Getting to know Richard Babin

Hi there, I'm Richard! I typically chat with a cup of coffee in my hand-you'll notice me sipping on it as we talk. It's a practice I picked up as a child while visiting a family member with a mental illness. We used to bond over coffee, discussing life's intricacies. That memory has stayed with me ever since! I can't get enough of my work. I find myself endlessly drawn to exploring human nature and the pursuit of inner peace. It's an ongoing journey into understanding people and what brings them peace. I'm a fitness enthusiast and a Cajun cook. I'm not sure they go together, but I embrace the contrast. I'm told I have a great sense of humor. I'll take you seriously, but I can't say the same for myself! My wife and I love our four dogs. I earned my Bachelor's degree from the University of Louisiana and completed my Master's in Social Work at Louisiana State University. My approach I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an approach proven effective for depression. It targets the unhelpful thought and behavior patterns that contribute to your depression. You'll learn ways to challenge those thoughts and actions, short-circuiting the depression response. It's not just talking-it's about giving you real tools and practical skills to handle the onset of depression and the challenges it creates. We also use Insight-Oriented Therapy to get to the hidden roots of your depression. Together, we'll uncover why you're feeling this way, including things you might not even realize are bothering you. By exploring your thoughts and feelings in a safe space, insight-oriented therapy helps you make sense of your emotions and learn more about yourself. It's like shining a light on the darker corners of your mind to find out what's going on so you can grow from it. Think of it as a journey of self-discovery where you work closely with a therapist to explore your inner world and find new perspectives on your experiences.
