What We Offer at Healing Hearts Counseling in Denham Springs

At Healing Hearts Counseling, we don’t believe in standing still.

Mental health research evolves. Trauma research evolves. Brain science evolves.

We do too!

If you’re looking for trauma counseling in Denham Springs, therapy for your child or teen, medication management, individual counseling, or sports psychology coaching near Baton Rouge;  here’s what you should know about us:

We are constantly training.

Not because we have to, but because your story deserves our best.

Trauma Therapy for Children and Teens

Gabi and Alex recently completed training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

TF-CBT is one of the most researched, evidence-based treatments for children and teens who have experienced trauma. It provides a structured way to help kids:

• Process difficult experiences
• Reduce anxiety, fear, and intrusive memories
• Build coping skills
• Regain a sense of safety

When families are searching for a TF-CBT therapist in the Denham Springs or Baton Rouge area, this is the level of care they’re looking for.

We’re proud to offer it.

TBRI-Informed Counseling for Families

Gabi and Alex are also pursuing training in Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) — a connection-based model especially helpful for foster, adoptive, and high-needs children.

TBRI helps us see behavior through the lens of nervous system regulation and attachment, not just discipline.

If you have a child who:
• Lives in fight-or-flight
• Struggles with big behaviors
• Has experienced early trauma
• Feels “hard to parent”

You are not alone. There are tools that work.

TBRI-informed therapy changes the tone of homes. 

Medication Management & GeneSight Testing

Our psychiatric nurse practitioner offers medication management along with GeneSight Psychotropic Testing.

GeneSight testing analyzes how your genetics may affect the way your body processes certain psychiatric medications.

For some clients, that means:
• Fewer medication trials
• More targeted prescribing
• Less guessing
• Greater confidence in decisions

If you’re searching for GeneSight testing near Baton Rouge, we’re happy to talk through whether it’s a good fit for you.

Sports Psychology & Performance Coaching

I recently completed certification in sports psychology and now offer mental performance coaching in Denham Springs and the greater Baton Rouge area.

This work isn’t just about sports.

It’s about:
• Performing under pressure
• Recovering mentally from injury
• Strengthening confidence
• Managing nerves
• Leading well

I work with athletes, teams, businesses, high achievers, and organizations who want to strengthen the mental side of performance because mindset matters everywhere.

ADHD Evaluations

Our psychiatric nurse practitioner also provides comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, including ADHD assessments for children, teens, and adults. If you’re wondering whether focus issues, impulsivity, or executive functioning struggles may be ADHD, we offer thoughtful, thorough evaluations and medication consultation, not rushed checklists.

Why We Invest in Ongoing Training

Graduate school gave us foundations, but excellence requires continued growth.

We pursue advanced training because:
• Trauma science is expanding
• Brain research is evolving
• Families deserve evidence-based care
• We take this work seriously

We don’t just maintain our licenses.

We sharpen them.

Because when you trust us with your child…
your story…
your anxiety…
your trauma…

That’s sacred work.

If you’re looking for child counseling, trauma therapy, medication management, or sports psychology in Denham Springs, we would be honored to walk with you.

Your story matters.
Your healing matters.

We are committed to doing the work to serve you well.

Better Your Mental Health. Better Your Life.
