Counseling - Meditation - Fitness
Our mental health epidemic today is not merely a reflection of direct brain disorders, but also and especially a need to enhance behavioral fitness in the face of worsening societal pressures.
We are Paragon Wellness: a mental health counseling, fitness, meditation, and strategic consulting practice. We offer in-person or telehealth services in Louisiana, and telehealth counseling in Florida and Washington states.
We treat classical mental health disorders at an outpatient level of care: anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, OCD, substance use disorders, acute and post-traumatic stress disorders, bipolar disorder, oppositional defiance, borderline, dissociative, narcissistic, dependent, and antisocial traits or personality disorders. This is done through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, evolutionary psychology, somatic-informed, and anti-fragility frameworks.
We work with couples and families, with the aim of restoring supportive, respectful, and warm communication and negotiation practices, through cultivating strategies and tactics that allow everyone’s values to thrive in a mutually designed family culture.
While this might seem like a broad list, much can be accomplished with a scientifically grounded system which includes modalities of conditioning applicable to emotion, cognition, perception, and environment. This integrated set of practices falls under what we term as Behavioral Fitness, or the idea that understanding and training the relevant machinery of the mind and body can yield substantial and sustainable improvements in mindset and performance.
Consider the problems in your life.
If you developed more clarity and discipline, what unmet goals would you attain?
If you achieved optimal health and fitness, what would happen to your energy level and mood?
If you generated wealth through an enjoyable profession or business, far above your financial obligations, how could your life be different?
If you communicated clearly to integrate the needs and wants of others with your own, how would your interactions and relationships change?
If you developed a working knowledge of your emotional mechanisms, of strategy and tactics, and of logic and rational inquiry, how much further would your problem-solving efforts reach?
If you are ready to get serious about your mood, performance, and purpose, we look forward to hearing from you!
Dr. Ken Knight explains the biological mechanisms of differing emotional states, and how to cultivate tactics to optimize for each.
