We built our practice on our combined 40+ years of mental health training and experience, as well as our commitment to honoring God by serving others with the resources He has provided. Our mission is to Provide Strategic Solutions for Mental Health and Wellness through Christ-like care.
SCS is currently owned and operated by Jimmy Snow, LPC-S, Lori Allen, LPC-S, and Sandra Allen, LPC-S. SCS has office locations in West Monroe and Ruston, La. and serves much of Northeast Louisiana.
SCS has numerous Professional Counselors who provide counseling and therapeutic services for individuals, couples, families and children to treat a variety of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, relationship conflicts, parenting, child behavioral issues, life transitions, and personal growth.

Many of the SCS Counselors are trained in specific evidence-based therapies including EMDR, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Play Therapy. We are one of only 3 agencies in North/Central Louisiana that provides Neurofeedback Brain Training Therapy.
We collaborate with many community agencies and institutions including the University of Louisiana at Monroe to help train Psychology and Counseling students.
