Life Isn't Easy
If you are wanting to find ways to move forward in your life, we can help. Getting the help you need will not only help you, but it will impact and inspire those who are most important in your life.
Life’s challenges can be difficult to navigate, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. At Be Inspired Counseling & Consulting, we are here to walk alongside and support men through the counseling process. We help our clients find healthy ways to navigate their challenges, and along the way help them build self-esteem and grow in their relationships and as an individual. If that is something that you are interested in, you have come to the right place.
How Can Counseling Help Me?
Our caring therapists can help you navigate a variety of mental health concerns and help you grow through the challenges you face. Counseling can provide a place for you to talk about the struggles you are experiencing in a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We help you gain insight into your challenges and develop effective strategies to address them so that you can figure out the next best step for you.
When we start down the path of healing we often gravitate towards counselors and individuals that understand what we are going through.
Our therapists are authentic, skilled, and compassionate. They specialized in diverse areas that affect men. This includes anxiety, depression, self-esteem, isolation, paternal mental health, relationship problems, and career issues, just to name a few. Below are just a couple of ways we support men through counseling in our Natchitoches, LA, and Alexandria, LA, counseling offices and online.
Anxiety/Depression
Anxiety or Depression can overwhelm you and take over your life. All of us experience some form of anxiety or depression in our lives. However, sometimes these feelings become overwhelming, and it can be tempting for us to push those feelings down.
However, when we deny our feelings we create pressure like when we drop a mentos into a coke and put the lid on quickly. The pressure will often build and the effects creep into parts of our lives creating distance between us and our loved ones.
Maybe you experience higher levels of irritability and anger. If any of this sounds familiar to you then we can help.
Counseling is a great tool to help men explore their emotions and to develop new skills to improve your life and relationships.
Our therapists offer anxiety and depression treatment to help with social anxiety, generalized anxiety, anxiety surrounding specific things or depression. Through counseling, we can help you get back to feeling like yourself.

Paternal Mental Health
Being a father is one of those exciting experiences that come with fear, uncertainty, excitement, and an amount of love you didn’t know you could feel. It is a rewarding experience, but it is a difficult journey. Like many things in our lives it doesn’t come with an instruction manual. Through counseling we can help you find your confidence in fatherhood.
Job Concerns
When it comes to working we often carry a heavy weight on our shoulders. We carry the responsibilities of not only the job, but the weight to provide for our families. Sometimes we deal with unpleasant emotions like doubt and anxiety. Sometimes our jobs become our identities, and if we change jobs, or are no longer able to work we are at risk for losing ourselves.
If any of those strike a chord with you then through counseling for men we can help you find your next steps. We can help you find yourself again, and help you move forward.
Anger
Do you experience intense emotions you struggle to control? You may feel overwhelmed by intense anger that seems to come out of nowhere and without warning. If you have difficulty managing the anger you feel and want to regain control of your thoughts and actions, then counseling may be for you.
Many times these impulsive or reactive behaviors can cause conflict in relationships, personally or professionally, leaving you to regret the things you said or did once you calm down from anger you experience.
Take back control of your anger before the anger problems you experience negatively affect your mental health, self-esteem, relationships, or life. Taking the first step towards change can be hard. Learning to cope with the anger you feel by knowing your triggers and alternate coping strategies you allow you to experience a greater sense of control and better relationships.
Relationship Struggles
If you find yourself struggling in your relationships, we are here to help. Whether it’s your friendships, romantic relationships, or family relationships, we want to help you find ways to interact and engage in those relationships in a healthy way.
Through counseling, you can learn to ways to understand how to improve your communication skills so you can feel good about the relationships you have.
The quality of your relationships really does determine the quality of your life, but most of us aren’t taught how to have healthy relationships. Our team of therapists can help you figure out how.
We also provide couples counseling if you are wanting to get help together.
Grief & Loss
Grief is not just one feeling. It’s a bunch of feelings all rolled into one.
Losing a loved one can be hard at any point in your life, but it can be even more challenging when you are trying to figure out who you are and where you envision yourself going in life.
It can be very lonely and isolating when you are grieving because sometimes your others don’t understand and you may be miles away from any support.
Grief counseling helps you make sense of it all so that you can find a new normal in the midst of the pain and loss you feel.
We know your mental health is important. It’s important when choosing a therapist to work with you that you find one you feel comfortable with. Here at Be Inspired Counseling & Consulting, our mental health professionals frequently work with men help them navigate the challenges they face.
We are located in Alexandria, LA, at 5501 Jackson Street right across from the Walmart Neighborhood Market and in Natchitoches, LA, at 304 University Parkway, within walking distance from Front Street.
When you come into our office space, we want you to feel comfortable. In the waiting room, you can help yourself to coffee, tea, water, and/or snacks at our coffee station. Both of our offices look and feel like a house, and when you are at our “house” we want you to feel comfortable. Your therapist will listen to your needs and goals to create an individualized plan with you to help you get where you want to be. If you have any questions at all, please reach out to us! We are here to help!
