Therapists in Petal, MS
Petal is known as the “Safest City in Mississippi.” Without good mental health, the world seems like a dangerous, sad, and lonely place. Fear and stress lead to anxiety. Sadness and loneliness can bring long-term depression. Your emotions take over, and you feel powerless to change your life.
Over time, emotional problems wear away at your strength. When every day is filled with sadness, stress, and anxiety, you want to retreat into isolation. Your troubles seem too personal and too burdensome to share, but going it alone is excruciating. Talk to a counselor in the Petal area for private, confidential counseling.

Identifying the need to change is greater than the need to stay the same can be the first step toward building a foundation for recovery but can also be the hardest. Hi, my name is Adrian Owen and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider.

26 years offering treatment
As a mental health therapist, licensed in Arkansas, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Virginia, with over 26 years experience, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, poor focus, and self esteem. My therapy style is caring and encouraging. I provide support, as you gain insight, and help you develop healthier coping skills. In our therapy sessions, you are accepted where you are, and encouraged to grow. I use multiple approaches to help my clients cope and overcome their difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches individuals how to manage intense emotions, cope more effectively with challenging situations, and improve relationships. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) helps a person identify negative thoughts, make positive changes, and improve mood, actions, and outcome. Person-Centered Therapy provides a caring, non-judgemental, and empathic setting, allowing clients to take more of a lead, as they discover their own solutions. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) prepares individuals to process and manage emotional distress, and other trauma related symptoms, resulting from traumatic experiences, and help improve relationships, occupational functioning, and interest in former activities.
