Therapy is the place where change begins.

Our clinic in Lafayette, La specializes in therapy & counseling for anxiety, phobias, panic attacks, depression, trauma, obsessions, and compulsions for teens and adults and couples / relationships using evidence based approaches. 

Relax knowing that these symptoms are common in our hectic world, and are also indicators that something within you needs your attention.  Just as intense pain in your leg indicates a physical problem in your body – emotions, thought patterns, and actions/habits are indicators of a "problem" within. Sometimes it is the way we are genetically hard-wired, other times environmental factors are the reason, and it can also be the way we react to these factors.  But most often it can be a bit of all three. 

Finding a therapist/counselor who is trained in evidenced based approaches is essential. Most people would not live with intense pain in their leg, they would seek medical guidance, working with a therapist is the same concept. Just because it’s in "your head" does not mean you are alone. Working with a therapist will provide skills to guide you through your mental health needs.  

Seeing a therapist/counselor who is knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, and persistent will provide all the necessary ingredients for change / resolution / moving through to occur. 

 Our practice is this exact place! We are warm, confidential, and knowledgeable and we know the delicate dance of change and how to nurture it within you or your loved one!
