Therapists in New Orleans, LA

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples, addressing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, family issues, relationships, self-esteem, anger management, ADHD, personality disorder, behavioral challenges, etc. I have 16 years of experience providing intensive outpatient counseling to individuals and groups. I strongly believe that counseling is a partnership between the therapist and the client, designed to arrive at the needed objectives and goals. Whereas the therapist has skills and training, the client is always the expert on themselves and their families. Only through working together with regard for the dignity and worth of each individual can challenges be alleviated and strengths enhanced.

Feelings of depression, despair, and anxiety can be debilitating and frightening. Relationship and work-life challenges can leave an individual feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and discouraged from achieving personal goals. As an experienced psychotherapist I offer a warm and welcoming therapeutic atmosphere that fosters personal growth. I have a high level skill-set, wealth of personal experience, and a wide array of clinical interventions that can be used to help a person reach their fullest potential. I rely heavily on established principles, and ethics that honor confidentiality.

My mission at Generations Individual and Family Treatment Services, LLC is to build healthy families and bridge kinship gaps. I have worked in the mental health profession for 25 plus years. My goal is to assist individuals, couples or family members in living their best life.

The innovations of our modern world bring new forms of stress while intensifying those which already exist. Hours of the day are spent in grueling stop and go traffic, and to advance one's education or career often requires uprooting from what is known and setting up in a completely new place. People are working more hours than ever before, while cost of living, overpopulation, and globalization heighten the stress of just trying to get by. With change comes the pain of adapting to the way the world is now, often so different from just a few short years ago.

When I think of myself as a Counselor, I envision providing unconditional positive regard and "Good Old Fashion" Southern Louisiana Hospitality to clients. Based on the client's individualized needs, I practice the eclectic approach to guide them through the healing process.

Many individuals seek the support of psychotherapy at some point in their lives. The assistance of a skilled and caring therapist can have many benefits. While these benefits vary from person to person, just beginning the process of counseling can help ease some of the isolation we all can feel when confronted with difficulties in our lives. Whether you are seeking assistance for anxiety, depression or a history of trauma, need help coping with the stress and hardship of everyday life, or wish to become more accepting of yourself and others, our therapists are here to help.

With 10+ years of experience, I work with clients with a variety of mental health needs. I work with children as young as 3 in play-based therapy, addressing anxiety, behavioral issues, parenting needs and familial transitions. I also work with couples exploring pre-marital counseling, marriage counseling, separation/divorce or co-parenting. I work with teens struggling with anxiety or depression as they navigate the realms of social media and pressures of GenZ. I also see many adult clients 1:1 who just need extra support in this season of life: whether from work stressors or family conflict or just wanting better mental wellness.
