Self Esteem Therapists in New Orleans, LA

Are you experiencing personal and relational issues? Do you experience anxiety, insecurities, self-esteem, imposter syndrome and other issues? Or, are you self-assured but need support navigating non-traditional professional spaces. Are you experiencing issues within a traditional, non-traditional or blended family system? Do you need a non-judgement, confidential safe space to share your heart and experience healing?

First, I want to commend you for taking this courageous first step on your healing journey. A simple Google search for counselors in your area may not seem like much; however many never make it that far. The fact that you are here reading this message is a clear indication of your desire to heal, grow, & transform; and that within itself is an action worth celebrating! So kudos to you for having the courage to choose & honor yourself! So here's a little about me: I'm a Counselor, Reiki Master Teacher, and Spiritual Coach.

Healing is a journey not a destination. I would be honored to support you and your child on this journey. My name is Keva and I am an LPC who has a strong passion for working with kids and adolescents 7-17, who have experienced trauma. I work with kids in helping them explore their emotions, understand body regulation, recognize unhealthy patterns and help them find new and healthier coping skills. I do this through play therapy, talk therapy and in any other way that may be healing for my client. I simply enjoy incorporating creative approaches to the needs of each client I work with.

If you struggle with self-doubts and low self-esteem but have bravely decided it is time to face your fears and take actions to create a more fulfilling life, you are in the right place! You deserve to take up space, share your ideas, live without shame, ask for help, and pursue your dreams regardless of your challenges, differences, and imperfections. There is no better time to listen to your inner wisdom, step into your power, and live a life that makes you proud!

Struggling with finding your true voice? Hesitant in making the best decisions for yourself? Spending too much time worrying about what others think or what they'd expect of you? Take a deep breath... Life is complicated. Balancing work, family, relationships, living life for others can overshadow living for oneself. It's not selfish, it's selfcare. It's important to take the time to address your personal needs and often caring for others can get in the way of doing so. Through a Therapeutic Alliance, Counseling creates a space where sorting through life's challenges and establishing balance becomes possible.

Therapy is an incredible way to show ourselves holistic care, and it can look totally different for everyone seeking help. Maybe it’s time for a change, or you’re going through something hard. You may need support building new coping skills, unlearning harmful habits, or finding affirmation. Maybe you just need to feel less alone in this challenging world. Whatever your reason for coming in, I will be committed to helping you reach your goals, while we develop safety and trust. For LGBTQIA+ folks: I identify as queer and trans, if you’re looking for someone who can relate to your experiences.

Life is full of stressors, transitions, loss, celebrations, and everything in between. Human beings were created for connection and to live in relationship with one another. We were not made to walk through life alone. If you are heavily preoccupied with specific thoughts, facing life after a loss, or are feeling alone, then a positive resource could be a therapist. If you or your child/teen are simply having a hard time managing emotions, then I would be happy to work with you.

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.

Are you feeling unmotivated, experiencing sadness and low self-esteem in one or more areas of your life? Are you tired of struggling with relationships, work life balance, and overall life transitions that come with adulting? Are you feeling stagnate, like you should be doing more, but something is holding you back from reaching your true potential? Life doesn’t have to be filled with overwhelm, self-doubt, and “what ifs.” You can have true happiness, despite the obstacles that life throws at you, and start being more present and live a life filled with happiness and success.

I strive to create an inviting, calm, non-judgmental, supportive, collaborative environment for you. My focus is working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, poor self esteem , peer conflict, family issues, grief, past adverse experiences, life transitions, or general life stress and overwhelm. Together, we can help you to build better life balance, positive coping skills, greater emotional regulation in addition to exploring emotional, spiritual, intellectual, career, educational, and physical/health related goals.

Sometimes the human experience can be incredibly challenging, scary, and lonely. I am here to remind you that you are not alone in this...you are worthy of healing and support. I have a strong appreciation for the resiliency of human beings. Let's figure out what it means to you to experience personal well-being and fulfillment! I use an integrative approach, offering counseling and play therapy services to children and adults with anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, relationship issues, women's issues, & life transitions. I work for Lotus Counseling & Recovery in Lafayette, LA.

“People start to heal, the moment they are heard.” – Cheryl Richardson. My therapeutic approach is quite eclectic and varies depending on the needs of my client. I typically implement techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. I pride myself in meeting my clients where they are at in their lives. I believe that my clients are the experts of their own lives and flourish when they are given non-judgmental support and encouragement from their therapist. I work collaboratively with my clients and use my acquired skill sets to support them with achieving their individual goals.

Most people who contact me for therapy are serious about getting the help they need. They want a therapist they can trust. As a clinical social worker I work with my clients to help them identify their goals and challenges. Like most therapists I offer a safe environment, acceptance, and concern. I may also offer feedback and make suggestions but I believe that it is the client's responsibility to decide how they want to resolve their specific issues.

Welcome! I believe in a collaborative counseling relationship; you’ve known yourself all your life, and I’m just getting the opportunity to meet you. Therefore, the first part of therapy involves learning how you approach and view the world. Then, together, we’ll identify how therapy can meet your needs and assess progress along the way. I have a passion for working with adults in life transitions navigating higher education, career changes, relationships, and grief/loss.

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.
