I am a dedicated and compassionate counselor with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Concordia University Wisconsin. I have experience working in substance abuse treatment, as well as providing individual and group therapy in both mental health clinic settings and public schools.

Hi there! I'm Casey Gonzales, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 20 years of experience supporting adults and adolescents through life’s challenges. I earned my Master’s degree from Augusta State University and am licensed in Louisiana, with telehealth availability for clients in select states.

Therapist

Virtual • Benton, LA


Hi, I'm Rob. I believe therapy works best when you feel accepted, understood, and free to be yourself. I strive to meet people where they are and create a space where you can talk openly without fear of judgment. I work with adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, grief and loss, stress, anger, ADHD, and men's issues. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or stuck in patterns they no longer want to repeat. Whether you're struggling with addiction, coping with loss, dealing with difficult emotions, or trying to make sense of life's challenges, you don't have to do it alone. With more than two decades of experience, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and develop practical tools that support long-term emotional health and personal growth. For clients who request it, I also incorporate Christian counseling into our work together.
