New Orleans native Eric Couto is a multi-dimensional therapist. His roots are grounded in Native American heritage as well as African American heritage. Eric’s focus is supporting Black, Indigenous, POC,  and LGBTQ+ children, teens, and adults who are dealing with issues related to trauma, stagnation, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, sexual abuse, and more.

Eric’s primary focus is to collaborate with his clients to understand what lies beneath the surface. While we all have experienced trauma, the goal is to become present with ourselves, within ourselves, and feel safe enough to return home to our bodies. This requires connection,
expression, safe confrontation, the ability to challenge fear, and the ability to alter the way we think.

While reprogramming the body, spirit, and mind may be a lot to ask of someone, Eric believes we are able to accomplish this goal as long as we do it together. Values such as trust, open communication, and patience are the foundations of Eric’s work. Eric is trained to utilize tools such as motivational interviewing, EDMR, Music Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.

If you would like to take the next step to see if we would be an appropriate fit, please contact Eric to schedule a brief 15-20 minute consultation.
