Hello! My name is Sandra Johnson, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, possessing over 20 years of experience in the mental health profession. I hold the belief that events in life occur for a reason; thus, the path you have taken to arrive at this point is indicative of your journey toward wellness. I am committed to creating an environment of holistic care, which I hope will facilitate your discovery of a state of well-being. I am equipped to address a variety of issues that may hinder current functioning, including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, anger, stress, abuse, neglect, grief and loss, trauma, inadequate parenting skills, relationship challenges, and boundary issues. I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral perspective, in which I examine the patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that disrupt present functioning. Additionally, I incorporate various other perspectives and strategies tailored to the unique issues and needs of each client. It is important to recognize that wellness is an ongoing process. Regardless of where you find yourself along this continuum—whether in the phase of prevention, recovery, or any stage in between—there is always an opportunity for a wellness assessment. I am here to assist you in evaluating, addressing, and fostering the intricate journey toward your optimal self. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and to collaborate with you as you progress on your journey to wellness. Thank you.

25 years offering treatment
I received my Master’s degree in Social Work in 1994. Since that time, I have had opportunities to work with adults, children, and families in a variety of settings. Though I have experience with many mental health issues, I would consider my specialties as mood disorders, trauma, relational issues and parenting. My experience has taught me the importance of flexibility when working with a client and their unique circumstances. Treatment techniques and strategies will vary depending on the needs presented. Through the years, my basic core philosophy towards therapy has been strengthened through successes I have witnessed. This philosophy is based on my strong belief that we, as humans, do the best that we can with the circumstances we are given, and that we have the ability to grow and make positive changes. As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe and caring environment, filled with acceptance and empathy, providing guidance and honest feedback to assist in the change process.

Mental Wellness Specialties: Stress, AnxietyLGBTDepression
12 years offering treatment
My name is Maria Sands. I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work and a State license to practice Social Work in Louisiana. I practice from a Bio-Psycho-Social perspective; that is, I look at the whole person as an Individual who is also part of society. I have worked in medical and psychiatric venues which adds to my ability to address issues such as comorbidities and psychotropic medications. My specialties include Anxiety Disorder, ADHD, Bi-Polar Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder. I use CBT, Deep Relaxation Techniques, Self-Affirmations and Journaling among other techniques and treatment approaches to address these disorders. I have had a good deal of experience with adults and the elderly with pre-existing conditions, such as kidney failure. I think I can help because I come from a Bio-Psycho-Social perspective and because I tailor my treatment approach to the clients I am treating. Different techniques work better for different people.
