About Marsha Watkins

Marsha Watkins approaches counseling as a cooperative effort in which she and each client work together to foster hope, healing, and a greater sense of personal empowerment. She prioritizes building a trusting environment where clear goals are identified, communication and coping strategies are strengthened, self-esteem is bolstered, and clients are supported in developing increased autonomy.

She brings experience working with people of all ages on concerns such as trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, family stress, and behavioral challenges. Marsha adapts the therapeutic relationship to meet the unique needs of each individual, selecting methods that best support their progress.

Her training includes EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - as well as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and specialized work addressing compassion fatigue and both childhood and adult trauma processing. Marsha earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Louisiana Tech University. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, which means she holds the LPC credential and practices under that licensure in the state of Louisiana.
