Therapists in Louisiana

I am a professional counselor licensed in Louisiana with over 15 years of experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, family problems, career and school challenges and substance use issues. As a therapist my goal is to help you uncover your true potential. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complimentary therapy approaches and techniques, we will find long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a different direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Feeling overwhelmed? Want to make changes but not sure where to start? Do things feel out of control? Finding a good fit with a therapist can play a vital role in getting more of what you want in life. I see myself as someone who guides and facilitates a committed, compassionate and confidential space where we can clarify what is most important to you, and discover the blocks that get in the way of having the life that you want. I work with individuals and couples, teens and adults. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment, which helps you get to the root of the difficulties that are interfering with love, work, and play - the basic ingredients of a satisfying life.

Hello and welcome! I want to applaud you for initiating the process of therapy to assist you in addressing your most pressing concerns at this time. Life is full of challenges and we all need someone to come along side and help us during those times of challenge. My name is Pamella B. Divinity and I am a LPC. I earned a Master of Counselor Education degree with a focus in Marriage, Couples and Family Counseling in July 2015. I realized early in my life that people were naturally drawn to me—family, friends, and strangers alike entrusted me with their most sacred personal dilemmas because they felt comfortable and safe. I attribute this to possessing a genuine heart to help others. Interestingly, it never crossed my mind to consider counseling as a career choice and thereby took a different path. In April of 2011, I found myself at a ‘crossroads’ and needed to make a decision about what was next. During that process, I realized that my desire to help empower others would inspire me to return to school. It was at this time I realized that being in the helping profession was not just something I was considering as a career choice, it was part of my “calling.” For nearly 10 years, I have worked in a variety of settings with specialized groups which included college students, women (18 and above), youth (11-17), but have also worked with various populations experiencing various mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, family/relationship issues, anger management, stress management, and trauma. Additionally, I have counseled from a ministry perspective for over twenty-seven years and am able to integrate both the spiritual and clinical aspect of counseling when desired by the client. As a therapist, I employ an eclectic therapy approach to ensure interventions are tailored to each client’s needs. I possess a desire to help individuals and families be strengthened and empowered to navigate life’s challenges successfully, ultimately emerging to be their best selves. I believe that the therapist-client relationship should focus on learning the "root cause" of present and past issues, empower clients with necessary knowledge and encourage consistent implementation so that "transformation" is realized. I am dedicated to assisting my clients to achieve their maximum level of independent functioning throughout the therapeutic experience. In order to achieve this I believe two vital elements are essential-- first, the establishment of a strong therapist-client relationship that is based on trust, safety, and transparency. Secondly, I believe the client must possess a desire and motivation for change. To that end, I would count it an honor and a privilege to partner with you!

Hello. My name is Erika Williams. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with over 10 years’ experience working in various setting with diverse populations.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, low self-esteem and trauma. My counseling style encourages curiosity, creativity, and humility. I believe in promoting a safe environment that promotes empathy and nonjudgment. Honesty is also important as it is the foundation for healing and personal growth. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and client-centered therapy. It is my desire to help you reach you full potential as a human being and to assist others in finding the beauty within. Courage is a virtue when we choose to do good, especially when that is most difficult. Courage is moral strength in the face of danger.

The majority of my time has been spent working with children and adults on issues such as: social skills, self-esteem, anger management, anxiety, behavior modification, parenting, grief, depression, relationships, etc. I especially enjoy working with adults individually to improve marital relationships and family conflicts. My primary counseling approach is person-centered therapy. I want you to always feel respected and valued throughout the entire therapeutic process. I believe you, as the client, possess the strength and skills within you to achieve all of your goals. I want you to feel completely in control of the pace and direction of therapy. I also like to utilize Solution-Focused Therapy. This mode of therapy is useful in achieving short-term goals more quickly. I understand the courage that it takes to reach out and seek help during a difficult or vulnerable time. Please know that your needs, goals, and feeling of safety will always be the priority. Please do not hesitate contact me. I look forward to working with you!
