringing, etc. I am also trained to keep your information confidential, with the rare exception if you are presenting a danger to yourself or others. I am client centered. I meet you where you are and walk beside you during a part of your life's journey. I also use breathing and meditation training to teach and experience mindfulness with each client. I utilize numerous techniques that I have learned to help my clients. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
