Meet Andrew, your guide to inner peace
Welcome to the story behind Andrew J. Hebert, LPC. Discover the passion and philosophy that drive a commitment to helping you navigate life's challenges, find inner peace, and take back control of your mental and emotional well-being. We're dedicated to supporting you, no matter your age, cultural background, gender, or sexual orientation.
A journey rooted in empathy
Growing up, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact of mental and emotional turmoil on family members. This early exposure ignited a deep understanding and a powerful conviction: I could help others. I attended Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, LA where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology/Criminal Justice. I remained at Nicholls State as a Graduate Assistant where I earned my Master of Arts in Psychological Counseling in 1998. I then registered with the Louisiana Licensed Professional Counselors Board of Examiners, completed my Internship, and became a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in 2001. My path to becoming a counselor was driven by a desire to empower individuals and their loved ones, ensuring they never feel powerless over the grip that mental health disorders can have. It's about breaking free and finding your strength.
My unique path to empowerment
My counseling philosophy, while eclectic, is firmly anchored by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This approach recognizes that our thoughts and how we process information profoundly influence our emotions and subsequent behaviors. By gently guiding you to alter your perspective on challenges, we can reshape your emotional responses and ultimately transform your actions. It's about empowering you to reframe your narrative and reclaim your inner peace.
Championing the underdog
My deepest satisfaction comes from helping those who, despite facing adversity, are truly motivated for change. These are the individuals who refuse to accept the role of a victim, approaching challenges with a resilient 'say I won't' mindset. Witnessing them empower themselves, overcome fears, and regain control of their lives is not just inspiring; it's the very essence of why I do what I do. I am here to support your breakthrough, fostering resilience and embracing all competencies.
"Andrew cares about me as an individual. I'm not just a client or a case number. He sees me and accepts me for who I am and who I want to be."
