I have experience in multiple fields including child/ adolescent behavioral health, juvenile criminal justice, as well as experience in adult substance abuse and mental health treatment.
Hey there and welcome! I understand that sometimes the hardest part of therapy is that first jump. Rapport building and developing the foundation for a healthy therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance to me. My name is Katie Dauterive, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Louisiana. My passion is to help others grow to be their best and truest selves, to process unwelcome thoughts, and teach coping skills for a better mental state. I know firsthand the search for a therapist that is non-judgmental, compassionate, and empathetic. I look forward to personifying these values in therapy with you.

The areas I specialize in are depression, anxiety, chronic stress, work/life balance, and adolescent /parenting issues.
Do you ever feel like you're not "good enough"? Or, are you overcome by stress? Is anxiety ruling your life and stopping you from succeeding? If so, has family or friends been able to understand what you are going through or have you felt all alone? Sometimes you need someone more qualified to actively listen to your problems and assist you in overcoming these challenges and transitions. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience compassionately listening to individuals' life stories and empowering each client to reach solutions that work for them.

I invite you to an open space to hear your own voice. In a fast pace world one may often find themselves feeling a sense of 'separation from self'. As you practice noticing your experience, and listening to the messages of your emotions and physiological sensations, a deeper understanding develops. By ‘attending and befriending' ones pain and suffering it settles inside, and symptoms of stress, depression, and anxiety become integrated into healthier lifestyle patterns allowing for greater joy and overall well-being.

My goal is to create a safe and empathetic environment that you feel accepted and comfortable in.

I have been a psychotherapist for 25 years. I see adults and adolescents. I do not see children, 11 and under. Psychotherapy works best when the process seeks change. The focus of change needs to be delineated through a collaborative relationship between therapist and client. As a Ph.D. I understand the importance of applying evidence based methods and staying updated in relation to the current state of knowledge. This underlies your effectiveness as a therapist. Fees are reasonable and customary. I am on most major insurance panels. My office is in a safe location. I am the sole occupant.

I am a Faith Based (Catholic/Christian) License Professional Counselor. Certified in Trauma, Grief and Loss that loves working with Adolescents, Couples, Families and Individuals since 2004. I strongly believe that through our life our experiences may leave deep wounds that stop us from being loved by others and giving love to others. Through Therapy, one can begin to process these wounds, as a heart surgeon unclogs the arteries of the heart, and begin to feel like the loving individual that God created us to be and wants us to be

Therapy can be a powerful tool to develop insight, learn valuable coping skills, and foster resiliency.

Teen Therapists

What does therapy for teenagers look like?

When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?

There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?

You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
