Grief Therapists in Milan, New Orleans, LA

Seeking a counselor is a step we may take when there are aspects of our lives we want to improve, alter, or simply understand. My approach is holistic and collaborative.

My services are grounded in the firm belief that each of us is capable of creating health over dysfunction in our lives. Sessions are tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and learning style.

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.

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.

Hello! My name is Courtney Carrier, and I am an associate at Dr. Matt Morris & Associates of Metairie, Louisiana. Counseling can be an incredibly tough decision for someone to make.

Accepting New Clients- Are you struggling to make sense of the changes you are currently facing? Maybe you've lost an important relationship or a loved one? Have you been turning to food or substances to cope? When working with you, I will take an individualized approach that takes into consideration your beliefs and values. I work to meet my clients where they are in their healing process, while respecting and supporting them. I can provide you the space you need to process your pain and also teach you skills to help move through your process gracefully.

I believe that therapy inspires change by supporting self-awareness, insight, and growth which then impacts and improves one's life. With new insight, clients become aware of better strategies and new solutions when responding to challenges in their life. Goals of therapy can include changing behaviors that are holding you back, healing pain from your past, managing depression and anxiety, building relationship skills, and handling strong emotions such as fear, anger, sadness, and grief, to name just a few.

Taking the step towards exploring yourself is powerful, purposeful, and courageous. Through authentic connection and openness, I believe change, growth, and healing can occur. My goal is to provide a safe, therapeutic environment for you to delve into and process difficult life events, changes, and choices. Together, we identify areas that are impacting your thinking, behavior, and relationships, seek out and examine their origin, find meaning, and work towards achieving and practicing new, healthier ways of relating and understanding.

Hello and congratulations on having the self care and courage to consider counseling. I use a holistic approach, believing that wellness of the mind, body, and spirit are equally important. Using this approach, I work with clients with a variety of goals and needs. I can help you address relationship issues, family of origin issues, trauma, grief, and personal growth, while incorporating the use of mind body skills (such as breathing, meditation, guided imagery, etc.) when appropriate. My practice includes work with individuals, couples, and groups.

Are you having trouble adjusting to changes in your life, such as a loss of a relationship, difficult event, or shifts in career/job? Therapy can be useful in helping individuals cope with stress, and improve relationships with significant others, family members, and self. New Orleans Counseling & Hypnosis Center (NOCHC) values the healing qualities of a strong relationship between client and therapist. At NOCHC we use psycho-education to encourage better coping skills and self-care. NOCHC provides options to incorporate clinical hypnosis into treatment for those that are interested.

I have worked with hundreds of clients of all ages over the past thirty years, suffering with depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, eating disorders (obesity and the use of bariatric surgery), relationship issues, and major life disappointments. Choosing an ideal therapist is knowing that person is passionate about your well being and will exhaust every avenue to that end. Together we understand you deeply and to validate your best and minimize unnecessary judgments, resulting in an expanded and more satisfying life.

*Be aware I am not currently taking any new patients due to my schedule being completely full for the foreseeable future. I believe that healing can happen through the process of empathic and supportive counseling. I work with mood issues, personality disorders, grief, substance use and much more. I utilize a culturally sensitive and holistic psychodynamic style of therapy. This approach encourages development in all areas of life (relationships, thoughts, behaviors, emotions, careers, etc.), and pays special attention to unconscious factors and cultural identity (race, religion, sexuality, gender, disability, etc).

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience.

If you are currently going through struggles in life or hitting some obstacles, know that it's normal and it happens to all of us at various times. Anxiety and depressive symptoms often arise as a result. The question is, how are you coping? Sometimes without being aware of it, we develop destructive coping mechanisms by masking or shoving things down. With over 20 years of experience I help guide clients towards healthier tools to live a more functional and fulfilling life, and improve relationships along the way. Above all else the key component centers around self care, learning to take care of you.

I have over 20 years experience treating individuals in clinical and private practice settings using animal assisted therapy, art therapy, music therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, meditation and creative visualization. I have worked with children and adults with autism, developmental disabilities, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma.
