Therapists in Lockport, LA

Hi Friend, This is a little about me. First and foremost I am a regular and down-to-earth guy. At times Counseling professionals and other helping professionals can can get reputations to "high and mighty", "up on a pedestal", or 'holier than thou". I am a regular 40 year old man who is balding and slightly overweight. I have made mistakes in my life as I'm sure you have. I do not have a magic wand to make your life better in a hurry. What I do have is an open ear, a caring heart, a good education, and about 15 years in counseling a wide variety of people and issues. Of these the most common issues I have helped others with are overcoming symptoms of depression, anxiety, addiction, and common family issues. As I mentioned earlier there is no magic to what I do but we can work toward goals and talk it out.

Welcome! I’m so happy you are here! I know this means you are contemplating the beginning of your therapeutic journey. This is such a brave and worthwhile journey you have chosen to take! I truly believe that anyone can benefit from counseling regardless of age, race, gender or circumstance. About me: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 18 years of experience. I received my Master’s degree in Counseling from Southeastern Louisiana University. I went on to earn my license (LPC) working closely with my supervisor who is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. The majority of my time has been spent working with children and adults on issues such as: social skills, self-esteem, anger management, anxiety, behavior modification, parenting, grief, depression, relationships, etc. I especially enjoy working with adults individually to improve marital relationships and family conflicts. My primary counseling approach is person-centered therapy. I want you to always feel respected and valued throughout the entire therapeutic process. I believe you, as the client, possess the strength and skills within you to achieve all of your goals. I want you to feel completely in control of the pace and direction of therapy. I also like to utilize Solution-Focused Therapy. This mode of therapy is useful in achieving short-term goals more quickly. I understand the courage that it takes to reach out and seek help during a difficult or vulnerable time. Please know that your needs, goals, and feeling of safety will always be the priority. Please do not hesitate contact me. I look forward to working with you!
