Therapists in New Orleans, LA

He who has a why to live can bear any how. Many of us are in some form of suffering, and this can derail us from a meaningful life. Learning how to live with our pain so as to gain purpose and meaning is a true endeavor. From a collaborative process, I help my clients to establish what purpose they seek and discover ways to validate our pain, learning to control rather than being controlled by our fears, depression, et cetera. Through therapeutic interventions, we can learn to accept how we think, feel, and act. Subsequently allowing us the opportunity to discover new areas for growth and healing..

Edith has worked with people managing issues like: Anxiety, Depression, Complex Trauma, and Grief. In addition, Edith has experience working with clients enduring systemic inequalities. As a social justice advocate, she works within an intersectional framework.

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 believe art is a language everyone once spoke fluently- an innate ability we all possess. As children, we use visual imagery as a way to understand and navigate our surroundings and this serves as our personal connection to the world. My long relationship to visual art and intimacy with various media informs the way I guide you toward your own personal uncovering and self-exploration. Art is the central force of our work together and we continue to remain open and curious about what story it may reveal.

Therapy can help people to explore emotions and behaviors and change their lives for greater peace and happiness.

Hi! Therapy is a very courageous process so being this far in your journey is tremendous. Perhaps you know exactly what brings you this point and you're just looking to connect with the right person to do the good work. Maybe, you're not quite sure what's going on and want to do some exploration. If we establish a counseling relationship, then our work will be centered in honesty, authenticity, and a development of trust.

If you’re looking for a place to go deep and sort through your own stuff so it stops holding you back, I can help. I will provide a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space that makes room for you and all of your wonderful weirdness. I believe that you are the expert on your experience, and it is my passion to be with you and support your unique process of growth and healing. I have experience working with teens and adults, from a variety of backgrounds, who have experienced trauma. As a queer therapist, I’m particularly adept at working with the LGBTQIA+, kink, and non-monogamous communities.

Engaging in the therapeutic process can be an incredibly rewarding act of self care. Sometimes we may feel overwhelmed with life’s challenges or be struggling to understand our reactions and emotions. It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of life’s daily challenges, and not take the time to step back and try to ease the worry. By allowing yourself the time, you can begin to renew a sense of empowerment while also reducing feelings of distress.

Shame, perfectionism, trauma, codependency - if any of those those words describe your story, I'm glad you're here. Therapy is a process through which you get to decide on how the rest of your story goes and see yourself from a new, more gentle perspective. Whether you are healing from unresolved childhood trauma or trying to unhook from the pain of perfectionism, sessions with me will help you understand yourself more fully and make decisions that feel aligned with the life you want to lead. I will provide you with a warm, supportive, and inspiring space to talk through what you need to explore, judgment-free.

I approach psychotherapy as a collaborative, connected experience. Together, we work to make meaning of your experiences. I support folks struggling with a variety conditions, including: anxiety, depression, personality & mood disorders, and relationship difficulties. My main interest lies in healing the brain, mind, body, and spirit from trauma, complex trauma, and dissociation.

In life, challenges and transitions are inevitable, because of this, self-preservation is key. Therapy provides the opportunity for one to become the best version of themselves. I work to help clients understand and identify their own strengths and incorporating coping skills while processing aspects of the past to create an understand to the causes of our behaviors. Helping other work through transitional periods of life such as life transitions, work, relationships, school, etc have also been a part of my clinical skills.

As a clinician I seek to create a collaborative, safe, and accepting environment where clients can work toward change and wellness. In developing a trusting relationship with my clients I like to engage in a relaxed and conversational manner.

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.

I use an integrated approach to provide individual counseling and play therapy services to adults and children. I am interested in aiding clients who deal with difficulties surrounding divorce, daily stressors, relationship issues, anxiety and depression. I intend to focus on working with children and families attempting to readjust to the rules and roles of the new family structure that can surface. I will provide a safe environment where clients can work collaboratively with me to identify concerns and process them. I will help clients use this new awareness to determine effective coping and communication skills.

I view counseling as a collaborative, creative process in which we work together to examine how your behavior, beliefs, and relationships are or are not meeting your current needs. Sometimes the coping strategies we've developed are no longer serving us, but we have not yet found a new way of being in the world. I believe in the power of relationships for healing and growth. As your therapist, I will facilitate a safe, judgment-free space in which we can explore problem areas, develop goals for an improved life, and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals.

My 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist in New Orleans, along with my own life experience, has provided me with a solid knowledge base and depth which I bring to my work with young adults and adults. I seek to develop a safe and trusting relationship with each client which I believe is the foundation needed to bring about healing and change.
