I don't usually post reviews, but I felt compelled to do so regarding my recent experience with Louis. I first sought out a counselor due to a number of issues I was facing in my life - I felt I had reached a point where I could no longer see outside of my own thinking. In other words, I felt the time was ripe for seeking professional guidance. I chose to schedule an appointment with Louis after driving by his sign on Nueces one day and after later reading through his website. First, let me just say that Louis is remarkable - his ability to focus on what you are saying and see between the lines, to have insightful perspective into the inner workings of your consciousness is truly an amazing gift. His empathetic listening and guidance were absolutely spot on in every session. The understanding I gained about myself left me dumbfounded and so grateful. Louis asks penetrating questions, but does so in a gentle way. He told me several times in our sessions that what he is selling is not easy - and he is absolutely right. But, if you are willing to work, to really give yourself the care you deserve, you can make incredible strides in your personal growth with his Louis' guidance. His approach is not one where you just get to vent and receive a feel-good response. Although he encourages you to really speak your mind, he also elegantly elicits new perspectives and he journeys with you as you co-discover something wonderful about who you are. The understanding about my past and present that Louis helped me to gain has already led me down the path of self-healing and forgiveness in under six months. The development I was able to undergo through my sessions with him led me to clear and deeply helpful realizations about myself. As a grown man, I was shocked to discover some of the revelations he illuminated and the simple truth is that I could not have moved froward without his help. Also, an added bonus with this counseling is that most of it was covered by my insurance provider and I never had any issues whatsoever. If you are considering going to counseling, I greatly encourage you go and meet with Louis - be ready to open up and be ready to work. You deserve that love and that care for yourself. Thank you, Louis - you are the real deal and a blessing to those in need. read more

The reality is that everyone can benefit from having someone they trust to talk to about their issues, see it from a different perspective, offer up ideas, and work through a difficult time. The hard part is finding the right person. Louis is that right person for me. Since I have been seeing Louis, I'm a changed man. His words speak to me in a way that I can consume the information and actually make real change! Louis taught me that therapy is a two-way street. It is not about solving problems as much as it is about understanding more about myself so that the atmosphere for solving problems happens naturally. He opened my eyes that my own progress starts with me, and completely blew my mind with a different paradigm for how to view some fundamental concepts in my life. I would recommend Louis to anyone that: - hasn't ever tried therapy before - is going through a difficult time - needs a different perspective - wants to change - is willing to be honest with themselves I can tell by the sessions I have with Louis that he really cares. He is honest and comforting. Even his office décor is soothing. I felt compelled to write this review because rarely can a professional have this kind of impact. Choosing to see a therapist is a big decision. Choosing to see the RIGHT therapist is monumental.... read more

I had always been a bit reluctant to go into a stranger's office and open up about neglected personal issues. After visiting with a couple different therapists I thought this may not be the avenue for me. However, knowing I needed some sort of support system, I decided to try it once more. That was one of the best decisions of my adult life. After meeting with Louis, he seemed to effortlessly build a pathway from my psyche to the outside world in which I work and live. Communications, both with myself and others, are now flowing quite easily in both directions. This therapy hasn't been an easy process, but because of the results, it is a process worth fighting for. I am taking responsibility for my own behavior and actions, thus complimenting my personal relationships and career opportunities. I am truly amazed at what Louis has been able to accomplish with me. It's as if he were a scout who was able to identify something in me that I did not know was there. He pointed the way and allowed me to move at my own pace as I discovered, what turned out to be, a personal epiphany. As I travel this newfound journey, my path continues to widen. This, I must say, is all in thanks to the attention, compassion, nurturing, and reasonability of Louis Laves-Webb. read more

