I’m Dr Bob (yes, Bob is really my last name)! I can't wait to hear what's going on in your world!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience helping children, adolescents, young adults, and college students navigate life’s challenges. I work with clients facing anxiety, depression, loneliness, ADHD, relationship issues, life transitions, and parenting stress. I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel understood, valued, and empowered to begin their healing journey.
I earned my Doctorate in Counselor Education from the University of New Orleans. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and active listening. I draw from evidence-based practices to meet each client’s unique needs and believe a genuine connection is the foundation for lasting change.
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I invite you to take the first step toward healing by reaching out. If we are a good fit, we will work together to create meaningful progress. If not, I encourage you to keep looking until you find the support that feels right for you.

With 30 years of experience, I've learned that healing is never 'cookie-cutter.' I bring a warm, compassionate, and uniquely personal perspective to therapy, honoring the individuality of your story with the wisdom of a clinician, wife, and mother.
After many years in social work, I've come to believe that the most effective therapy doesn't come from a one-size-fits-all approach, but from meeting you exactly where you are. I believe in deeply individualized care, partnering with you to identify your goals and help you make rapid, meaningful progress. With a unique perspective shaped by my own journey through challenges and trauma, I offer an open-minded, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly understood and empowered to heal.
My approach is client-centered and eclectic—I tailor my methods to your unique needs rather than one fixed style. I draw on CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy and specialize in trauma-informed care and grief counseling. Whether processing trauma, facing a crisis, or adjusting to change, I'm here to create a space where you feel heard and empowered.
I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to act as a supportive guide on your journey toward healing. You've already shown immense strength by looking for support. Let's work together to build on that strength - I invite you to book your first appointment today and to begin the next chapter.

As an African American woman of color, I know first-hand the unique issues of being a part of a population who has been marginalized.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) with over 12 years of experience working with adolescents and adults within the mental health field. I have conducted individual and group therapy with individuals who may struggle with depression, anxiety, suicidal idealization, trauma, and grief.
I obtained my Doctorate degree in Philosophy from Walden University, Master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling degree from Louisiana State University Health Science Center (LSUHSC), and a Bachelor's degree in Rehabilitation & Disability Studies from Southern University A&M College. I utilize multiple treatment approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solutions-focused brief therapy (SFBT), and mindfulness.
We each come to therapy searching for change, understanding, and relief. I believe counseling helps you accept what you cannot change and focus on what you can. Counseling is a personal journey to reach your goals, overcome struggles, and empower yourself. If you're ready to put in the work, I look forward to establishing a collaborative relationship with you.

Depression is a mental illness that can take over your life and cause a variety of psychological, emotional, and physical symptoms. Depressive disorders are a category of mood disorders that can cause immense loneliness, sadness, and disinterest. These periods can come and go daily or interrupt your life for months at a time.
Some of the most common types and symptoms of depression include:
Depression can have major impacts on someone’s life. Negative thoughts and low confidence can make reaching out feel impossible. We want you to know that you don’t have to deal with depression on your own. Consulting a mental health professional can help.
Therapy has become a buzzword in recent years, but you might still feel a social stigma about seeking counseling. We want to do everything we can to break the stigma surrounding mental health care. At Thriveworks, skilled and empathetic therapists help clients work through their depression using a variety of techniques and treatments.
Two common ways of treating depression are through talk therapy sessions and prescription medications. Oftentimes, therapists implement the use of both approaches in order to treat depression more holistically. Whether your depression is triggered by trauma from your past or ongoing stress at work or home, the right therapist or counselor can help you work through it by discussing your personal needs and goals.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an example of a type of psychotherapy frequently used to treat depression. CBT focuses on helping people notice and change negative patterns of thought and behavior.
At Thriveworks, we ensure our mental health services are easily accessible. Our online counseling services are a convenient way to get depression counseling help from the comfort of your own home.
