Therapists in New Orleans, LA

I'm licensed in both medical psychology and clinical psychology. I prescribe psychiatric medication to treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, psychosis, emotional trauma, and other issues in Louisiana. I use psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and play/art therapy to address mood and behavioral issues, and problems around family and social functioning, school, and personal identity issues. I strive to help people flourish, and can provide a specific and unique therapeutic experience for you to reach your personal goals. I help people improve their self-understanding, address unresolved issues, and strengthen self-esteem.

Hello. My name is Dr. Taylor, and I'm here to help families create a happy and loving future together. I specialize in working with adolescents and family systems, and my goal is to create an environment where everyone can communicate openly and honestly without fear of judgment. I believe that by nurturing and supporting each other, families can build a strong foundation for a brighter tomorrow. Let's collaborate to build a future that is abundant with love and happiness!

Do you find yourself feeling anxious in relationships? Have you ever wondered why you keep repeating old behaviors? Are you battling internal voices that say you aren’t good enough? My practice focuses on adults dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, childhood trauma, and relationship issues - including dating and negotiating forms of consensual non-monogamy.

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.

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.

I believe that everyone has the potential to heal and create satisfying lives for themselves. You're probably interested in starting therapy because you want to make changes in your life and in how you feel, and I consider it my job to facilitate the changes you’re looking for. My clients describe me as warm, accepting, and honest. I believe that the quality of the relationship between us will make a big difference the success of your therapy and want to embody respect and caring.

I provide a safe, supportive space for couples and individuals. We negotiate together how to optimize your experience of living life, your relationships, your work, and we continue to build on that. I believe that we all have the capacity to heal and build the life that we want to live.

Life can be hard for all of us - pain, disappointment, and loss are inevitable. Luckily, we humans are wired for growth, resilience, and survival. As a counselor, I offer a supportive and accepting environment in which to explore yourself, to feel connected and understood. Counseling is a safe place to unburden yourself of the things you've been carrying around, to learn more about yourself, imagine a better life, and try out new ways of being and doing.

It takes strength and courage to reach out for help. I have faced many challenges in childhood, as a mom, and in a relationship. I believe that the healing work I have done with these challenges has helped me to better show up with compassion and humility. We are all in this together. I work from a somatic body based trauma informed lens. I use the following modalities: brainspotting, cognitive therapy, music therapy, creative arts therapy, psychodrama, EMDR, experiential therapy, coaching, psychodramatic body work, advanced integrative therapy, and I am a Brene Brene Brown Daring Way Facilitator.

Only T/W/TH morning appointments available currently until 10/2024. What keeps holding you back from experiencing the joy, wholeness, and calm you are seeking? There are parts of self that serve to support us through times of stuck-ness and low points, trauma and loss, complex health experiences and pain, community and environmental crisis, disconnection and isolation in our relationships...and these internal conflicts might be keeping you from a full, authentic connection to yourself and all of your world. Awareness is a big step, yet also needs compassion and integration to energize and grow. Expand your journey. The time is now.

For the past twenty years my professional practice as a psychotherapist has co-evolved with my personal practice as a meditator and a student of Buddhist thought. As a result, the work I do with clients draws on wisdom from both Eastern and Western understandings of how suffering arises and how we can either ease it, or magnify it, with our choices of thought and behavior. My goal is to create a space of curiosity, compassion, and humor where we can identify the troublesome patterns in your life and develop wise responses to them.

Clients who work best with me are curious and open. They're ready for a deep dive in self-discovery in order to ditch the old patterns that hold them back. Many of my clients are currently (or prepping for) exploring ethical non-monogamy. Others may be navigating big life changes, like pregnancy, graduating college, or a big move. My clients are eager to feel confident, fulfilled, and fully alive. Together, we will navigate towards stability, confidence, and excitement in your life and relationships!

Have you seen a few therapists but felt that you were unable to get to the roots of your issues and experience transformational change and lasting relief? Desensitizing the body's threat response creates the internal safety to respond to situations in a healthier way. I work with clients who are looking for new ways to cope with life, and seek to change the behaviors and thinking patterns that are no longer serving them. The way that we think and feel about ourselves has a profound impact on our quality of life and how we work through our problems.

My intention is to serve through compassion. I have profound trust in our innate capacities for love and healing, and work with my clients to relieve their suffering by creating pathways for deep and authentic connections with ourselves, others, and our world.
