Are you feeling off-balance or just like everything is a little bit off track? Some days it may seem like you are in a different world than everyone else and that they just do not get what you are saying. Do you have trouble talking to others? The counselors in Central, Louisiana are experienced with this type of issue. 

Central is a small city in Louisiana that, strangely enough, is not in the center of the state as you would think from the name. Sometimes things are just not as simple as they seem and you may just need to take a step back to see what you are missing. Talking to a counselor based in Central may be a big help in getting you centered again.

Hello! If you are exploring Better Help, it is likely that you are struggling with something significant in your life. Finding the right person to help you through these challenges is very important. If you don't have a good relationship with your counselor, you won't make the progress you are hoping to achieve. I want to provide you with some information about me in order to help you decide if my experience and style is the right match for you. I have been a social worker for more than 20 years and have experience working with people from all different backgrounds who are struggling with a wide variety of challenges. Much of my experience has been working with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBT-Q, anger management, and the challenges of parenting. The feedback I receive from clients is that they find me to be caring and nonjudgmental, and they appreciate that I am honest and direct with them. You can expect me to walk with you through whatever difficulties you are facing and help you learn more about yourself and the way you interact with the world. I can interact with you in whatever manner you are most comfortable. I find it helpful to participate in video sessions so that we can get to know each other better. But I am also available to you via phone and text if that is more comfortable for you. I know how hard it can be to find a counselor who you feel a connection with and I would be honored to work with you through this stage of your life.
