Thank you very much for checking here: I hope to be of service to you. My 17+ years of experience includes many years of counseling and listening, across various cultures, ages and personal client needs, with a few years as adjunct professor at Louisiana State University, Shreveport, LA: 3 years of work as a patient counselor in a hospital psychiatric unit, and 3 years of practice in a pediatric clinic. My current solo practice is empathetic, accepting and non-judgmental, having also practiced as an EAP (employee counselor) in a very large hospital and city system, in which I was required to see anyone for any situation or issue they may bring to counseling. This unique opportunity provided me with insights and understanding of people beyond my own personal scope of experience. I believe this has made me more sensitive to the needs, hurts and stress of the various clients I serve. I am generally available 6 days a week for appointments, because I really do enjoy my practice and my clients. I am licensed in Louisiana, Oregon and Florida and serve clients in those states, as well as in overseas countries. I am old enough to enjoy my 6 children, 14 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchild, together with my wife in a delightful sharing relationship. This creates a relaxed, accepting and strong relationship and family foundation for your counseling needs. My personal strengths hopefully convey to you a caring and positive mindset as we work together. My hobbies are sailing, backpacking, snow skiing and cooking (especially apple pies:) (p.s. In fairness to potential Oregon clients, I want to let you know that I am in the Eastern Time Zone, and regretfully, I can only be available to West Coast clients from 6:00/ am until 1:00 pm :( If this is not workable hours for you, you may wish to find another therapist who may have better hours for your schedule. I felt it was only fair to let you know this in advance.) Also..I can open more hours than what shows on the schedule, so if you need a day/time that is not shown, please message me. Hope to hear from you soon!

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!
