** I only do Individual Counseling.** I do not do any marital or couples counseling or family counseling. If your main reason for seeking counseling surrounds problems directly related to your spouse or partner, you should seek out a Marriage and Family Counselor. I also do not participate in any client relationships where child custody issues are currently present. If child custody issues should present during the therapist-client relationship, the client shall be referred out.
If you are seeking marital or couples counseling, I highly recommend Lynn Gresham, M.Ed., LPC. Lynn can be reached by phone at 225-803-2046 OR by email at LGFamilyCounseling@outlook.com.
With regards to my theoretical background, the theories and techniques I will use include, but are not limited to, client-centered therapy, cognitive-behavior therapy, play therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), rational emotive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic theory, systems approach and solution-focused therapy. I very often incorporate Attachment Theory in all specific therapies utilized. In respect to the individuality of every client, I will choose the theories and techniques that effectively meet the needs of the client.
