Message from Therapist

Are you ready to explore the possibility of change in your life? It takes courage to ask for help, and it seems that you have begun that journey. Are you struggling with anxiety, the fear of failure, unexplained sadness, or communication issues? Are you witnessing your teenager struggling in life socially, emotionally, or psychologically? Whether it is you or your teenage loved one, remember, It's okay to not be okay. Speak to a professional. In working together, we can promote growth by understanding the obstacles that you face and develop solutions that more than likely are found within yourself.

I work with clientele from teens (range 13 - 18) to adults. I approach counseling from an REBT/Existential perspective mainly, and also use other modalities as needed.

As a Catholic, I understand the importance of one's faith and its connection to mental health.  My goal as a counselor is to be your guide on a journey of healing and understanding. 

Feel free to reach out to schedule a free 15 minute consultation.


Practice Info

Bio:
Francisco (Cisco) Gonzales is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Louisiana. He received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Louisiana State University and a Master's of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. He is also a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas.

Throughout Cisco's life, he has been very involved in his Catholic faith starting at his conversion while attending Brother Martin HIgh School in Louisiana. While pursuing his studies, Cisco was commonly reading books about Catholic Theology or the lives of the Saints. It was not uncommon to find him at Christ the King Catholic Church in Louisiana in leading individuals in prayer or a bible study.

While in graduate school, Cisco focused on working in the field of substance use where he saw and counseled individuals with an array of presenting issues. One of his reasons for choosing this area of practice was the spiritual component of the 12 steps.

Cisco's theory in counseling is REBT and existential theory. Both theories can be applied to the spiritual with his Catholic clients. Cisco's counseling style is "the answer lies within" and he is just along for the journey to help you uncover it.
