Therapists in New Orleans, LA

I am a LCSW with over 10 years of experiencing working with adults experiencing a range of struggles including depression, anxiety, psychosis, substance misuse, and trauma. I use a strengths-based, humanistic, cognitive-behavior approach in working with clients to help them reach their goals in life.

Sometimes life becomes too difficult to battle on our own. Together, we can explore what inner turmoil, events, relationships and/or other factors may be causing distress in your life and develop tools and skills to overcome these hardships. I strive to provide a warm and cozy therapeutic environment and convey empathy and understanding in order to allow my clients to feel safe and validated during our sessions. I obtained my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology at the University of Mississippi in 2008; I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a National Certified Counselor and a Certified Trauma Professional.

Therapy is a safe place in which we can grow into the people we want to become. All of us hit roadblocks in life - both internal and external. Therapy provides us a place where we can work on how to resolve these roadblocks and live a meaningful, satisfying life. I have experience with a wide range of clients, from adolescents to older adults. Whether you are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, a stressful life transition or relationship, or any other hurdle, I will provide the empathy and support you need to deal with them.

You may be finding it difficult to self-regulate your emotions, behaviors, and/or attention, which is negatively impacting your relationships, performance at work or school, and overall health and well-being. You may struggle with people pleasing, perfectionism, procrastination/avoidance, or isolation. These behaviors were developed to protect yourself from internalized shame and guilt, but ultimately you feel burned out, exhausted, and unfulfilled. This is not how you want to live. You want to understand and accept yourself, create more balance, and feel more empowered in your daily life.

It is my goal to create a safe and inclusive treatment environment for adults and adolescents seeking therapeutic collaboration around eating disorders, depression, anxiety, mood dysregulation, trauma, and life transitions.

I work with adults of all ages and backgrounds who are wishing to explore what it means to become the best version of themselves that they can be at this time. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, lifestyle changes, or problems with addiction, I can offer my unique perspectives with an open heart and mind. I enjoy working with individuals or couple that are struggling to make consistent changes, or are making limited progress and could use some support from a professional.

You're tired of struggling with self-worth, anxiety, and relationships. You have doubts holding you back from truly thriving in your life. Perhaps you feel like you're faking it. Maybe you feel disconnected from yourself or others. Maybe you feel exhausted, tired of beating yourself down and pretending everything is fine. You want a change but you don't know where to start. If you let me, I'd love to help! You are the expert in your life and my role is to assist you in exploration. I strive a warm and welcoming environment to empower you through your journey to well-being.

I use an integrated approach to provide individual counseling and play therapy services to adults and children. I am interested in aiding clients who deal with difficulties surrounding divorce, daily stressors, relationship issues, anxiety and depression. I intend to focus on working with children and families attempting to readjust to the rules and roles of the new family structure that can surface. I will provide a safe environment where clients can work collaboratively with me to identify concerns and process them. I will help clients use this new awareness to determine effective coping and communication skills.

I have nearly a decade of experience working with teens, emerging adults, adults, and couples with a diverse range of identity intersections and presenting concerns. My approach to psychotherapy is multidimensional. This allows for some flexibility and creativity in order to meet the diverse needs individuals bring to therapy and in their lives. One common denominator is creating a safe and positive relationship between therapist and client. This is the foundation of good psychotherapy.

I believe individuals are the experts of their own lives based on their experiences, but sometimes need guidance to grow and move toward wholeness and health. I provide therapeutic services in a collaborative form for adolescents and adults dealing with depression and anxiety. I work with my clients to provide an individualized and compassionate plan that incorporates techniques and interventions from various theories. We work together to heal and process painful experiences while learning healthy skills to move forward, promote growth and positive changes. Together, we work to achieve optimal balance and wellness.

I view counseling as a collaborative relationship between the client and the counselor. This collaborative relationship allows the client and therapist to work together to address issues the client is facing through the development of mutually agreed upon clinical and personal goals. During therapy, I focus on patterns of thoughts, behaviors, moods, and communication that may contribute to client distress. I often address these issues utilizing Person-Centered, Systems, Cogitative Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (evidenced-based therapeutic practices).

Hi, I'm Natalie Flores, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker providing therapy services for people seeking help and guidance through life's challenges. I have more than 15 years experience and have worked for the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Center of New Orleans (CBT Nola) since 2017. In my therapy practice, I use evidence-based techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I believe creating a safe and supportive space is essential for growth and healing, and I am committed to creating a nonjudgmental, collaborative environment.

Thriving is not the same as just surviving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) provide tools to both reduce distress and to build a full and robust life. I use CBT and DBT to teach you how to understand and regulate emotions, problem solve difficulties, and learn coping skills. I tailor evidence-based treatments by focusing on the person that you would like to become as a result of your hard work in therapy, and, if you aren’t sure who that is yet, we can explore that too! CBT focuses on current thoughts and behaviors to improve mood, reduce stress, and enhance relationships.
