Hi, I am Steven Byrd, LCSW, DBH, the Director of Counseling and Wellness here at Xavier University of Louisiana. As an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Behavior Health and more than 30 years of clinical experience in the public and private school settings, I am excited about being here at Xavier University. It is my mission to create a neutral, confidential space for Xavier students to express themselves, and engage in healthy conversations concerning their mental wellness.
I counsel individuals who present with such issues as depression, anxiety, traumatic stress (including experiences of domestic violence, sexual assault, adult survivors of childhood abuse, and single incident traumas such as car accidents, grief, relationship difficulties, career changes, spirituality, self-esteem, separation/divorce, and stress management.
My clinical approaches include the following practices: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Mindfulness Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
