The therapist was too bias for me. I have been through numerous of serious trauma and tragedies during after the pandemic. I lost both of my parents within than two years. I noticed my wife company was bad and contributed to delinquencies within my household. But my wife blamed it all on me and I did nothing but enhanced my household. The therapist was on my wife said no matter if she was right or wrong and blamed me for everything and I did nothing wrong. She told me that she doesn’t want to do business with me anymore because I wasn’t workable with. She said get another agent!

I believe that Stephanie Dean is an amazing individual and counselor. Not only does she care about her consumers, she also cares about other counselors that are new to the way things happen. I noticed that it was easy to speak openly because I feel that she truly empathizes when I express my issues and frustrations. She is always a joy to speak with and to. She will be an amazing asset wherever she goes.

Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.

While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Baton Rouge, we offer:

  • Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs): Specialized in social work and counseling for individuals, families, and groups.
  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs): Focused on relationship and family-related issues.
