Erin Primeaux,Licensed Professional Counselor

Hello! My name is Erin Primeaux and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Lake Charles, LA working with clients all across Louisiana via telehealth. I work with adult clients with multiple areas of focus including: depression, anxiety, stress, grief, perinatal mental health, and women's issues. The major theories and techniques I utilize in my practice include but are not limited to the following: client-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, strength-focused, reality therapy and motivational interviewing. These approaches will be used to help clients identify strengths as well as problem behaviors and patterns, and then use those strengths to facilitate meaningful and fulfilling change.

I enjoy working with adult clients (18+) that are looking for a collaborative approach to counseling. My communication style is compassionate and direct. I strive to empower clients through understanding and acceptance. My journey to being a therapist came out of a calling to come to understand and help others. I have found purpose and fulfillment in bearing witness to clients creating and embracing change in their lives. The counseling relationship is an important professional relationship in which you are a full partner. I see counseling as a process in which you, the client, and I, the counselor having come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals.

A first therapy session can sometimes be awkward, like an interview. My goal for our first session will be to understand as much as I can about your current concerns and communicate this understanding to you so that you feel heard. I will also want to know your expectations for our first session and hopefully together we can meet them.
