About me

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.

We booked a session with Dr. White Jr ahead of a family trip to attend my in laws memorials. It had been a tough year with navigating grief and other things and we needed a reset. He was very empathetic and pragmatic in his approach with us. And set us off on a good note for our journey. Will continue working with him for further gains.

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.

Written on May 05, 2021 after therapy with Alfred for 7 months on issues concerning relationship

Dr. White is patient and unshakable, meaning he is always professional no matter what you throw at him. He always returns back to what is important and helps you stay focused on the objectives of the session. He is also very warm and I find talking with him to be very easy, he is comforting without condescension. I especially appreciate how he picks up on certain things and will ask about them later no matter how long I have "ranted", for example he might say something like, "earlier when you said 'hopeless' what did you mean by that". I always feel heard with Dr. White and I know that I am growing as a person and as a partner in my relationship.

Written on Nov 09, 2020 after therapy with Alfred for 2 months on issues concerning relationship

We had a two-month sessions with Alfred. At the beginning, I didn't think it would be helpful and just treated like a last trial to prove that this relationship is helpless even though we still love each other, we just don't fit. Through sessions, Alfred convinced me that it is all about communication. Now, i still argue with my partner but at least, we know how to make it an effective and productive problem solving process. Thanks a lot for Alfred's valuable advice. I highly recommend him.

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 teen counseling 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.
