Hello, I am Lisa Curley. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana. I am a compassionate and dedicated mental health professional with extensive experience in providing therapy through a cognitive-behavioral and trauma-informed lens. With a deep understanding of the complex interplay between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, I am committed to helping individuals navigate challenges and develop effective coping strategies.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is rooted in the principles of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, emphasizing the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My sessions are tailored to each individual's unique needs, fostering a collaborative and empowering environment. Recognizing the prevalence of trauma in many clients' lives, I integrate trauma-informed practices to create a safe space for healing.
My focus
I have worked with clients from almost all walks of life; those with serious mental illness and addictions to folks just trying to get their lives together and work through some stuff.
My communication style
I create an environment for honest and direct communication. I am informal and encourage clients to discuss their issues in the ways with which they are most comfortable .
My journey to mental healthcare
I made a mid-life career change to become a mental health therapist after seeing experiencing Hurricane Katrina. I observed the struggle so many folks had to find counseling and mental health care after this disaster, and it spurred me to seek the education needed to help others. I come from a personal journey in 12-Step programs and have over three decades of sobriety.
My goals for you
I find one of the most practical benefits of therapy is having accountability to someone when you want to make changes in your life. Part of treatment planning is letting the client determine the focus of therapy and any personal goals.
My first session with you
I endeavor to make a client's first session as comfortable and accessible as possible. The client is always in the driver's seat and determines the road ahead.
