Anger Management Therapists in Mid-City, New Orleans, LA

Ideally I work with clients that have goals and know what they want out of therapy or are willing to explore their issues in depth. Therapy can be a lot of work and it can be difficult but together we can build a good foundation for you to safely stand and build even more.

I work primarily with issues of depression, anxiety, child abuse, neglect, grief, and trauma. Helping someone through difficult issues is a collaboration between therapist and client. It takes courage to show up for therapy and trust someone to help! I practiced and taught meditation as a means for recovering from trauma for 30 years before becoming a therapist. Meditation develops a stronger, calmer mind, but doesn't completely clear psychological issues, unless you've the luxury of years of intense practice. For faster results than talk therapy or meditation alone, I integrate them to build self-awareness and stability.

We all have problems, habits and "quirks" of personality and wonder sometimes when life gets rough, whether we need therapy or if it would be a good option. When life is getting on top of you, when you begin to feel strong emotions that you didn't know that you had, when you feel lost or hopeless or just want to reach your full potential, then give yourself a chance to seek a new solution. I can help. I believe that each individual is creative and unique and that there is no "one" way to be happy or live life. I now offer EMDR via Telehealth.

I have over 26 years experience in private practice. I have also been a counselor educator for 20 years teaching at the graduate level and providing practicum and internship supervision for students entering the counseling field. I believe the counseling process is all about change, that is, changing current behaviors, thinking patterns, or feelings. Counseling will allow you opportunities to explore areas of concern, while challenging you to think and/or behave in new ways pertaining to the issues in your life. I believe this can be achieved through a balance of guidance, encouragement, support, and feedback.

I work best with healthy people who want to take their life, relationships, goals etc to the next level. I prefer clients who are committed to honesty and enjoy exploring their fullest potential.I use many different types of therapy including Gestalt therapy. Gestalt therapists work on helping to reprogram self-sabotaging patterns and belief systems. This work can be applied to improving relationships, health, motivation, goal achievement, and self-actualization. It is a very gentle process and results are fast and dynamic! I am also trained in Psychedelic harm reduction and integration.

People turn to counseling when they feel most overwhelmed. Failed attempts to fix complex issues have only added to the piling frustration. One of the rewards in being a therapist is the inspiration I get in watching my clients grow despite their endured suffering. My name is Donny, and I would like to be the first to congratulate you on making the first step towards wellness. I've helped families reduce tension, marriages regain long-lost attunement, and aided those suffering from depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and loss. And I would like to help you get back on track.

Do you want to make a change, reach a goal, or better understand yourself? Do you have trouble with relationships? Are depression or anxiety getting in your way? Put my experience and expertise to work for you. I specialize in relationship issues, trauma and substance abuse. Other specialties include: setting healthy boundaries, dealing with difficult life changes, overcoming obstacles, and moving toward personal empowerment.

As a therapist, it is my belief that everyone deserves to have a safe empathic, non- judgmental environment to which they can begin to better understand themselves and others. Therapy provides the opportunity for growth and change and eventually, a better understanding of one's self. This process is a collaboration to discover the desired lifestyle and happiness we all want. I offer a non judgmental warm supportive environment to help my clients process and express themselves.

Are you feeling unfulfilled, unhappy, anxious, or generally not your best you? Have you experienced difficulty navigating through hard times and sorting through your own thoughts? Allow me to assist in establishing and maintaining a safe space of comfort, without judgment, to find your balance. I support clients in processing the obstacles they face, challenging and strengthening them to identify hidden resources and reflect upon past successes to adapt and grow going forward.

In dealing with stressors, life events, challenging relationships, and traumatic experiences we develop patterns to keep ourselves safe and sane; which often also limits us. The challenge is unlearning these narratives and trusting our innate wisdom. When we feel safe, secure, and accepted for who we are we can begin the process of shedding what doesn’t work for us, while exploring our untapped potential. I believe you are the master of your story; and I hope to create a safe space where we can gain insight about your inner battles, develop skills to enhance holistic development, and realize the potential of your authentic self.

​Hi, My name is Lori Arceneaux. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience in adoption and maternity services as well as counseling. I have a particular interest and expertise in working with those touched by foster care and/or adoption. For the majority of my career, I have worked with children and teenagers. I enjoy working with these age groups and assisting them with navigating the often complex emotions that accompany adolescence. Also, I work with families and couples who are in need of assistance of strengthening and improving their relationships and addressing their life stressors.

When I work with clients, my goal is to address the issues that they are currently facing, and strive to create a better atmosphere for them to live, and grow. I have helped clients through depression, and other mood disorders. I have also worked with couples from pre-marital counseling to infidelity and relationship issues. I work from a client-centered orientation, helping you become better versions of you.

My intention as a therapist is to create a reflective space and to bring you clarity and support. We will explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and together we will consider whether they are working for you. We will expand your awareness of your personal processes and protective patterns, both internally and in relationships and how these play out in your mind and body. With this deeper understanding of your self, we will shift perspective and create more opportunity for choice. My role is to facilitate the removal of barriers that prevent connection to your self and others through a systemic and interpersonal approach.

Whether you're dealing with day-to-day stressors, relationship issues, or exploring deeper aspects of your life, I'm here to help. In my practice, I integrate mindfulness techniques and take a systemic approach, considering how various aspects of your life intersect and influence each other.

You are not alone. Sometimes we need someone else to see us, hear us, hold space for us, and help us find clarity or ease pain. Prioritizing yourself and your mental well being is one of the bravest things you can do. Therapy can help you regain your sense of self, adjust better to changes, and find the support needed to thrive. As an Adlerian practitioner I believe that, as unique individuals, people should be validated, feel connected, and made to feel significant. Therapy sessions focus on the entire individual, not just the parts that need improvement.

Therapy is an active process and I believe that each individual has the capacity to live their life in a different way. Through collaboration, we will consider your history and how that has built today's version of you. Creating an empathic, affirming, and non-judgmental space is a guiding principle in my approach to working with individuals, couples, and families. I have pointed experience working alongside those navigating more difficult, transitional phases of their lives, such as grief, loss, trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression.

My approach is grounded in social justice work, Humanistic Psychology, Jungian theory, and Person Centered practices. My specialization is in somatic therapy and expressive art therapy and I am a practitioner of Generative Somatics and a facilitator of the Be Present Empowerment Model. I work with individuals, adults,adolescent and children as well as couples and families. I welcome anyone interested in exploring and healing a broad spectrum of life experiences. These include: Identity Issues, Personal Empowerment, Self love and acceptance, Relationship issues, Emotional and behavioral obstacles, trauma and abuse as well as life transitions and personal growth goals.

Welcome and thank you for your consideration! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Louisiana and also board certified by The National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC). I love the work that I do and am passionate about joining with individuals to address their concerns.I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Hi, I’m Eric. I believe the foundation of helpful therapy is a trusting and supportive relationship. I provide a safe and compassionate space where clients are encouraged to gain self-awareness, while honoring the strengths and values each person brings with them. A process of exploration into your own experience - of thought, emotion, sensation, and behavior - can empower a greater ability to make conscious, creative choices toward personally meaningful change for a more fulfilling life. Gradually, this process can transform the way you relate to yourself, others, and the world.
