Therapists in Louisiana

I have a passion for connecting and helping people reach balance, direction, and live a more fulfilling life. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families. I have worked with people from various backgrounds with anxiety, depression, grief, stages of life, trauma, severe mental illness, and marital/relationship, and identity issues. Therapy is highly effective, but requires openness, patience, and dedication! I would love to work with you and help you on this journey called “Life.” I am currently taking new clients in person and through telehealth(zoom).

How you see yourself might be deeply influenced by the emotional distress, negative thought patterns, or destructive and addictive behaviors you struggle with. As a Holistic Health Practitioner, I believe these conditions cover up, rather than define, who you truly are. My unique approach to holistic health and wellness encourages a balanced integration of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of your wellbeing. I'd like to support you in creating optimal conditions for the safe, mindful, and deep exploration of your innate capacity for self-healing and radical transformation.

These last few years have presented many challenges for everyone. Depression, anxiety, addiction, grief and other issues are on a rise. It is not always easy to make the decision to reach out for therapy. However, therapy can help and support a person through what they are experiencing. Change is not easy; it takes courage to change and you do not have to face it alone. I have worked in acute care for many years with adults, elderly, children and adolescents. I feel confident to work with many mental health issues.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience, my practice is centered on helping my clients find balance and deepen their ability to access true wellbeing. My work, both inpatient and outpatient, has ranged from helping adolescents bolster self esteem and coping skills on one end to helping adults who have suffered from mood and personality disorders on the other. My specialty, though, lies in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders, and my work and anecdotal research has allowed me to develop a keen approach to the healing of these ailments on the path to achieving long term mental wellness.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I utilize a variety of methods including cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, meditation, psychodynamic, yoga and others. We will explore and define present areas of unhappiness and feeling stuck. We will develop positive skills that will allow you to create the life you desire. I believe every individual is capable of healing from within. We will work on removing patterns of thinking and behavior that are self harming. So that you can move forward through learning about yourself.

Are you looking for effective professional mental health counseling you can trust and know will guide you through where you are to where you are hoping to find yourself? Be assured, we can help! Our therapists help make sense of where you are and how you arrived there. We'll journey together toward finding hope and healing so that you can live a healthy, content, and meaningful life. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, anger, PTSD, spiritual matters, sexual abuse, physical abuse, marriage conflicts, addiction, or repeating the same behavioral patterns of self-destruction, there is HOPE for living healed.

I believe that the therapeutic process should be individualized to meet your specific goals and needs while identifying and building upon your strengths. I enjoy working collaboratively to discover your potential, while gaining better understanding and awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My goal is to create a welcoming, peaceful, and nonjudgmental space where you are able to prioritize yourself and your emotions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Board Approved Clinical Supervisor with 21 years of mental health experience, and have a law degree. I treat a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression and bi-polar depression, relationship issues and couple's counseling, and family mediation.

Are you ready for deep and lasting change? Are you willing to practice self-compassion for those wounded parts that hold you back from a fulfilling life? Therapy is a courageous act of exploring and releasing old wounds, discovering and embracing authenticity, and learning to make conscious choices with compassion. I have nineteen years of experience using a unique blend of integrative therapies that include somatic awareness, mindfulness, Jungian psychology, and spiritually focused counseling that will allow you to uncover subconscious traumatic patterns, internalized cognitive distortions, and maladaptive coping strategies.

Welcome and thank you for choosing to learn more about how I can support your healing journey. I have been pleased to work with diverse populations including individuals (adults, adolescents, and children), families, and Veterans experiencing imbalances that are created by life stressors and trauma. I’ve also assisted families and parents in implementing parenting skills and strengthening child and family relationships. By utilizing the preferred frameworks, clients will begin to pair strategies and skills with skills they already possess for mental health stability.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience. I graduated with a Masters of Social Work degree in 2004 from Southern University at New Orleans. I have worked in various settings providing individual, group, marriage and family therapy to individuals of all ages and populations facing a variety of challenges. I am here to help you on your journey to achieving your goals and living your best life.

You Ready? Ready to work? Because therapy is work. It's a commitment, not only to yourself, but to the ones you love. Our team of Elite therapists embrace the unconventional. In a world where individuality is often subdued, we stand out by celebrating our uniqueness. Our practice goes beyond traditional therapy; it's an exploration of SELF-discovery, integrating elements of creativity, mindfulness, and holistic well-being. We go deep! I have seen miracles in real life I cannot say enough about the power of therapy. IF you're ready, we're ready to see you through this. Let's get to work. Congratulations in advance on your new life.

I work with adults of all ages and backgrounds who are wishing to explore what it means to become the best version of themselves that they can be at this time. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, lifestyle changes, or problems with addiction, I can offer my unique perspectives with an open heart and mind. I enjoy working with individuals or couple that are struggling to make consistent changes, or are making limited progress and could use some support from a professional.

We commend you for making the right choice for you, to create the life that you desire by working through whatever concerns or challenges that you may be experiencing. We know that sharing intimate details about your life may be challenging, but it will be our pleasure to help you navigate your way through this process. We have over 30 years of combined experience. We have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, couples counseling, life skills development, parenting issues, career planning and coaching, ADHD, substance abuse, Military issues/concerns, sexual assault & PTSD.

Therapy can be a transformative and liberating process that allows us to uncover hidden meanings beneath the patterns and behaviors that keep us stuck. I offer an in-depth approach where we work together to explore the areas of your life and identity in which you struggle. In order to build this type of relationship, I will provide you with a culturally sensitive, open, and accepting environment that enables exploration of experience and being.

With 9 years of experience working with all ages, I specialize in anxiety, depression, codependency, trauma, divorce, perfectionism, relationship issues, self-esteem, aging, women’s issues and life transitions. I particularly enjoy individuals who are open-minded, motivated, and willing to do the work while trusting the therapeutic process. It is so important to be willing to try new things by venturing out of your comfort zone during our time together. By not having to rely strictly on medication to mask your issues, therapy teaches you to cope with life’s struggles, and thus change your fearful view of the world.

I easily connect with and help those struggling with depression, trauma, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and addiction. Mindfulness-based techniques like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are very useful in the therapy room. I also enjoy learning about and sharing information on neuroscience and the findings that benefit our every day mental health. I love using meditation with my clients because the benefits are too many to count! I also teach my clients how to use cognitive defusion (looking AT thoughts rather than FROM them), present moment awareness, and acceptance.

My approach to counseling is to build a trusting, working partnership with my clients to assist and support them in identifying problems and obstacles which negatively impact emotional, relational, and functional wellbeing and to find effective, practical strategies for improving quality of life. I will collaborate with you to develop an individual, and personalized plan, consistent with your values and goals, and using research-based methods to assist you in achieving long-term, positive changes. In order to do this I draw from my experiences working with adolescents and adults with a wide variety of issues and experiences.

Clients who work best with me are curious and open. They're ready for a deep dive in self-discovery in order to ditch the old patterns that hold them back. Many of my clients are currently (or prepping for) exploring ethical non-monogamy. Others may be navigating big life changes, like pregnancy, graduating college, or a big move. My clients are eager to feel confident, fulfilled, and fully alive. Together, we will navigate towards stability, confidence, and excitement in your life and relationships!
