Southern hospitality and warm welcomes are what Broussard is all about. Despite the warmth and joy that is present in your town, it can be easy to feel lonely and isolated when you're dealing with depression. Both depression and severe anxiety issues can hold you back in life. These types of problems can really make it so that you will have a tough time dealing with life in general. If you feel like you are unsure how to proceed in life due to these problems, then you need to seek out help.

A Broussard-area counselor can come to your aid when you decide to reach out. Counselors know what it is like to deal with these mental health problems and they can offer assistance. Being able to have someone who cares to listen to your problems will make a big difference. You can progress in life and your feelings of isolation will give way to happiness once more.

I earned a Masters of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regent University in 2015. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) #LPC 6526 and hold a license with the Louisiana LPC Board of Examiners located at 8631 Summa Avenue, Baton Rouge, La. 70809 (225-765-2515). In addition to being licensed as an LPC in Louisiana, I hold a national certification as a National Certified Counselor (NCC#630673). I believe that counseling encompasses a collaborative approach between the counselor and the client, and requires both working together to facilitate change in the client’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Counseling will require you to fully engage with me in the process, including inside and outside of the sessions. You may be asked to complete homework assignments, and this will partly determine whether we are accomplishing the stated counseling goals. I assist clients with addressing a variety of mental health concerns that significantly interferes with their ability to perform the primary aspects of daily living. I work with clients who experience family discord. I also assist clients who may be experiencing a crisis.
