Existential Therapists in Mid-City, New Orleans, LA

If you are struggling with the loss of a loved one, a difficult life transition, or feeling depressed and anxious, I can help. I provide space for you to be seen, be heard, and explore the root causes of the symptoms you're experiencing. My goal is that you feel safe being vulnerable as we explore these aspects of your life together, and that you feel lighter and have direction moving forward.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I provide individual holistic psychotherapy and mind-body skills training (guided imagery, meditation, relaxation, mindfulness, etc). In addition to providing counseling using a wellness approach (rather than the medical model), I also use mind-body skills training to help clients move towards personal growth and stress reduction and to better cope with transition and developmental processes. My theoretical approach to counseling is somewhat eclectic, but largely humanistic, existential, and integrative. I work with clients on examining and building upon the whole person holistically.

My intention as a therapist is to create a reflective space and to bring you clarity and support. We will explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and together we will consider whether they are working for you. We will expand your awareness of your personal processes and protective patterns, both internally and in relationships and how these play out in your mind and body. With this deeper understanding of your self, we will shift perspective and create more opportunity for choice. My role is to facilitate the removal of barriers that prevent connection to your self and others through a systemic and interpersonal approach.

Hello and welcome! Challenges and obstacles are inevitable as we journey through life, but with the proper support and strategies, growth and change are always possible. My name is Nathan Hennick, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than a decade of experience working with clients in the New Orleans community. The majority of my work has been with clients experiencing difficulties navigating the world while living with serious mental illness. My goal is to guide you toward the life you aspire to live by using a collaborative approach that takes your unique circumstances into account. Please call today to schedule.

I enjoy following your lead to the topics and concerns that are most pressing for you. I also teach breathing exercises, meditation techniques, visualizations and communication strategies. I use both structured methods like CBT and EMDR and my own intuitive understanding to help you heal. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and grief. For me, therapy is a way of gently holding up a mirror to see our inherent clarity and wisdom that is like the blue sky above the clouds.

I offer a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel safe to explore the issues that they may be struggling with. I aim to understand my clients' experiences as best I can as we work together to build a trusting relationship. I work with my clients on issues related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues and disruptions caused by life changes.

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.

My approach to counseling is holistic and based on the client's needs. I use methodology from humanistic psychology, person-centered therapy, psychodynamic theory and cognitive behavioral therapy. I help clients identify hidden strengths and discover obstacles to a more meaningful life. I work with the client on building an authentic therapeutic relationship where the client is seen as the expert in her/his own life. I do this in a compassionate, safe, and nonjudgmental process. I am effective in working with people who seek short-term, solution-focused therapy as well as longer-term therapeutic goals.

I have worked with clients on a wide range of problems and concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, and family conflict. I recognize that every client has unique experiences, motivations, and strengths, and I tailor my approach to the person sitting across from me. I see my role as providing a safe place to share your experiences, process your circumstances, and work toward making the choices and changes which will lead to a more fulfilling life.

Guided by a relational/narrative approach to therapy with a systems lens, I view clients as emergent beings who come from communities and stories that can enliven or constrict their sense of self, safety, belonging, and freedom. In a society that encourages isolation and disconnection, I have seen the profound healing that can happen when people feel safe enough to be witnessed and explore through relationship. I work with people who struggle with painful pasts or parts of themselves and aim to create a space where people can move into greater relationship with themselves, their values, and desires.

The purpose of therapy is to feel better about your life. I listen to you and help you make connections so that you can better see how what you are doing, or have done, has made you unhappy. Sometimes the goal is to just stop hitting your head against a brick wall. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, genograms, and psychotherapy I will help you towards a sense of well-being and improved personal relationships. There’s no need to feel ashamed of your past. Better to understand your past, to reframe it and to turn the page. Visit the website at theratique.com to learn more.
