Cecelia Lanaux

I bring to my work both professional ( LCSW/ Social Work) training and decades of lived experience. As a first generation American who grew up on the Louisiana bayous, I have traveled widely through Europe, India and many other parts of the world immersing myself in diverse cultures, faiths, and perspectives. I am well versed in the arena of substance abuse and recovery work. I have supported people through the dying process, grief and loss; and, have helped many walk through their fears, their sense of hopelessness, despair and lack of purpose. I approach anxiety and depression holistically by focusing on the mind/ body/ spirit connection. My own journey has taught me that healing is always possible and that we are all WORKS IN PROGRESS.

My approach to therapy is eclectic, creative, compassionate and non judgmental. You can tell me anything! My role as therapist is to meet you where you are, honor your story, and walk alongside of you as you discover your authentic self, your own resilience, strength and purpose.

I offer a safe and supportive place where you can explore, heal and grow. It is all about the client/ therapist relationship, rooted in trust and affirmation. You can be assured that your voice and your story will be heard. No matter how overwhelming the challenges you face are, you will know that you are not alone. You will feel understood and connected. My greatest joy is to ease the suffering of others by empowering people to move past the roadblocks and curve balls life throws at us all. You will gain new information, embrace different perspectives , and be given a toolbox of coping and problem solving skills.
