Hello, my name is Charlamonte Gordon and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Louisiana. I hold a M.ED in counseling and have been in the field for over 15 years. I have helped clients work through a wide range of concerns such as anger, anxiety, depression, conflict resolutions as well as a variety of other mental health concerns. I have experience in helping individuals who find themselves dealing with other system agencies that can bring about anxiety such as the legal system, the school system, and even child protection services amongst other things. I have over 10 years of experience working with children/adolescents that exhibit at-risk behavior. Those who are at risk may exhibit behaviors such as poor impulsivity and anger control, manipulation, poor decision-making, lack of guidance and poor mental health management. Children and adolescents should have a voice when it comes to being able to manage and maintain their mental health. We can’t choose what happens to us, but we have the opportunity to choose how we respond. My aim is to ensure that both young and old know they matter and what they have been through does not define nor change who they would like to be. Being in the helping profession has given me the opportunity to touch and transform the lives of others in special ways. There are so many things going on in the world that can easily make us feel overwhelmed. As a Counselor, I pride myself on being patient, treating everyone with respect and having an open mind. I am a strong believer that we all possess strengths that can be built upon to pull us through those tough situations. Let me help you discover your inner strengths and how to use them to be the best you that YOU envision to be!
