Couples Counseling Therapists in New Orleans, LA

You are not just your struggles! I believe anyone can achieve wellness with therapy acting as your guide along the way. My goal is to get to know the whole you while building a therapeutic relationship with mutual respect and collaboration. I acknowledge that life can be tough and believe that the beauty in humanity is that we are not perfect. So let's tailor your therapy just for the unique individual that you are! I find it intrinsically healing and revealing to use techniques that are interesting to you such as making art, listening to music, mindfulness meditation, clay works etc.

Sometimes we just need a band-aid to get us through a rough patch, and other times a deeper dive into long-standing patterns and struggles is the right focus - both are valid approaches! Choosing the right therapist is an important step, so let's chat about questions you might have and make sure you get the right fit. I work with individuals, couples, and children, and from time to time I also offer group workshops. I have specialized training in EMDR, Play Therapy, and have over a decade of clinical experience. I am currently an LPC Board-approved clinical supervisor as well as an adjunct professor in Loyola's Counseling program.

Over the past decade, I have served in various roles, including child protection specialist for the state and a licensed social worker within the education system.

My name is Stevie, and I'm a compassionate therapist specializing in complex trauma, grief, and addiction.

The relationship you develop with your therapist is at the heart of the therapeutic work. I believe that through a strong working relationship and scientifically-supported therapeutic approaches, therapy can be a safe and productive space to address a wide array of difficulties emerging across the life span. I offer individual and group therapies and partner with my clients to create and bolster coping skills while highlighting their strengths in order to navigate life's unique challenges.

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 counseling services are based on three fundamental beliefs: people are creative beings with self-determined goals, thrive when empowered and involved in meaningful personal and professional roles, and are impacted by social justice and personal power issues on an individual, community, and global level.

My philosophy is "we have one life so live it". Sometimes this requires the help of a professional who can uncover what cannot be seen or provide a different perspective. Therapy is not meant to be long term. I aim to provide you with an improved sense of self and tools and skills you can use to live your best life. You are the expert on your life so together we develop a plan to assist you in getting the most out of it.

Thank you for consider seeing me for counseling. I see counseling as a process of collaboration between you, the client, and I, the counselor, in obtaining your goals. I work from a solution-focused orientation, which means that I assist you in breaking repetitive, nonproductive behavior patterns that are affecting you, your family or marriage or relationship.

I believe in a very user friendly method of practice, and encourage clients to ask questions and let me know their concerns. Together we will determine what self-defeating behaviors are keeping you from reaching your potential and causing problems in your relationships. My style is down to earth and direct , while at the same time warm and empathic. With over 30 years experience as a psychotherapist , my goal is to provide a comfortable environment for change and growth.

Welcome! I approach therapy as a collaborative process aimed at developing insight, acceptance, and trust in the self. Making changes outside often requires us to first look inward to listen and understand; when you are able to make sense of your internal world, you are better equipped to build the life you want from a place of centered awareness. Through our work together, we create a compassionate space to examine relational patterns, process trauma, and ultimately make a new story for you centered in healing.

I work with clients who want to live meaningful, satisfying lives in the context of their relationships--with their own selves, with significant others and in their careers. I use a variety of methods in the context of the collaborative therapeutic relationship. I emphasize treating the whole person, not just the symptom, in a safe environment. I work well with clients who believe that "the examined life" is the best life to live. One of the major goals of psychotherapy is to help clients identify and to change self defeating behaviors."

Are you seeking change for yourself or in relationships? Making changes is challenging, and it's not something any of us can do alone. Together, we will create a space for you to bravely examine yourself, build on your strengths, heal, and work toward your hopes for the future. I work with individuals, couples (in a variety of relationship structures), and families from a culturally-informed, attachment-focused perspective. I have significant experience working with people who have experienced interpersonal/attachment trauma and ongoing stress, and the ways in which that impacts our relationship with self and others.
