Welcome. For decades, I have had the honor of helping people on their journey to overcome difficult life challenges. I am humbled by the trust that so many have gifted me over that time. The first step on our journey is to create a clear understanding of what our work together is intended to accomplish; where are we going and why? Next, we will create a roadmap designed to reach that destination. Movement toward that goal will be created through the introduction of new tools, skills, and insights. We will figure out what are the roadblocks that are preventing you from reaching your goals and then work to remove them. And, do this as quickly as possible. I am the author of Monster Relationships: Taming the Beasts that are Killing Your Relationships.
- Specializing in couples counseling, the treatment of anxiety, depression, substance abuse, overcoming creative blocks, and survivors of sexual abuse.
- Check of my YouTube Channel, Positively Psyched with Rod Louden for marriage and counseling tips.
- Author, "Monster Relationships: Taming the Beasts that are Killing Your Relationships." Monster's (AKA one's relationships with his or her own problems) want you to suffer. I show you how to change these relationships in order for you to liberate your Self and experience life on your terms, not theirs.
- Therapy is not a way of life. As a Narrative/Cognitive Behavioral therapist, I work from a solution focused perspective. Life is a series of problems. By becoming a great problem solver, one puts oneself in a position to live an extraordinary life; one based on the expression of positive states of mind, not fear, anxiety, or depression.
