Anastatia Theriot Southern Hope Family Services, LLC

I view anxiety as a high-speed engine without a brake. My expertise lies in helping you develop self-regulatory interventions to slow that engine down. We work together to identify the physiological and mental triggers that keep you in a state of 'high alert,' implementing practical tools to help you regain a sense of calm and mastery over your daily life.

Depression can feel like being stuck in a cycle of isolation and low energy. I specialize in helping clients break this cycle by focusing on mood and affective regulation. We look at the behavioral patterns that contribute to the 'fog' and work on small, manageable shifts to restore your energy, purpose, and connection to the things that matter most to you.

Relationships thrive on clarity and shared values, but they often get tangled in poor communication and unaddressed conflict. My approach focuses on interpersonal dynamics and boundary setting. Whether you are navigating a difficult transition like divorce or simply want to improve your partnership, I help you identify the 'why' behind your conflicts and provide a roadmap for healthier, more resilient connections.

My expertise in CBT is centered on helping you identify the invisible 'scripts'—the thoughts and beliefs—that drive your emotional distress and behaviors. By utilizing behavioral and self-regulatory interventions, I help you challenge these patterns in real-time. The benefit to you is a toolkit of practical strategies that allow you to interrupt anxiety or low mood as they happen, moving you from feeling 'stuck' to feeling in control.

I specialize in helping couples move from conflict to collaboration by focusing on interpersonal dynamics and value alignment. My approach goes beyond just 'talking it out'; I provide a structured environment to help you and your partner establish healthy boundaries, improve communication, and restore trust. Whether you are navigating a major life transition or simply want to deepen your connection, I help you build a partnership rooted in mutual respect and shared goals.

At the core of my practice is the belief that you are the expert on your own life. My expertise in person-centered therapy ensures that our sessions are a non-judgmental, empathetic space where you feel truly seen and heard. This foundation of trust allows us to explore your goals at your pace, ensuring that the clinical tools we use—whether for mood regulation or relational growth—are always tailored to your unique values and lived experience.