I can honestly say the last 3.5 years of working with Louis have been the best years of my life. They have not been the easiest years, but Louis has helped me find a way past surviving into living on my own terms. It is a gift that I cannot measure with 5 measly stars. There are not enough words to describe what Louis has done for me. He has been my greatest support and guide while still challenging me to be better. Therapy is not easy and you do not go to get your problem solved by your therapist. As for any issues outside our actual sessions I have never had a single issue. In my time with Louis he has only cancelled once for a family emergency. Since he could not give me 24 hours notice he extended his same cancellation policy to me and my next session was free. When I have needed support outside of our sessions he has called me and emailed me. That means the world and shows that his time with clients is not about a paycheck. Louis was recommended to me by a therapist supervisor. I recommend him every time anyone asks me and then hear rave reviews when friends go to him. I cannot recommend him highly enough to you. read more

I have found Louis-Laves Webb to be a very empathetic and wise counselor. He was always willing to schedule an appointment with me when I needed to discuss any issue. A professional attitude was demonstrated by Louis with me at all times. To me, I found that his client-therapist relationship was based on trust, confidentiality and ethics. He was an active listener which helped encourage me to talk. Also, he showed very good organizational skills of goal-setting, record - keeping and creating appropriate action plans for me. He was able to challenge, reassure and motivate me so that I could meet my goals and successfully resolve my issues. I would highly recommend Louis-Laves Webb to anyone who is in need of counseling and resolving issues in their life. read more

I have been seeing Louis for over a year, and in that time I have made tremendous progress understanding myself and dealing with personal issues. Louis is very easy to talk to. When I'm struggling with an issue he is genuinely interested in helping me understand the core issue, and finding a way to deal with it and move forward. Louis also does a good job at striking a balance between listening to me and challenging me to work on the issues that are difficult. I have not experienced any problems with Louis, either in counseling or related to insurance/billing. I have been to three different counselors throughout my life, and I think it's important to find one that you are comfortable with. I would recommend Louis to anyone seeking counseling. read more

Louis knows when to listen, when to explain, and when to give direction. In essence all the skills you want from a therapist. I have been going to see Louis for the last few years. I have really been able to grow in dealing with my personal issues. I have seen a few other therapists besides Louis. While they were nice, they did not provide the same level of discourse and therapy and consequently I did not have a lot of growth in the areas I am working on. Louis is affable, knowledgable, friendly when necessary and challenging when necessary. Great traits for the job he does. I have recommended Louis to others and he came highly recommended to me. read more

I have been seeing Louis regularly for just under three years, and the experience has been nothing but positive. He has always treated me with respect and professionalism. Billing has never been an issue and I find his services to be of great value. I elected to see Louis, after a interviewing several candidates as I know that the connection between client and counselor is important to making the sessions productive and comfortable. I would most certainly recommend Louis, and intend to continue seeing him. read more

Louis has been great at getting me to personally open up as well as connect with loved ones in a more real and deep way. Great listener and always has a quote or literature to reference for back up. He's been doing this a while and it shows, good sessions and bad he's been there to help me through my issues. Also the process around setting up and attending his sessions have been super easy, I'm with BC-BS and have had no problems with billing or money at all. read more

Louis is definately at the top in his field. Previously I have met with other therapists that were okay but lacked in key areas. Louis seems to have all the qualities of a great therapist. Among other things he is empathetic, patient, a great listener and he provides wonderful feedback. Each time I have met with him he inspires trust and confidence in me and I always leave more hopeful then before I met with him. He is truly one of a kind. read more

In my dealings with Louis-Laves Webb, I have found him to be a good listener, a compassionate counselor and wise in his suggestions and his guidance. I have recommended him to several people who were in crisis either personally or with a family member and they also, were amazed at his eagerness to help and the outcome of the theraputic process. S.G.K. read more

There are genuinely not enough words in the English language to summarize the positivity and confidence I find in Dr. Laves-Webb. He is a consummate professional that has remembered to be patient, human, and kind. I feel strongly that I am better for his services and I am appreciative of his counsel. read more

My wife and I have seen Louis for marriage counseling. We both found him very helpful and also very non-judgmental (something I feel is very important). And as an aside, we never had any billing issues (and we were with UHC as well). read more
