Therapists in Central, LA

My name is Nicole Rabalais. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Louisiana #11992. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Master of Science in Social Work in 2008. I have been working in the field since that time in various positions: caseworker, therapeutic houseparent at a foster group home, mental health rehabilitation specialist, and now as a group therapist for an intensive outpatient program. My overall focus is on psychological wellness through 1) purposeful living and 2) healthy relationships. Purposeful Living I will help you determine your particular values and priorities and identify the obstacles that prevent you from living a life according to those values. I also places a heavy focus on finding balance in the various aspects of one's life (work, relationships, recreation, health) to create fulfillment. Many of my methods are derived from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Healthy Relationships When dealing with this aspect of therapy, I focus mainly on assertiveness training/interpersonal effectiveness and interpersonal boundaries. Assertiveness and interpersonal effectiveness training will help you to get your needs met while preserving positive relationships. Learning about interpersonal boundaries will help you understand where your locus stops and where another person's begins. Before we begin our work together, I ask you to fill out a short assessment to determine whether we are a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you. - Nicole NOTE: I can only work with patients within the state of Louisiana. I will also require identifying information so that I am in compliance with the standards of the National Association of Social Workers.

I am an LPC licensed in the state of Louisiana. My counseling experience has spanned the university, business, and private practice settings. Although my degree focus is in the marriage and family area, I built a specialty in career counseling working with all stages and phases of career issues. In addition, I am passionate about working with clients in the areas of communication, anxiety, grief& loss, confidence building, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. I believe that good therapy comes from a warm, non-judgmental professional relationship. I will work with you to help you achieve your goals and live your best life. My counseling approach is collaborative, and client focused and I would be honored to work with you.

Welcome! My name is Emily. I am a mother, partner, friend, daughter, and all-around real-life person just like you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Louisiana with a masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Since becoming licensed in 2006, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families. I have worked with children, teens, adults, and geriatric clients. I am a person-centered therapist that adapts my style to the client and the situation. My counseling style is warm, friendly, and casual. I see the counseling process as one in which you and I work to develop trust and respect for one another in order to work as a team in identifying and interrupting cycles of problematic behaviors, develop adaptive life goals, and implement strategies to help you achieve those goals. There are a lot of "right" ways to do therapy. I have utilized and studied several counseling theories and techniques over the years. My style could be described as eclectic since I use techniques from many different theories in my practice. Some of the therapeutic approaches I tend to utilize in therapy include: Cognitive-behavioral therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Narrative therapy, Strategic therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, systems theory, Mental Research Institute theory, Structural therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-focused therapy. I work with BetterHelp full-time and hold sessions on weekdays. My typical hours are as follows: Monday: 8am - 6pm Tuesday: 8am - 3pm Wednesday: 8am - 3pm Thursday: 8am - 6pm Friday: 8am - 6pm I look forward to meeting you and getting started on the therapeutic journey!
