Hi, I'm Eric. I'm a licensed counselor in Louisiana, Texas, and Washington. I enjoy counseling people with depression and anxiety. I specialize in counseling men with their issues usually depression, anxiety, addictions, work stress, self-esteem and relationship issues. Finally I am well trained in Couples Therapy. I really strive to focus on a person's strengths and get them on a path of living a life that they can be proud of.
The first session with me is simply getting to know each other. I may ask a few questions to get to know the problems you bring to therapy as well. Usually I have some insights or a plan of action before the end of the 1st session.
My greatest strengths as a provider relate to my passion for mental health for over 30 years and my 15 years experience in the field. I have taken in a vast amount of information over the years especially using it to understand Depression and Relationship issues.
Eric Herpin offers therapy covered by UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicaid in Texas.
After years of staying away from CBT thinking it was too boring and vanilla I returned 3 years ago. My client's and I were suddenly both happier so I stuck with it.
I often use Structural Family Therapy and similar therapies to reveal faulty communication patterns in couples. I like I because there is very little labeling of anyone as "bad". There are just insights into communication.
I often use principles of Solution Focused Brief Therapy when someone only has 6 available sessions such as Employee Assistance Program based counseling.
