Male Therapists in Bossier City, LA

I discovered at a young age that I love talking with and getting to know others. It became a kind of mission to figure out what other people were passionate about and what they had going on in their lives. I realized that having a genuine connection with someone you can trust can be incredibly beneficial. This is the type of environment I hope to create in our sessions. Really and truly my goal is to work along side of you, as you create meaningful change in your life.

My practice specializes in marriage counseling and couple therapy. I also work with individuals on a wide-range of mental health, career transition, substance use, and life transition issues. I have worked with more than 2,800 couples in my career, addressing relationship concerns and finding solutions to chronic dissatisfaction, infidelity, poor communication, intimacy problems, and family conflict. For persons who are uncertain about remaining in their marriage, "discernment counseling" is available to help an ambivalent spouse gain clarity about their relationship commitment and options for bringing about needed change.

Jenkins Counseling Services,LLC goal is to help empower individuals and families to identify problems, set goals and utilize their strengths in working towards reaching positive outcomes. 20 Years honorable service with the United States Air Force (Retired).

Welcome to my private practice. I work with families, adults, couples, and parents. I work with my individual clients to manage stress, build more satisfying relationships, manage life transitions, and improve self-esteem. I help couples improve communication, build closer connections, and increase sexual intimacy. I work with parents to manage stressors of family life, including balancing family with personal care needs, and addressing their child's emotional or learning difficulties. I teach and/or supervise for Louisiana Tech University, University of Louisiana Monroe, Northwestern State University, and Louisiana State University in Shreveport. I frequently present to mental health centers, community organizations, and schools.

An ideal client would be one that is "sick-and-tired-of-being-sick-and-tired." Do you know what I mean? If being "sick-and-tired" begins to describe how you feel, I'm the therapist for you! If you need a great listener, someone who will help you organize and prioritize what's most important to you, then I'm your therapist. To be clear, I'm only interested in clients who are ready to make changes in their lives. For maximum benefit, you must be ready to make changes in order to receive the maximum benefit of the time and money you are investing in yourself. After all, who has time and money to waste? Said no one.

My name is John Gianforte. I am a licensed professional counselor, and licensed marriage and family therapist in Louisiana. My graduate degree is in clinical psychology. I am in full-time private practice in Shreveport Louisiana. My career path has been diverse, and includes serving as the administrator and clinical director of a state and federally funded non-profit mental health clinic, legislative and legal advocacy for mental health services, and developing expertise in forensic mental health, hypnotherapy, and evidence based counseling interventions.

The counseling relationship is built on trust. What I hear most from my clients is that I am real. I want my clients to know that I genuinely care about them. I consider it an honor that they are willing to share their lives with me. I practice acceptance with no judgment, while at the same time pushing for healthy change. My belief is that there is always hope.

Clients who want assistance with a specific concern, want to enhance their sense of self-understanding or their overall mental wellbeing. I provide a safe and confidential environment for my clients in Northwest Louisiana to openly share their inner-most thoughts, feelings, fears, desires and hopes. I encourage my clients to own their therapeutic process by fully participating in developing and implementing their therapy plan.

I will be a source of honest support, deep listening, understanding, change processes and, at times, direct advice. I have a passion for working with people to create joyful, more satisfying, balanced, and interesting lives. The purpose of therapy is to offer a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment to find perspective and solve problems. LGBTQA+ friendly, anyone is safe here. I have worked with clients with mild issues and those with lifelong patterns that require a deeper process. If you find the strength to bring yourself here, we will collaborate to help you live a better life.

Navigating life's transitions demands both resilience and a committed guide. With nearly two decades of experience as a counselor, I focus on helping individuals navigate difficult transitions. I perceive challenges—be it stress, anxiety, career transitions, or relationship troubles—not as barriers but as opportunities for growth. My experience is broad, from community agencies to educational settings, and extends internationally, including six years in Colombia working with intercultural couples/families and expatriates. These experiences have refined my ability to facilitate change across various cultural contexts.

Hi, I’m Eric. Depression and life’s stress can leave us feeling overwhelmed, hopeless and scared. Someone who cares about doing their best for their loved ones and tuning in to their needs can still find themselves feeling sad, overwhelmed or worn out. Sometimes, we work so hard trying to do the right thing we can almost forget who we are or why we are doing all this. If you are here, that is a sign you are open to make a change. You are primed to do something good for yourself. You are ready to care for the caregiver that works so hard for everyone else. Most of all, you are set to get onto a path you can feel proud of.

Clients of all ages know that authenticity is essential to the therapy process. This is why I strive to create and maintain a space where they can come to be truly and empathically understood in a world suffering from reactive misunderstanding. The goals that come with seeking a satisfied state of being are daily for all of us. In my clients I see unique whole persons with stories worth listening to and knowing with a healer's intention. Together we find balance between the extremes and learn to repair and renew the powerful interactions between mind, body, and emotional experience. Self-care is essential for a well-loved existence.

Life can be challenging, and we all encounter moments when we need support and guidance. As a dedicated counselor in Shreveport, I understand firsthand the difficulties you may be facing. My name is Jesse Fallis, and I am here to help. I am committed to empowering individuals like you to overcome obstacles and embrace a fulfilling life.

Have you been struggling to make the progress you have been wanting? Are you dealing with barriers that seem to keep coming up? Perhaps it is time to stop facing these challenges alone. I see the therapeutic relationship as one that should grow and develop along healthy lines, where effort and intentionality are important and mistakes are learning opportunities to work on those life areas that are so often neglected, covered up or avoided all together. Maybe then some of those issues don't have to be so daunting.

If you are struggling with emotional pain from life’s many difficulties, you have come to the right place for help. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, loss, or a difficult relationship, Andy has a proven track record of helping clients get to a "better place". As a LPC and LMFT, Andy really enjoys helping individuals, couples, and families find more peace, joy and stability in their lives. For over 21 years he's been in private practice and taught future counselors at Louisiana Tech University. Andy has also had the privilege of having worked for The Dr. Phil Show providing aftercare for many guests of the show.

The decision to seek help is an act of enormous courage. The suffering that emerges from struggles with mental health and substance use issues, problem gambling, and life-altering events can leave us feeling overwhelmed, lost, and alone. As your therapist, I am here to provide compassion and understanding as you embark on the sometimes painful but inevitably rewarding road to recovery and wellness. Therapy includes periods of progress and set-backs and the road is often not clear. I believe in the power of therapy as a catalyst for self-discovery, reconnection, and change.
