Therapists in New Orleans, LA

I am a clinical and developmental psychologist who works with young children, adolescents, and adults. I have special interest in post-partum mothers, anxiety reactions, and personality and identity development through life's transitions (parenting, separation, coping with college, new baby, grief, identity crises, major life events, etc.). I work with patients with symptoms of anxiety, depression, attention or learning problems, and those who have experienced traumatic stress or unusual mental symptoms.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Board Approved Clinical Supervisor with 21 years of mental health experience, and have a law degree. I treat a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression and bi-polar depression, relationship issues and couple's counseling, and family mediation.

I am an individual and family counselor with over 12 years of experience working with clients in home, school, community-based and office settings.

I enjoy being able to assist those who are in need of finding a way out of the darkness. Also, my practice focuses on the study of substance abuse/addiction counseling.

I think that telehealth and online therapy are very powerful tools that we have to bring our support to more people regardless of whether they are near or far.

I am a dedicated psychotherapist with a passion for cultivating healthy relationships. Specializing in non-monogamy and polyamory, I bring a unique perspective to my practice, helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of alternative relationship structures. With a background in psychology and extensive training in relational therapy, I am committed to providing a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their feelings, desires, and boundaries.

Can't relax because your miles long to-do list is always on your mind? You've come to the right place! I help high-performers break free from hustle culture and reconnect with the peace and contentment they've been missing (or never had to begin with!). My blended style of therapy & coaching helps you tap into the awareness, motivation, and inspiration you need to get unblocked and get honest with yourself about what really matters to you - not just what everyone has told you SHOULD matter. Get ready to release who you've been and make space for all you can become. Your next-level life is waiting for you.

How you see yourself might be deeply influenced by the emotional distress, negative thought patterns, or destructive and addictive behaviors you struggle with. As a Holistic Health Practitioner, I believe these conditions cover up, rather than define, who you truly are. My unique approach to holistic health and wellness encourages a balanced integration of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of your wellbeing. I'd like to support you in creating optimal conditions for the safe, mindful, and deep exploration of your innate capacity for self-healing and radical transformation.

Do you believe in the power of the mind-body connection and your own innate ability to overcome your health and emotional challenges? Are you looking for balance in your moods, life, nutrition and total happiness? Want to optimize your complete health and wellness? It's uncommon these days to discuss mental health, nutrition and health with a trained professional. Sadly, the common approach to health and wellness is to medicate our ailments, not to create and sustain wellness. As a LMSW, a Certified Integrative Health Coach, and soon to be 200hr RYT, I can support you to achieve of ALL of your health goals.

My work as a therapist began with my own search for and exploration of meaning, insight and growth. I work in an organic way so that the unique personality, both conscious and unconscious, of each client can come to the forefront. Oftentimes clients bring dreams, creative work and other material that allows for unknown elements to come into the light of our work together.

I enjoy working with people who are often considered outsiders, those challenge the established norms of our society, in their pursuit of a more holistic future for themselves and our world. This includes activists, educators, artists, fellow mental health professionals, writers, musicians, and those who live in ways unique to themselves. A throughline of my work revolves around the realm of disabilities, many of which remain unrecognized by others. I believe that disability advocacy requires working through issues of power, autonomy, social inequality, and environment.

Therapy can be a powerful way to achieving happiness, acceptance and greater life satisfaction. As a trauma therapist, I approach each client and couple with compassion, empathy and value the unique life experience of my clients. Sessions honor each person's needs and comforts, helps the individual understand, gain insight and work through issues. I draw from psychodynamic, attachment, and somatic therapies. Coming from a strengths based perspective, fostering resilience is an important part of my practice. I hope clients can expand on what's already working and learn the skills and insight necessary to meet their goals.

I am committed to meeting you where you are. I work hard to understand and validate what it is like to be you. So, your goals for therapy are the crucial foundation for our work together. If you experience that I really do understand and validate you and your goals, then I believe you will allow me to challenge you in helpful ways when it becomes difficult to make significant changes that you want to make. I also believe that work with at least five dimensions (MIND, BODY, SOUL, SYSTEM, and STORY) in an organic and natural way can help you succeed in meeting your goals, even if other approaches have not been successful.

“You need to learn to be happy on your own,” "You're too sensitive,” "Stop overthinking." These kinds of judgements and criticisms are incorrect and make you feel worse. How you see your story, and what actions you take in your life as a result, can either create stress, sadness, anger, and inner turmoil; or joy, inspiration, hope, and relaxation. What could someone say to you that would make you feel understood or at peace instead of bad, unworthy, or "crazy," and how can you consistently know those "good" things about you instead of thoughts that make you feel bad? I help my clients find unique, true answers to these questions.

Do you want to make a change, reach a goal, or better understand yourself? Do you have trouble with relationships? Are depression or anxiety getting in your way? Put my experience and expertise to work for you. I specialize in relationship issues, trauma and substance abuse. Other specialties include: setting healthy boundaries, dealing with difficult life changes, overcoming obstacles, and moving toward personal empowerment.

Individuals: Do you have difficult life transitions and need support in self-growth? Put the needs others before yourself? Desire coping skills for painful thoughts and emotions or shift the pattern of toxic relationships? Couples: Do you desire to enhance communication or solve perpetual problems that cycle in patterns? Repair trust after infidelity or negotiate conflict after complex events? Open or expand your current partnership with mutually designed agreements? Trauma: Do you want to heal childhood trauma or reprocess disturbing memories? Address ongoing traumatic stress to prevent or greatly reduce potential for future PTSD?

Hi, I’m Eric. I believe the foundation of helpful therapy is a trusting and supportive relationship. I provide a safe and compassionate space where clients are encouraged to gain self-awareness, while honoring the strengths and values each person brings with them. A process of exploration into your own experience - of thought, emotion, sensation, and behavior - can empower a greater ability to make conscious, creative choices toward personally meaningful change for a more fulfilling life. Gradually, this process can transform the way you relate to yourself, others, and the world.

I work primarily with issues of depression, anxiety, child abuse, neglect, grief, and trauma. Helping someone through difficult issues is a collaboration between therapist and client. It takes courage to show up for therapy and trust someone to help! I practiced and taught meditation as a means for recovering from trauma for 30 years before becoming a therapist. Meditation develops a stronger, calmer mind, but doesn't completely clear psychological issues, unless you've the luxury of years of intense practice. For faster results than talk therapy or meditation alone, I integrate them to build self-awareness and stability.
