Living with someone who has Alzheimer’s disease can be frustrating and stressful. In fact, you may need to talk to a counselor who can help you learn to deal with all of the complications and situations you have to deal with. It doesn’t make you weak, it makes you strong to ask for help. Natchitoches has some amazing counselors who can help. 

Taking your loved one with Alzheimer’s out for some fun and adventure can be a great idea and Natchitoches has plenty to offer anyone. If you like history, you can enjoy the Los Adaes Historic Site or the Fort St. Jean Baptiste State Historic Site. If you are a film buff, try the Steel Magnolias Film Tour. Or just visit one of the fun parks like the Natchitoches City Park. Just enjoy the day with your loved one and if you need help, talk to one of the Natchitoches counselors.

I believe the counseling process is one where we both work together to help you reach your goals. I believe in treating everyone with respect, care, compassion, and and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines a variety of counseling styles to include solution-focused, person-centered, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. As therapy is about you and your goals/achievements, our session style, the content and the treatment plans are structured to meet your personal and unique needs. It takes tremendous courage and strength to not only be able to identify areas in your life that you feel need improvement. To actually take the dye is toward improvement and seek help from others especially a stranger is incredibly admirable.
