We identify the underlying cognitive skills that are causing these issues and partner with the client to retrain these thinking processes.

Have worked with a variety of Child and Adolescent issues over the past 20 years. I have received training on a diversity of issues affecting Children and Adolescents. Including working with parents and teachers to develop the support needed in order to help the Child or Adolescent be as successful as possible.

Asa former Children's System Administrator for the Louisiana Behavioral Health Partnership, and a foster/adoptive parent, Mr. Nash has experience with a variety of child/adolescent concerns.

I have a gentle and down to earth approach with children and adolescent.

Raising a loving, united family today means facing pressures no generation has ever seen. The constant pace, screens, and stress leave many parents—and their kids—exhausted and disconnected. What should be years of joy and discovery can become seasons of anxiety, defiance, or quiet withdrawal. You might see your child losing motivation, melting down over small things, struggling in school, or shutting you out completely. It’s hard to know when to step in or what to say—and even harder to watch them hurt. At Rising Calm Center, we come alongside both parents and kids to restore understanding, structure, and peace in the home. Our Christian counselors create a warm, judgment-free space where young people can express emotions, build healthy coping skills, and grow in confidence—rooted in who God created them to be. We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most. We use developmentally attuned, evidence-based approaches—CBT, DBT skills training, play and art therapy, family systems work, and somatic calming tools—woven together with faith-based encouragement and practical family coaching. Together, we help your child: • Understand and manage big emotions • Reduce anxiety, irritability, and impulsivity • Strengthen focus, responsibility, and resilience • Heal from trauma, bullying, or self-esteem wounds • Improve communication and rebuild trust at home Whether your child is battling school stress, peer pressure, family conflict, or identity challenges, we help them—and you—find peace, purpose, and lasting growth. You don’t have to parent through the storm alone. Hope and healing can begin here. Call or email us today for your FREE CONSULTATION.

Shreveport is the commercial center of northwest Louisiana and sits at the cultural intersection of Louisiana Creole heritage, East Texas oil culture, and the Red River Valley's agricultural tradition — a distinctive mix that shapes a therapy community dealing with economic volatility, the psychological effects of an oil-dependent regional economy, and deep community divisions along racial and economic lines. The city has a majority African American population and significant healthcare infrastructure through Willis-Knighton Health System and Ochsner LSU Health, the latter of which provides important training programs for the local clinical community. Barksdale Air Force Base generates meaningful demand for military-focused therapists serving active-duty personnel and veterans in the region. Shreveport's conservative faith community means spiritually integrated therapy is a mainstream offering across many local practices.
