Sexual Abuse Therapists in Central City, New Orleans, LA

Accepting Louisiana (in person in the New Orleans area or virtual) and Texas (virtual only) new clients. 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, incorporating coping skills while processing aspects of the past to create an understanding of the causation of our behaviors. Helping others work through transitional periods of life such as life, careers, relationships, school, etc., has also been a part of my clinical skills.

Imagine a life where you are confident and happy, your relationships are strong, and your past is healed. Picture a self-assured you, skilled at expressing your needs and boundaries and building healthy relationships. Whether you're seeking support as an individual, couple, or family, we'll work together to equip you with the tools to become this version of yourself. You can build self-esteem, overcome recurring arguments, and cultivate intimacy and trust in your relationships. If you're ready to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and loved ones and leave old patterns behind, I'm here to offer my guidance every step of the way.

I work with a wide range of clients, but have a particular focus on working with neurodiversity and/or trauma. I believe in being an active listener, and engaging clients about their own goals. In my counseling practice I work to build a helping relationship with clients and help clients reach their goals through personal insight, examination of experiences and practice of new coping skills. As a behavior analyst, I work with clients to determine goals and skills that will help clients build relationships, enhance safety and learn. ABA is primarily provided to children who have been diagnosed with autism and includes parent training

Hello I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for working with children, adolescents, and individuals struggling with trauma either current or past. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their emotions, avoidances, recurring patterns, and past and present experiences and relationships. I strive to provide a listening and empathic presence, encourage interpretation and insight to work through presenting problems to achieve your desired goal(s). My hope is that my creative, caring, and straight forward approach to therapy provides a therapeutic relationship that allows you to feel welcomed, supported, and heard.

Hello, I offer two primary areas of evidence based clinical expertise, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Individuals and Couple Therapy for Stress Related Problems to private clients. I take a strategic and evidence based approach to understanding your presenting concerns. I believe in the importance of assessment to track progress while working to achieve personal and relational goals and to enhance overall satisfaction and quality of life. I am transparent, forward and supportive during all stages of treatment beginning with assessment & recommendations, pre-treatment planning & education, & effective therapeutic intervention.

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.

Since 2000, I've been working in the New Orleans and Acadiana communities helping children, families, and adults. As a social worker, I firmly believe that it is my calling to provide a safe and supportive environment for you, your child, or your family. I have worked extensively with people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, maternal/ postpartum depression, pregnancy/ infant loss, reproductive mental health, and family issues. I have a certificate in Infant Mental Health as well as a Perinatal Mental Health Certification which gives me a unique perspective for us to explore together.

Change takes effort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you make that change. CBT is like finding a map to a more ideal life and learning that life is much closer than you had thought. This form of therapy teaches you how to change your thinking, with an initial focus on improving the here-and-now with smaller focus on the past. Practice is essential and CBT involves work, but that work often yields results. CBT can help improve mood, reduce anxiety and fears, change unhelpful behaviors, make relationships better, and lead to a richer, more satisfying life.

I believe that the counseling process is a journey between the therapist and client where we collectively develop a treatment plan to address areas of concern. Although each person may enter therapy for different reasons, my intent is to identify and work toward goals of the client becoming a happy, healthier and well adjusted being.

“You need to learn to be happy on your own,” "You're too sensitive,” "Stop overthinking." These kinds of judgements and criticisms are incorrect and make you feel worse. How you see your story, and what actions you take in your life as a result, can either create stress, sadness, anger, and inner turmoil; or joy, inspiration, hope, and relaxation. What could someone say to you that would make you feel understood or at peace instead of bad, unworthy, or "crazy," and how can you consistently know those "good" things about you instead of thoughts that make you feel bad? I help my clients find unique, true answers to these questions.

I have experience working with clients from various backgrounds, presenting with multiple different mental health concerns. I have the most experience and training in working with survivors of trauma. Many of my clients have suffered unbearable loss, abuse, neglect, and traumatic experiences outside of their control. They need help in identifying and regaining control over their symptoms that stem from the trauma they have endured. They need a safe relationship in which they are able to reprocess the events and reactions to the hardest things they have experienced. They want to not feel trapped in their traumatic memory.

knowing where to begin when seeking help can be tough. If you wonder if you are in the right place to get help, here are 8 examples, you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, you cannot escape asking why this happened to you, you have done everything you know to do, you are consumed during the day and lie awake at night fighting fears, discomfort, and pain, you struggle to articulate/deny feelings of guilt and shame, you feel inadequate and different, you seek to find or realign with your purpose, at times, your life does not feel worthy of living.

As a seasoned psychologist, I have been fortunate enough to work with people with wide-ranging backgrounds. I've helped motivated patients overcome and adapt to health and fertility issues, grief, divorce, marital problems, substance abuse, anxiety and depression, adjusting to life changes such as starting college, graduation, career changes, and retirement . If you wish to make a change or want to master or better manage intense and bothersome emotions, please call me for a phone consultation or to set up and initial appointment.

Are you experiencing circumstances, relationships, emotions or behaviors that make it difficult for you to enjoy life’s journey? Therapy provides you with a safe trusting environment in which you feel understood and challenged to explore underlying feelings and issues that interfere with personal fulfillment.

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.

I enjoy working with adults, families, adolescents, and children. I have worked with issues such as grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, divorce/separation, family issues, coping with life changes, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and bullying. The needs and goals of my clients are to discover personal wellness and empowerment. I also help build a better bond and understanding between parents and their children/adolescents.
