I enjoy working with clients who are motivated for personal growth. I can help clients address grief, loss, and trauma as well as make life decisions. I help clients to understand their relationship with their inner child. I work with people from a variety of backgrounds including, but not limited to people disabilities, battered women, trauma victims, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and questioning people, and couples. My office is located in my home, and this provides a professional, comfortable, non-clinical atmosphere what my clients and I can work as a team for their healing and growth.

Darrell L. Galatas , LCSW
I like working with my clients on feeling everything and acting consciously — mindfully. I often incorporate Advanced Integrative Therapy, expressive techniques, EMDR, guided imagery, movies, literature, and music in the process. I have a lot of fun doing my work. Nurturing feels natural. The joy of discovery and the wonder of nature’s connections continually fascinate me!
I believe that after emotional wounding, trauma, or loss, one can heal and return to a state of self-acceptance as well as accepting of all the truths of the world, where we began, ideally. Thus, that childlike wonder returns. One can return to a playful and joy-filled experience of life. The doing takes second priority again to being! Being you for the joy of it! Consciously!

Joanne Harmon, RN, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, with a previous background as a Registered Nurse. My goal with clients is to learn about issues from their perspective and also how it relates to themselves and relationships. What compels a client to counseling are problems that affect both personal and relational aspects of their lives. I believe that a part of therapy is a process of reframing, rewriting one’s own dialogue and finding meaning in their issues, which can be very beneficial to those persons/couples/families that enter counseling.
In addition, I have a strong interest in supporting women and their families that are experiencing the challenges of Perinatal and Postpartum depression and anxiety. I am a member of Postpartum Support International and one of the volunteer Coordinators for Louisiana.

Walton H. Ehrhardt, EdD, LLC
Hi, and thank you for your further interest in me. I have practiced since 1973, working now with both male and female clients, ranging in age from five to eighty-five years. I enjoy work with individuals, and am very comfortable with couples and families. Because I have extensively trained for work with couples, I have over half of my practice working with couples. Major stress, life-situations, conflict, substance abuse, child-parent issues, loss, significant illness, trauma, death and dying, divorce, and re-marriage — these are situations that I confront in my therapy with individuals, couples, and families.
While Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is often the treatment of choice, I am well-trained (and teach) Psychodynamic Relationship Therapy, especially in my work with couples. Because each person is the product of the two previous generations (Parent and Grandparent), the therapist must be aware of those internalized and unconscious dynamics.
My personal life-experience (almost 50 years of marriage and now grandfather of nine) and my personal therapy have well-prepared me. I practice from a seasoned object relations theory base and integrate that with family systems — a great “marriage” of internal and external perspectives.

My approach to counseling incorporates cognitive-behavioral theories, family systems theories, as well as Mindfulness & Acceptance Based theories. I believe many of the problems we face in life are related to unhealthy thinking processes, which affect the way we feel & interact with others. I also believe that it is through our struggles that we can learn, grow & find meaning & value in life. You and I will work together to find ways in which your thoughts/beliefs about yourself & others may be causing emotional distress in your life or your relationships.
I’ve worked with people with a range of issues including those experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, relationship challenges, schizophrenia, and grief for 9 & 1/2 years. I believe I offer the support and guidance needed to assist you in learning healthy coping skills and addressing unwanted mental health difficulties.
