Anxiety Therapists in East Carollton, New Orleans, LA

Life is so much harder than it used to be. We are constantly being challenged and it is often hard to determine what the best next option would be for you. Often times it is difficult to find the best way to manage daily challenges and understand how to meet expectations set by others as well as ourselves. It can be hard to manage stress, worry, sadness, past trauma, and relationships. It is important to remember that you are not alone and there is room for things to get better. The focus is to identify the best way to manage each situation, it is a struggle to know where to start.

So many things can pull us away from feeling fully alive and from having meaningful relationships, to ourselves and to others. I enjoy helping people strengthen their belief in themselves and become less alienated. Therapy with me is about bringing awareness to behavior and thought patterns that no longer serve you. Without recognition of these patterns it is impossible to make a conscious decision to be/do something new. You never know what's possible when you bring energy and imagination to the parts of your self that need attention.

My work focuses on motivating, assisting, and supporting your desired changes. The process begins by clarifying goals, identifying impediments, and developing alternative ways to move forward. As a licensed clinical social worker I treat adults in both long and short-term therapy. My training and extensive experience is in treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, and depression. In addition I have obtained the status of certified ADHD coach. Other experiences include assisting patients with the management of obsessive-compulsive disorder, personal transitions, and advocacy.

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.

Reaching out for help can be hard. Many times we take two steps forward and fall back because it is familiar, comfortable, or maybe we don’t know what step to take next. Therapy can be used to explore options and scenarios, mull over decisions, or navigate and process conflicting feelings while being in a judgment-free environment. If you are struggling with family and/or peer relationships, life transitions, stress, depression, anxiety, or grief, we can work together to reach your desired lifestyle. I also have extensive experience with those who have loved ones struggle with substance use and mental health issues.

Most people who contact me for therapy are serious about getting the help they need. They want a therapist they can trust. As a clinical social worker I work with my clients to help them identify their goals and challenges. Like most therapists I offer a safe environment, acceptance, and concern. I may also offer feedback and make suggestions but I believe that it is the client's responsibility to decide how they want to resolve their specific issues.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience, my practice is centered on helping my clients find balance and deepen their ability to access true wellbeing. My work, both inpatient and outpatient, has ranged from helping adolescents bolster self esteem and coping skills on one end to helping adults who have suffered from mood and personality disorders on the other. My specialty, though, lies in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders, and my work and anecdotal research has allowed me to develop a keen approach to the healing of these ailments on the path to achieving long term mental wellness.

Peace of mind. It's something we all yearn for, yet life's challenges can make it feel so elusive. Issues like substance use, anxiety, and depression often stand in the way. But that's where therapy comes in. It takes courage to seek help when you need it most. Amidst the struggles, it's difficult to pause and appreciate the small moments when the weight of larger issues looms overhead. Life is full of hurdles and uncertainties, but wherever you are in your journey of healing, I'll be there to walk alongside you. Because even when hope feels distant, it's always within reach.

Dr. Klenck holds specialized training in evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, exposure therapy, and mindfulness-based practices for the treatment of anxiety, depression, bipolar and related disorders and a wide range of other difficulties. Dr. Klenck focuses on evidence-based treatment and evidence-based assessment practices, but finds the most important factor in therapy is the therapeutic relationship. Without a strong alliance with the client, she finds a therapist is limited in their ability to help the individual effect change.

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 work with a variety of adult clients, both individually and in couples counseling. Many of my clients are dealing with varying levels of anxiety, depression and/or relationship struggles. Often clients have struggled with these concerns for a long time but resisted admitting that anything was wrong or seeking help.

I believe that a mutually trusting relationship between client and counselor is primary to personal change. With all clients, I work to provide a safe, comfortable environment in which clients can freely explore new ideas and resolve problems. I strive to help each client discover new options and perspectives, enabling more effective choices for his/her life. Together with my clients, I establish both short and long term goals aimed at alleviating symptoms and developing healthier lifetime patterns. I have experienced and enjoyed working with people from many walks of life.

Change can be scary. Ironically, in order to enact change we actually need to start with self-acceptance. A deep sense of I-am-OK-ness provides the empowerment necessary to embark on change. This is where a solid therapeutic relationship can be profoundly supportive. It can provide a space of strength, safety and compassion - where the fears and obstacles can be unpacked and where you can discover and trust your innate abilities and strengths. Areas of expertise: Eating Disorders, Body Image and Body Dysmorphia, Women's Issues, Social Anxiety, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Concerns and Life Transitions.

To paraphrase artist and author Tori Press- I’m here to help hold your balloon until you feel ready to hold it again yourself. No one should have to navigate life's challenges alone (even superheroes have sidekicks). My approach to therapy is solution-focused, person-centered, and holistic. While evidence-based practices and theories have their merit, ultimately you are the expert on your own life. I aim to create a supportive and non-judgmental place where we can discuss your challenges, talk through the hard questions, and work collaboratively to find solutions.

Have you been in therapy for years and still find yourself at the same spot? Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and frustrated with daily chaos? Is it getting difficult to keep up with daily routines? As a trauma therapist, I help individuals find the calm and confidence they need to connect with themselves, even in the chaos of everyday life. I understand it is not easy to talk about your past. I can help you accept all parts of you that are carrying the burden from past traumatic experiences and help you build a strong relationship with yourself.

I offer morning and day time hours Tues-Thurs. What could you navigate in a safe space? I will use a warm, compassionate approach as we explore what you might be seeking. Perhaps you long for fulfillment or a clarified sense of purpose. Maybe you feel stuck in patterns that don’t serve you. Perhaps you’re sad or anxious, grappling with a relationship, or coping with loss. Regardless of what brings you here, I believe that sorting out your thoughts and feelings together can yield a more enjoyable life. Our work will focus on what brings you purpose and meaning.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in treating anxiety, depression, crisis due to major life changes, loss and grief issues, women's issues, concerns related to sexual orientation, sleep issues, relationship problems and life stress. Believing that therapy is a journey, I assist people in walking a path that will help them let go of the issues that have kept them reaching their potential and cause them problems in relationships.

Change takes effort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you make that change. CBT is like finding a map to a more ideal life and learning that life is much closer than you had thought. This form of therapy teaches you how to change your thinking, with an initial focus on improving the here-and-now with smaller focus on the past. Practice is essential and CBT involves work, but that work often yields results. CBT can help improve mood, reduce anxiety and fears, change unhelpful behaviors, make relationships better, and lead to a richer, more satisfying life.

I have been providing psychotherapy to clients in my private practice, hospital environments and college environments for over 25 years. I received my PhD from Tulane University and formerly held an adjunct professor position at Tulane. I help individuals discover resiliency, confidence, meaning and coping skills in the face of life transitions. Whether you face relationship issues, career difficulties, adjustment to high school or college, professional development, or if you are facing a challenging situation, I can provide help and support. My office is located within walking distance of Tulane and Loyola University.
