Bonnie Dupuis
Counseling Intern
Lafayette,LA
Summary
Hello,
My name is Bonnie Dupuis! I am currently in my last semester of graduate school to attain my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in December 24'. I also serve as the lead clinic graduate assistant for the UL Counseling Program. I was led to the counseling field based on my own difficult life experiences. My areas of focus range from individuals dealing with anxiety and depression as well as other life difficulties to relationship struggles with couples and families. I utilize a systemic, trauma-informed, and multicultural lens, considering the many relationships, life experiences, and societal structures in place that impact my clients. I strive to make my clients feel safe and comfortable enough for change and transformation to happen.
