Therapists in Kinder, LA

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.

Hello! My name is Melissa Robles and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Louisiana. I’ve been practicing in the mental health field for the last 5 years. I’ve worked in a variety of settings including schools, short-term inpatient mental health hospitals, clinics and agency settings. Within these settings I’ve worked with clients in a wide range of concerns including trauma, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, victims and witnesses of crime, parenting problems, career challenges, intellectual/developmental disabilities, and life transitions. I’ve facilitated groups and individual sessions as well. My counseling style is warm and inviting. I believe that trust should be established, and the work will naturally flow through a safe environment. I also believe that LAUGHTER is truly therapeutic! I incorporate a holistic, multicultural and integrative approach to treatment. I combine multiple therapy techniques including but not limited to cognitive-behavioral, trauma-focused, psychodynamic and solution-focused techniques. However, I meet the client where they are and tailor what is necessary to help in the achievement of accomplishing goals. Let’s get started!

I earned an M.Ed. Degree from Northeast Louisiana University in 1991. An LPC-S # 3527 with the Licensed Professional Counseling Board. 11410 Lake Sherwood Ave North Suite A, Baton Rouge. LA 70816 Telephone Number: 225-295-8444 (phone) 225-295-8448 (fax). A scholar in the Doctor of Philosophy in Counselor Education and Supervision at Walden University. I see counseling as a process in which you, the client, and I, the counselor, have come to understand and trust one another. We will work as a team to explore and define present problems, and situations, develop future goals for improved life and work systematically toward realizing those goals. I have a Clinical general and Telehealth practice focusing on individual clients, couples, family issues and the military population. I hold national certification as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and National Certified School Counselor (NCSC) # 245996. I hold appraisal privilege and Supervision designation with the Louisiana LPC Board. As an LPC-S, I am required by state law to adhere to the Code of Conduct for practice that my licensing Board has adopted. A copy of this Code of conduct is available upon request. I approach counseling from a humanistic perspective that infuses positivity, reflection, and encouragement. I work with a variety of clients including individuals, couples, and families. I also conduct group therapy. I see clients of all ages and backgrounds. I do not work independently with children under six years of age.

Oh, hey there! Thank you for stopping by. My name is Robb and I have 20 years of helping people transform into their best selves. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. However, I do have a 10/3 rule: I give you 10 minutes after the session starts (unless you message me in advance that you will be late) and then I will have to consider this a missed session and after 3 missed appointments in a row, I will no longer be able to work with you. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation regarding this matter. My approach is informed by my faith in Jesus and that Christ is the healer. For more on my understanding of this, please refer to this video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2u_1H9ZN3AE My main area of focus and interest is in identity (knowing and loving who you truly are). Although I was trained in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (a form of CBT), I have found that our pain is a spiritual one and therefore requires a spiritual answer. I also help people in finding their true identity (who you are, not what you do). It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
