Eguenel Louis , LMHC

Eguenel Louis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on substance use disorder and broader mental health concerns.

He aims to empower people to get "unstuck" and pursue healthier ways of thinking and living.

He describes his practice as solution-focused and goal-oriented, using an eclectic psychotherapy approach that draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative methods, dialectical behavioral strategies, and humanistic and psychodynamic ideas. He combines these methods with a warm, person-centered manner and unconditional positive regard to support clients through difficult transitions.

As a believer in Christ, he incorporates the Word of God into his work when appropriate to bring hope to those feeling hopeless. He is fluent in English, French, and Haitian Creole, and he begins each day committed to helping clients address co-occurring disorders, develop healthy coping skills, and work toward long-term sobriety and greater emotional balance.
