Happiness and tragedy often happen simultaneously, or very close together. One of the most prominent events in the history of Minden was the marriage ceremony of famous country singer Hank Williams Sr, who then died just three months after the event. Even in the lives of ordinary people, it is never known when tragedy may strike. When you live in constant fear of the unknown, life can seem very tremulous.
Luckily there are counselors in the Minden area to help you find peace and happiness in the midst of the fear. Anxiety is a very real problem that can be address with confidential therapists. If you suffer from anxiety and worry, contact a counselor today.

Mark Haase
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor(LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Louisiana. I have worked in social services for over 25 years in various capacities--as a direct care worker in a group home for developmentally-disabled adults, as a staff worker at a homeless shelter for teens, as a licensed counselor in a crisis counseling program in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and as a Licensed Mental Health Professional (LMHP) working with children, teens, and adults who receive Medicaid. The clients I have helped have struggled with depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, Panic Disorder, and Bipolar Disorder. I see counseling as a way to help someone express feelings and thoughts in a safe environment, possibly for the first time. My approach combines Rogerian, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Motivational Enhancement. Counseling/therapy is a challenging endeavor and an adventure. I find those who stick with it come out more mature and more whole.
