Find a Therapist in Shreveport, LA

Have you been carrying so much for so long that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to simply be okay? Maybe you’re the one everyone relies on. You keep showing up, taking care of others, and handling responsibilities even when you’re running on empty. Everyone tells you how strong you are. What they don’t see is how much you’re managing behind the scenes. Your mind won’t slow down. You replay conversations, overthink decisions, worry about disappointing others, and struggle to put your own needs first. Some days, it feels easier to pull back from certain people, places, or situations because everything feels overwhelming, or because you’re tired of feeling misunderstood. You may be navigating grief, trauma, difficult relationships, or experiences that still shape how you see yourself today. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Healing is possible, and at Genuine Hearts Treatment Clinic, we are here to support you on that journey. I’m Regina Rye, Founder of Genuine Hearts Treatment Clinic (GHTC). Over the years, I’ve seen how trauma, loss, and life’s challenges can leave people feeling disconnected from themselves and unsure of how to move forward. That’s why I’m passionate about helping women, men, and adolescents heal, grow, and reconnect with who they truly are. At GHTC, we help clients work through trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and low self-esteem so they can feel more confident, at peace, and grounded within themselves. Together, we help you: • Quiet racing thoughts and reduce anxiety • Let go of self-criticism and perfectionism • Set healthy boundaries without guilt • Heal from painful experiences • Build confidence, self-worth, and resilience • Strengthen relationships and communication • Feel more present in your daily life Our goal is more than helping you get through the day. We want to help you feel like yourself again: more confident, at peace, and able to enjoy your life. At Genuine Hearts, we believe healing begins when you no longer have to do life alone. When you’re ready for support, we’re here to help. Schedule a free consultation and take the first step toward lasting change. There should be no shame in seeking the aid of a helping professional. To me, it shows strength. The benefit is that you get to process your emotions with a neutral party and feel safe being open and vulnerable, without fear or judgment.

I work with autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD teens and adults — but if I'm being honest, the parents are where I really shine. You're raising a kid whose brain didn't come with a manual, in a world that keeps insisting there should have been one. You've read the books. You've sat through the IEP meetings armed with a binder, a pen, and a barely-concealed sense of dread. You've googled things at 1 am that you never in your life expected to become an expert in. You're basically fluent in a language no one else in the house speaks, and you still end most days wondering if you're doing any of it right. Here's the good news: your kid isn't broken, and neither are you. You just happen to be doing one of the hardest, least-credentialed jobs on the planet — translator between your child's brain and an environment that wasn't built for it. My job is to help you find where the actual friction is, so home can stop feeling like a hostage negotiation and start feeling like, well, home. I use a strengths-based, non-compliance-based, DBT-informed approach with both kids and parents — because "just be more consistent" is not a strategy, it's a Pinterest quote, and you deserve better than that.

By creating a space for you to feel safe, valued, and empowered, my goal is to help you navigate whatever life circumstances you find yourself facing. You will gain new tools for your toolbox to utilize for coping, growing, healing, and moving forward on your journey. I am practical in my approach of counseling and use a variety of methods to come alongside you as you walk your path.

With over 30 years of clinical experience, I provide compassionate, empowering, and affirming counseling services that are client-centered and goal-oriented and that develop and enhance my client's strengths and build their coping skills to manage the symptoms of a wide range of mental health conditions. I practice from a philosophy of empowering my clients to achieve balance with their mental and emotional health and to maintain healthy boundaries that support their well-being. I offer therapy sessions that support the goals for change that my clients are seeking for themselves once we both understand what my client wishes to see differently in their lives, then we can explore the interventions that best support the therapeutic work we will do together. In our therapy sessions, we will learn and practice concepts from interventions such as motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy principles, cognitive processing therapy strategies, acceptance and commitment principles, and dialectical behavior therapy strategies to help you build a toolbox of skills and techniques the lead to your success with managing the effects of adversity and challenges in your life.

One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. I applaud you on taking this first step in investing in your growth and personal development. Sometimes, we are faced with major life changes or challenges that alter our perspective on life, which directly impact our mental, emotional, and social well-being. By promoting a safe, judgement free, and shame free environment, my aim is to allow you the freedom to explore your experiences with a sense of curiosity, compassion, openness, and acceptance. I offer face-to-face and online counseling to individuals, families and groups in the Houston, Texas area to help them develop the skills necessary to successfully overcome challenges in life. My background as a high school and college counselor also gives me a wealth of experience to draw from when working with families, adolescents, and young adults. As your counselor, I believe that the healing process begins by creating a safe environment and building and maintaining a strong therapeutic relationship. My ultimate goal is to empower you to make positive life changes while helping you develop confidence in your ability to achieve a healthy balance in all aspects of your life.
