Steve Whatley, MA, PLPC
Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor

Do you find yourself having too many days when life just stinks? Are you having uncomfortable feelings that just don’t seem to let go? Is there a painful memory that lingers and jerks you around so you can’t seem to find any peace at all? You are not alone and I welcome the opportunity to work with you as you learn to live through and beyond the pain and messiness that life gives us.

 

I am a Trauma-focused counselor based in Louisiana. I earned my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. I use ACT and Trauma Focused ACT (TFACT) to lead clients to have healthy lives in the present after trauma. I make use of the principles from The Body Keeps the Score and apply them to my trauma counseling. I am trained in EMDR and CBT and can lead clients who are living with OCD through Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) therapy or ACT with ERP. I seek to counsel with Spirit guiding me and integrate biblical teachings, scripture and prayer as requested or allowed by my clients.
