Louie Associates Psychotherapy Services
Effective Counseling
Counseling is about building relational trust and consistency within the framework of an inviting, warm, and non-judgmental environment. We strive to create a place where individuals, couples, children, and families all feel welcome.
Treatment Philosophy
We believe each human comes to us with their own unique skills, assets, and resiliency. Our goal is to guide clients to tap into their inner personal and spiritual strengths despite the challenges they are addressing in therapy.
We also work from a systems perspective which means each individual was birthed into a family within a community, culture, and society. Our goal is to bring healing by helping clients understand their issues while seemingly personal, are also collective in nature. The healing is also geared to be holistic: emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual are interconnected and healing in all aspects must be considered for one’s overall health and wellness.
Counseling is Empowerment
With clinical knowledge, feedback, and guidance, clients can learn to let go of past issues, struggles, traumas, and addictions. We also offer a team-based approach to our work where we consult and ensure your case is reviewed by more than one therapist.
