Auriel Campbell and Trent Istre - Married Couple

Lotus Counseling and Wellness is co-owned by married couple, Auriel Campbell, MA, LPC and Trent Istre. They both envisioned providing the Acadiana area with an integrative team of counselors. Alongside providing quality, affordable mental health care to Louisiana, Auriel and Trent wanted to create a nourishing group practice for mental health clinicians. Lotus is a team oriented group counseling practice. Through this approach we believe each client will receive the best care.

Auriel Campbell has been serving Louisiana as a counselor since 2019. She has worked extensively with clients experiencing complex trauma, medical trauma, complex chronic illness and pain, and spiritual abuse. She is an EMDRIA approved EMDR Consultant & Trainer, level 2 Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional, and soon to be Internationally Credentialed Sandtray Therapist. Currently she is focusing on being owner and clinical director at Lotus Counseling and Wellness to ensure quality care is provided to clients and to the Lotus clinicians. Alongside these endeavors, she has launched several sandtray therapy trainings and EMDR trainings. In her spare time she enjoys pottery, reading, Pilates, writing, and collaging.

Trent Istre recently began his graduate studies in Marriage and Family Counseling at Colorado Christian University. Prior to his studies, he was a Mechanical Engineer for 10 years. His future goals include working towards a PhD in Counseling, becoming certified in Neurofeedback, and launching a non profit to better serve clients and clinicians. Trent enjoys wood working, gardening, bee keeping, working on cars, and any type of new project you bring his way.

Together Auriel and Trent enjoy the country life with their three pups, Zeke, Mose and Chip.

Stay tuned as Lotus continues to grow to better care for your needs!
