Center for Advanced Psychotherapy and Skills Training
OUR STORY
The Center for Advanced Psychotherapy and Skills Training was established by Honey Estapa, LCSW. Mrs. Estapa decided to bring back the skills, knowledge and expertise she gained from working at the Menninger Clinic in Houston, Texas and provide high quality, cost-effective psychotherapy, self-help programming and skills training to the New Orleans community and beyond. We work with adults of all ages, but specialize in helping college students clear and shift unhelpful thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviors that have been getting in the way of them thriving and truly feeling happy and satisfied. In order to increase flexibility and convenience for clients, we now offer telemedicine, on-line programming and a monthly subscription to on-line videos and exercise you can access in between sessions. Mrs. Quintana has joined our team for those who do not need in-depth psychotherapy, but instead need help problem-solving and best navigating everyday situations that can seem challenging and overwhelming.
