Bipolar Disorder Therapists in Metairie, LA

Clients struggling with mood disorders (anxiety, depression, bipolar ) can find help with therapy to confront and understand their issues. Accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment planning can bring hope to your stress with ADHD and adjustment disorders. Trauma is often at the root of many problems. Individuals and families can work together in their community to find peace and satisfaction in their relationships, education and work.

I am passionate about facilitating healing through the therapeutic process and helping clients reach their goals. I provide a safe environment for my clients to explore and process the stressors that occur in life. I believe in an individualistic method to counseling, meaning I meet the clients where they are in life and tailor my skills around what works best for them. I believe that people are the experts of their lives, and have the strengths within them to overcome any challenge they face.

I am a New Orleans native, earning my undergraduate degree from Dillard University and Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Xavier University of New Orleans.

Thank you for considering me for your counseling needs. As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I have worked with individuals suffering from a variety of mental illnesses, such as Bipolar Mood Disorder, Schizophrenia, Depression and Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, and OCD. I also offer discreet concierge counseling services to Active Duty Military Personnel - Law Enforcement - and First Responders (Fire - Paramedics - etc.), and I am a member of the New Orleans Police Department's Officer Assistance Program, and I am an Area Clinician for the DEA New Orleans Division.

I am an individual and family counselor with over 12 years of experience working with clients in home, school, community-based and office settings. I believe in a holistic approach to mental health, emphasizing spirituality and self-development. I have been successful in providing therapeutic solutions and support to children, teens and adults. I am familiar with the struggles that many clients have and pride myself in the ability to help others be the greatest version of themselves. I believe that awareness of self is one of the many keys to successfully getting through most challenges.

Asking for help is difficult, sometimes overwhelming. Most people are touched by anxiety, depression, relationship issues and even addiction at some point in their lives, either within themselves or a family member. I create a safe, relaxing and inviting space for you to begin dealing with these difficult, but treatable issues. Many people, particularly men, are socialized to ignore or never discuss their innermost feelings and worries. College students often struggle with questions about whom they are and whom they want to become. Parents often feel powerless to help their children. Together, we can work toward achieving your goals.

I have a special interest in preserving children and families. I have also been successful in providing therapeutic solutions to younger and older adults. I am familiar with the struggles that many mental health challenges have on the routines of everyday life, such as school and work. I am also aware of the impact of mental heath challenges on the family. Stress, even though not seen to most as a mental health challenge can also be a reason that my services are sought.

I treat a variety of issues but the issues I am best suited to treating are anger management and anxiety and depression.

Welcome! For over 30 years, I have had the privilege of helping clients as an interactive and solution focused therapist. People seek therapy for many reasons, but most involve the profound need for change. Change can be seen as exciting, unsettling, challenging, and fulfilling. As your psychotherapist I will help you identify the obstacles that have prevented you from realizing your true potential. As a collaborative team, we will identify goals and craft solutions for your journey towards transformation. Feel free to contact me for a consultation

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with adolescents and adults on a variety of issues. I have a special interest in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and women's issues. By understanding how debilitating these issues can be, I provide an empathic and safe place to begin the counseling process. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to overcome the symptoms of their issues.

I'm a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, which means that I help people to work through their issues from a body-oriented approach, focusing on autonomic nervous system responses; i.e. flight, flight, freeze, etc. I strive to create a warm and safe therapeutic space that allows healing to naturally take place. My approach is person-centered and collaborative; with each client receiving individualized care depending on their life history, current issues, and personal goals. I have special interest in helping people who experience caregiver burnout, anxiety, grief, and other trauma-related symptoms.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples, addressing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, family issues, relationships, self-esteem, anger management, ADHD, personality disorder, behavioral challenges, etc. I have 16 years of experience providing intensive outpatient counseling to individuals and groups. I strongly believe that counseling is a partnership between the therapist and the client, designed to arrive at the needed objectives and goals. Whereas the therapist has skills and training, the client is always the expert on themselves and their families. Only through working together with regard for the dignity and worth of each individual can challenges be alleviated and strengths enhanced.

It takes courage to reach out to another for support with life events, stress, and relationships. My goal in working with you is to provide support by observing and better utilizing your strengths while identifying what is getting in your way. Together we will explore how you can better manage symptoms of trauma, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship stress while recognizing harmful coping mechanisms and behaviors that are holding you back, such as substance misuse and disordered eating.

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.

Entering into therapy can be a difficult decision, and I want to welcome you to this wonderful process. I believe that building a healthy "human to human" relationship can create a safe space for people to work through the issues that push them into seeking help. Using a combination of different treatment modalities, I aim to walk WITH you through the issues you may be facing to reach a solution together.
