About
The practice, founded by Ben Licata, offers expert counseling in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Their team of therapists, including Ben and Garrison Johnson, specialize exclusively in the intersection of addiction, infidelity, and relational trauma. They provide focused, evidence-based treatment designed to address the specific mechanics of sexual compulsion and partner betrayal. Lighthouse Counseling's approach is rooted in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) models clinically proven to reduce compulsive sexual behavior. They offer in-person clinical counseling at their two dedicated offices, alongside secure telehealth options for broader accessibility. Their comprehensive mental health support treats co-occurring issues through dedicated Trauma & PTSD therapy, dual diagnosis treatment, and targeted counseling for anxiety and depression. The practice's mission is to offer others the same kind of help and hope that was given to Ben, who was once caught in the pain and secrecy of addiction. They believe that individuals and couples can find freedom from addiction and rebuild their lives with the right guidance and support.
