With over 26 years of experience, I work with everyday people on everyday life issues and challenges. My purpose is to assist individuals identify and work towards living the lifestyle that brings them the most joy and fulfillment. My philosophy is that at each individual's core exists knowledge of one's ideal self for every life area, relationship involved, and role played. Through consultations one's ideal selves and desired lifestyles are identified,, as well as both the obstacles and paths associated with the attainment and maintaining of the identified ideal selves and desired lifestyles
Consultations are a collaborative team effort. As a "Life Consultant" my role is to ask the questions that assist in the reflection, awareness, and identification of the client's desired lifestyle and ideal self for every life area, the acceptance of who and where they at this moment in life, and the feedback, support, and encouragement needed for success.
Life areas in which Consultations may be engaged include relationships with family, friends, significant others, and individuals in various community venues, to include work, school, neighborhood, and one's community at large. Questions, challenges, and issues concerning, self-identity, purpose, spirituality, career, and an array of everyday human concerns are welcomed for consult.
With regard to my formal education and training, I received a Masters in Counseling from the University of New Orleans in 1994 and my Doctorate in Counseling in 1999. In the state of Louisiana I and licensed as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In addition, I am Board Approved in the State of Louisiana as Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor.

It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments.

Great therapist
Dr. Alfred White, Jr. has been amazing so far, believes in my growth and recovery. He taught me the concept of prevention (positives) and intervention (negatives) that stuck with me and worked on steps towards my fulfillment, happiness, and ideal life. He believed in me to figure things out and work on figuring out my ideal life which we discussed. As well he sent me some worksheets to look over and noticed I was not the best at communicating with others and taught me some breathing exercises "Listen to understand rather than listen to respond." something I still need to work on though, to be honest. He's been a big help so far can't wait to see what he provides me going forward.
Dr. White helped me navigate through a chapter of my life I will never forget. He helped me through the loss of a best friend, changes in where I lived, identity, relationships, expression & purpose. And through all that, despite the hardships, Dr. White helped me find peace at the moment. It’s hard to say I will miss this chapter, as there were hard times, but he helped me through them all, and I am so grateful.
Dr. White is the best he is thoughtful and empathetic never judgment . He has given me great advice that is making a difference in my life day to day.
Dr. White was extremely helpful in all aspects of my life. i was going through a lot of transitions whenever i first started communicating with him and slowly but surely he helped me manage all of these new feelings and be able to move forward with my life.
Very friendly professional a great listener and understands me very well.

Dr. White has been just brilliant. I was open minded, but not entirety convinced this was for me, before I started speaking with him. Now 7 weeks into using Better Help and talking with Dr. White I can already notice myself changing my behaviours to be more positive, and living in the present. Cannot reccomend Dr. White enough, he has been so insightful and helpful.
Dr. White has been extremely helpful. I had hesitation signing up for therapy due to lack of finding a therapist I connected with. He has helped me find peace from past traumas, prioritize my needs, and develop better positive thinking patterns.
Dr. White has helped me feel okay for my healing journey in life. I was able to identify what has been bothering me now and how to manage it. He has patience and makes sure to understand your point of view the way possible. I highly recommend him.
