Sports Performance Therapists in Mandeville, LA

One of my old football coaches used to repeatedly ask me "What happens when you get knocked down?" the answer was always "Get Back Up." My name is Stephen Maffei and I operate RISE Counseling. RISE stands for: Refocus. Identify. Strengthen. Excel. If you or someone you know is looking to improve your performance at work, athletics, in the classroom or you simply want to better yourself, RISE may be for you. I know how it feels to get knocked down and want to stay down. Life can be difficult and throw curve balls at us and I want you to know you that it is OK to be you and that you can get back up.

The innovations of our modern world bring new forms of stress while intensifying those which already exist. Hours of the day are spent in grueling stop and go traffic, and to advance one's education or career often requires uprooting from what is known and setting up in a completely new place. People are working more hours than ever before, while cost of living, overpopulation, and globalization heighten the stress of just trying to get by. With change comes the pain of adapting to the way the world is now, often so different from just a few short years ago.

I help people ready to reclaim space for self-care and wellness. Let me assist you in managing life transitions, setting boundaries, and overcoming burnout. I have extensive experience collaborating with clients to help them build the life they desire. Through the therapeutic relationship, I integrate my expertise with client's needs to promote holistic well-being. ​ My work is guided by three core tenets. Teach, Train, Transform. I value helping my clients know more and do more in order to transform their lives.

I want to help you figure out now that PEACE HAPPENS INSIDE OUT. Lets make RIGHT NOW the best it can be, regarding our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. We have the power within to stand up and push through the most adverse situations but occasionally lose our balance and fall down. My goal is to help you figure out how to get back up and continue the journey of life by learning from the past, and planning and preparing for the future, but really living in the present, as the gift that it is.

We offer counseling, meditation, and fitness training. But above all else, our work is about power. Consider the problems in your life. With improved discipline, optimal health and fitness, wealth generated through an enjoyable profession or business far above your financial obligations, clear communication and negotiation skills, and a working knowledge of your emotional mechanisms, of strategy and tactics, and of logic and rational inquiry, how would your life change? What would happen to your energy level and mood? what goals would you meet? Who else could you help?

Whether you're grappling with grief, wrestling with anxiety and depression, navigating relationship issues, or simply seeking guidance and support, I am here to help. I specialize in supporting individuals through life transitions, loss, and grief, providing a compassionate space for you to honor your emotions and find freedom. I am passionate about supporting individuals in their journey towards emotional well-being and personal growth. I understand that seeking therapy can be a courageous step, and I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges.

Dr. Pete Cooper holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Counseling Studies and is a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Louisiana and a Certified Life Coach. He has been practicing in the mental health profession for over 25 years and primarily works with individuals struggling with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship and marital issues and those in the midst of life transitions. Dr. Cooper takes an eclectic approach in helping others by effectively tailoring what each individual's struggles are, in tandem with what their personality type is and what goals they want to achieve.

I offer short-term, solution-focused therapy. My clients are successful people whom I respect and admire. Like in other areas of their lives when an issue occurs, they want answers and a course of action. Providing for others, they have often put aside their own needs. Their work and personal relationships are intertwined. Talking about how to move forward can be a timeout when one can determine the next steps. Hearing yourself talk aloud about what has been on your mind and heart may give clarity in differentiating between want and need. I encourage clients to gift themselves with time aside.

Mental health conditions are some of the most commonly occurring health-related conditions in the US, as 1 in 4 people have (or meet criteria for) a diagnosable mental disorder. I strive to reduce the stigma in society that often appears when discussing these concerns and seeking mental health services. Sometimes, asking for help is the hardest part. Each client deserves a collaborative, accepting environment to discuss growth, empowerment, change, and healing.

Transition is a natural part of life whether a transition from high school to college, getting married or divorced, or changing careers. Both positive and negative transition can bring stress into the family. I work with Adults & Children 7 years and above. As a military combat veteran, I have interacted with cultures around the globe. Assisting active military, veterans, and their families is a passion of mine. Conversely, I have great experience in settings where the average client has not had military experience. I take a direct approach when working with people where you meeting your goals is the focus for the sessions.

I am a dynamic, caring counselor. I have 20 years experience in counseling. I partner with clients and families to help them with ADHD, ANXIETY, and Grief symptoms. I work with children and teenagers with anxiety. I also work with clients who have other symptoms. I treat families for resolution of conflicts and for close relationships andother client issues. My goal is to help my clients become happier, more calm and able to say yes to their lives.

I use an integrated approach to provide individual counseling and play therapy services to adults and children. I am interested in aiding clients who deal with difficulties surrounding divorce, daily stressors, relationship issues, anxiety and depression. I intend to focus on working with children and families attempting to readjust to the rules and roles of the new family structure that can surface. I will provide a safe environment where clients can work collaboratively with me to identify concerns and process them. I will help clients use this new awareness to determine effective coping and communication skills.
