Your hostIn Kevin’s words
Like many who enter the helping professions—especially psychotherapists—the deep desire to assist others often stems from a role we develop early in life. For instance, a sensitive child frequently observes the pain of those around them and instinctively yearns to alleviate it.
Although I did not begin my professional journey as a therapist, my path naturally evolved toward this calling. Initially, I worked in marketing management for a small company in the Louisiana town where I grew up. Later, I transitioned to the tech world, where I contracted with IBM to teach classes and develop comprehensive training programs. Afterward, I joined a financial consulting firm, focusing on software development and support.
In 1991, I confidently hung out my shingle and launched my private practice.
Through decades of hands-on experience, I have serendipitously discovered a variety of alternative techniques that empower people to grow in far more profound and transformative ways than I ever initially imagined possible. These insights have naturally guided my evolution from a strictly traditional therapeutic approach to a richer, more holistic blend—one that integrates mind, body, spirit, and nature for truly lasting healing and personal development.
