Self-Care Through the Lens of Biblical Connection

September 19, 2024 by Lori Allen Leave a Comment

As a counselor, I work to help people get mentally, emotionally, and spiritually healthier overall.  Something I talk a lot about is self-care. Most people think of things like taking a hot bath, getting a massage, etc.  But self-care is more about how we live our daily lives, the choices we make and how we […]

Overcoming Fear

August 14, 2023 by Natalie Willard, PLPC, PLMFT Leave a Comment

I’ll start by saying this post is ironic since I’m fearful someone other than myself reading it.  So, if you are reading this, I decided to listen to myself this time! Fear is something that everyone experiences throughout their life.  When you hear the word “FEAR”, what comes to mind?  Maybe a phobia that you […]

You Are What You Think

March 22, 2021 by Lori Allen

I’ve worked as a counselor for almost 20 years now.  Over the years, the most important thing I have learned is…you are what you think.  We have all had life experiences that lead us to think certain things about ourselves, others, and the world around us.  Unfortunately, when we have negative life experiences, we often […]

How Do You View The Mountains In Your Life?

June 26, 2020 by Lori Allen

I love mountains.   I could look in awe at them forever.  Maybe it’s because I’ve always lived in Louisiana flat lands and don’t get to enjoy their beauty often.  Something about them seems so majestic. But the reality is, mountains can be very scary and treacherous.  Climbing a mountain takes a lot of motivation, energy and endurance and […]

Is It Worry or Anxiety…Or Both?

April 7, 2020 by Lori Allen Leave a Comment

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, Anxiety is the most common mental illness in the US affecting around 40 million adults.  This statistic was determined before the Pandemic.  I would bet that the number is increasing day by day.  There is a lot to worry about.  So much uncertainty.  Will I get sick?  […]

A New Normal: Adjusting to life during COVID 19

March 25, 2020 by Lori Allen Leave a Comment

So much change in such a short amount of time.  That’s what I keep hearing from my clients.  It has been the theme of all of our lives as we adjust to the spread of COVID 19.  Here in Louisiana, schools closed, then dine-in restaurants.  Then, we get the news that Louisiana has the fastest […]
