Women's Issues Therapists in Destrehan, LA

I believe deeply in the ability for people to change and renew. My 20 plus years of experience working with women, men, and families who have experienced addiction, physical, sexual and emotional trauma, homelessness, and mental illness affirms this belief.

Hello! My name is Erin Primeaux, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Lake Charles, LA working with clients all across Louisiana via telehealth. I work with adult clients with multiple areas of focus including depression, anxiety, stress, grief, perinatal mental health, and women's issues. The major theories and techniques I utilize in my practice include but are not limited to the following: client-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, strength-focused, reality therapy and motivational interviewing.

Are you feeling anxious? Are you overwhelmed & overstimulated? Are you saying things like "I just don't feel like myself" and feel like this isn't how things should be? Every step of the journey through fertility/infertility, pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period can sometimes feel like an uphill battle no one prepared you for. In a time where others expect you to feel bliss, it is frustrating when you feel sadness, hopelessness, and fear instead. You don't have to suffer with anxiety, depression, & your scary thoughts alone. You are not your thoughts, and your feelings are valid.

Navigating adversity while maintaining self-compassion can be difficult. I strive to provide person centered care to individuals, families and couples. My approach to therapy is individualized, with consideration of the uniqueness of each client's preferences and needs. I utilize trauma informed care with traditional therapeutic methods such as solution focused therapy. I received my Bachelor of Arts from Louisiana State University and my Master’s in Social Work from Southern University at New Orleans. My office is conveniently located in Metairie, and I offer virtual/telehealth appointments.

Do you want what's inside to match what it looks like on the outside? Have you benefitted from talk therapy but wanting to go further? You may have insight as to why you feel stuck or anxious, but needing help to fully release and move forward. I strive to create a warm and safe therapeutic space that allows healing to naturally take place. My approach is person-centered and collaborative; with each client receiving individualized care depending on their life history, current issues, and personal goals. I have special interest in helping people who experience caregiver burnout, anxiety, grief, and other trauma-related symptoms.

The decision to seek therapy is a life-changing choice. It shows you are ready to face unresolved pain OR issues that may have made you feel hopeless. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable will lead to new thinking and behavior patterns. I provide therapy to individuals, families, geriatric, small groups, LGBTQIA, and people of color struggling with historical trauma, PTSD, medical diagnosis, depressed moods, anxiety, grief, desiring personal growth, divorce, single parenting, blended families, break-ups, shame, and humiliation.

We all hit roadblocks in our lives at some point. We experience issues we no longer feel able to manage alone, have problems we can't find our own solution to, or feel consumed by thoughts or emotions we can't seem to turn off. Sometimes we need an unbiased sounding board to bounce solutions and ideas off of. Sometimes we could use a little help incorporating new coping skills or problem-solving strategies into our lives. Sometimes we simply need someone to go on the journey with us. I'm here to do exactly that.

I have worked as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the field of social work for over 20 years. This experience has provided me the opportunity to work with many children, families and individuals. Through this training and experience, I have learned what works well and what does not work as well. Therefore, I am able to use proven counseling techniques to help my clients achieve the most effective results.

Everyone at some time or another, feel like they're alone and that nobody around them gets it. You feel disconnected and so you respond by isolating yourself from the things and people you love. Whether it be work, home, family, friends, or just a battle within yourself; I'm here. I care. It's perfectly OK to NOT be ok and it's perfectly fine to NOT have all the answers. Life is about the journey and the journey is a process that we all must endure. However, that doesn't mean that we are always on the right path or have all the tools we need in order to be successful.

Finding a good therapist with whom one can connect, create trust, and align values and goals is important. With 20 years of experience working in Mental Health I have a variety of tools to work with.

Reaching out for help can be an intimidating process, but therapy doesn't have to be scary. I work with individuals and families to help them identify the things that are going well in their lives and the things that they want to change. We collaborate together to make those changes a reality. I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you.

At Brennan Behavior Group, we strive to provide a very supportive and open atmosphere where we can work with you to discover the personal strengths and weaknesses which drive your life. Our goal is to educate our clients so that they can feel informed when making decisions in their life and navigating their relationships.

Every client is unique, special, and deserves the best services available on the market. Due to the unique needs of the client, I form a system that will show immediate growth potential and allow the client to better understand the root causes of what is troubling them. My system is simple, every experience you live through shapes you into who you are today, just as your experiences can shape you, together we can retake control and reshape you into your best self! I specialize in trauma, grief, couples, and family based counseling. I am confident that with the right attitude and proper support, together we can achieve anything.

I understand that there are times when you feel very alone and struggle with everyday realities. Let me help you find your self again and identify the things that are getting in the way of your happiness and success. You are not alone. We can do this together.
