Therapists for college students near University of New Orleans
My goal is simply to help people without frills or false promises. I take a direct and down to earth approach with the goal of equipping you to tackle life's inevitable ups and downs. Using pragmatic problem solving and therapy guided by physical activity, improvement of organization and time management, acceptance of flaws in ones self and in others, and an expansion of relationships. We will work to identify and reduce negative behavioral patterns and bad habits such as excessive use of substances, lying, cheating, and poor coping strategies, while simultaneously identifying and expanding positive behaviors and patterns such as spending time with loved ones, organization, hobbies, and creativity. If you can picture life as a pendulum, with negatives on one side and positives on the other, the goal is simply to have them even out. To have balance. Homeostasis. Balance won't always be there, the pendulum swings back and forth, but having the tools to understand and deal with changes is attainable. - Gregory
College is an important and exciting time for personal growth and development, which is why I love working with college students. I see a range of students in my practice including those who are familiar with therapy and those seeking support for the first time. Whether you are dealing with significant mental health challenges or just wishing to make your life work better, I am happy to support you in reaching your goals. Common themes addressed in my practice include: adjusting to college life, achieving greater independence, managing stress and anxiety, navigating difficult relationships, setting healthy boundaries, addressing body image and eating concerns, healing from past traumas and abuse, managing difficult or overwhelming emotions, feeling more comfortable in social situations, improving self-esteem and confidence, addressing compulsive and addictive behaviors, exploring sexuality, improving mood, and developing greater presence and mindfulness. My approach draws from my training in EMDR, DBT, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based modalities, as well as my own mindfulness practice. I strive to create a warm, open, and collaborative space to address difficulties, employing your unique strengths and resources to achieve your goals and create a life that is meaningful to you.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, off balance, always running behind, or spread too thin, counseling can provide the framework for a radical shift. College is a time when you are suddenly thrust into a new set of stressors and responsibilities, and trying to balance everything on your plate can be difficult! Together, we can take a holistic look at your life to identify where there is room to rewrite limiting or unhelpful beliefs and behavior patterns. We can explore new ways to respond to life's challenges and create a plan to manage everything in your schedule and in your personal life. My counseling style is empowering, nonjudgmental, and direct, with an emphasis on building distress tolerance and challenging or expanding perspectives that don't serve you. I believe in taking a dynamic approach to change, and can offer realistic tools that you can start putting to use in just a few sessions. Whether you are looking to manage stress, regulate emotions and behaviors, build time management skills, increase your ability to communicate effectively, or deal with past history that is intruding on your daily functioning, I'd love to help you discover the new habits and perspectives that will help get you to a place of lasting change and transformation. I work with clients seeking help with anxiety, stress management, depression, life transitions, trauma, grief and loss, and career issues. I am a former Tulane case manager and have also helped students with every kind of school issue imaginable, from roommate problems to navigating interactions with faculty to choosing your major. Let’s get started on building you a life that feels balanced and rewarding.
