Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in La Place, LA

Being a caregiver can be a landmine, and when that landmine gets tripped, it can look much different than just burnout. It can look like always doing and moving and worrying, because of a fear of everything falling apart if you slow down. It can look like feeling disconnected from or mistrusting of your body or emotions. It can look like self-sacrifice being a measure of your worth. It can look like rage, helplessness, and scary intrusive thoughts. And it can certainly feel like it's a YOU problem, when really, you may be responding the best you know how to an unsupportive environment.

Life during parenthood can be beautiful but also extremely challenging. Feeling stressed, anxious, hyper vigilant, angry, worried, sad, burnt out, spread too thin, unsupported, or just not like yourself can add to the already challenging job set before you as a parent, but there is hope. You are not alone in feeling this way, and you do not need to continue feeling this way. I understand that you want to be able to enjoy your parenthood journey, and life, once again, and I will guide you to relief, clarity, and healing through warmth, understanding, and treatment methods designed specifically for parents.

Navigating adversity while maintaining self-compassion can be difficult. I strive to provide person centered care to individuals, families and couples. My approach to therapy is individualized, with consideration of the uniqueness of each client's preferences and needs. I utilize trauma informed care with traditional therapeutic methods such as solution focused therapy. I received my Bachelor of Arts from Louisiana State University and my Master’s in Social Work from Southern University at New Orleans. My office is conveniently located in Metairie, and I offer virtual/telehealth appointments.

Has grief stolen your joy? Has trauma ripped the rug out from beneath you? Have you experienced an unexpected or sudden loss? If so, I’d bet you’re overwhelmed with how to find your footing in a world that doesn’t slow down. I’d also guess you’ve begun to distance yourself from friends and family because you feel misunderstood, and maybe even minimized, in how you're navigating the aftermath. The weight of grief and trauma can be paralyzing, causing us to disconnect from the support we need. I'm Heather, and I’d love to help shoulder some of that weight while we integrate the grief and trauma in a way that doesn’t feel so heavy.

Welcome! I'm Straley Grafton, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Choosing a therapist is an important decision, and I am committed to creating a nurturing and nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. My dedication to your well-being extends beyond our sessions, as I am invested in your progress and growth every step of the way. Sessions are tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Are you feeling anxious? Are you overwhelmed & overstimulated? Are you saying things like "I just don't feel like myself" and feel like this isn't how things should be? Every step of the journey through fertility/infertility, pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period can sometimes feel like an uphill battle no one prepared you for. In a time where others expect you to feel bliss, it is frustrating when you feel sadness, hopelessness, and fear instead. You don't have to suffer with anxiety, depression, & your scary thoughts alone. You are not your thoughts, and your feelings are valid.

Welcome! I specialize providing psychotherapy for adults coping with depression, anxiety and stress. LGBTQ clients are always welcome. I have a special interest in providing mental health support for conception, pregnancy, postpartum, adoption, and infertility. Whether you're currently pregnant, coping with the stress of a new baby, dealing with infertility or considering adoption, I would be honored to help you navigate the seasons of new parenthood. I also enjoy working with birthparents, adoptive families and adoptees coping with identity, reunion, and grief issues.

Do you feel sad, anxious, stressed out, not sure where to turn? Do you have trouble sleeping or just not happy with the direction your life is going? Are you struggling with addiction or relationship issues? By making the brave decision to attend therapy, we can work on these issues resulting in less anxiety and depression and improved quality of life. I am a licensed professional counselor with over 16 years experience. I specialize in anxiety, depression and relationship issues.

Choosing to connect with a therapist can be a difficult decision to make. I am proud of you for making it this far! My professional experience has consisted of working with individuals who experience depression, anxiety, difficult life transitions, perinatal mental health (a focus on mental health and all things pregnancy related), grief/loss, self-care (caring for yourself, setting health boundaries), and family systems (family conflict, learning who you are in your family system etc.). If you are looking to process your challenges, and learn healthy tools to address them, I am excited to be one of your resources.

I have worked in the mental health for 7 years. I am a direct and very realistic therapist, and this comes from a place of care, kindness, & a willingness to challenge old thinking patterns & habits that may be hindering you from achieving your goals. I work well with clients who have felt stuck, stagnant in life circumstances, & are struggling to figure out their purpose & feeling fulfilled in their life. Areas I am experienced working with include: self-esteem issues, identity concerns, communication skills, boundary & relationship concerns, positive self-talk, anxiety issues, & depression management.

Welcome! I am here to help you work through life's tough transitions and emotional difficulties. I provide an approach based in acceptance, but I also find it important to be direct and give concrete solutions and responses to my clients. I use many different treatment modalities, dependent on what best fits you and your needs. I have specialized training in cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed care. I also recently obtained certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) as a specialist for women struggling with mood while pregnant through postpartum and beyond.

Come as you are...And let's make space for all pieces and parts of YOU that create your world. During many transitions in life, especially with becoming a parent/caregiver in a variety of ways - together, we can hold space for your struggles and growth, broaden your understanding of the bias we are constantly surrounded by and are dealing with and increase awareness of your own presence within your environment.

Welcome, I’m Hailey, a Cajun wife, mother, and social work therapist, offering support to parents and those experiencing a loss. My work experience includes, educational advocacy, hospice/bereavement care, pediatric case management, and maternal/child medical social work. I'm passionate about working with the perinatal population, including: moms, dads, birth parents, partners, adoptive parents, foster parents, individuals experiencing major life transitions, grief and bereavement (specifically pregnancy, infant, or pediatric loss), and parents living with, and/or caring for a child with, a medical and/or developmental condition.

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.

You feel overwhelmed by life, you're trying to remember your old self, you're not sure how you're coping with what life has thrown at you. Something has to change and for some reason you're feeling stuck. You're feeling like this is your new identity and you're drowning. Now imagine liking yourself again and being kind and forgiving to yourself, even when you're not checking off all the items on that endless to-do list. I can help navigate these feelings and help you find peace within yourself. You don't have to continue feeling this way.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience in the State of Louisiana, and 2 years of experience working in the State of New Jersey (teletherapy). I am passionate about helping my clients work through life's many challenges, while offering an empathetic, non-judgmental ear and helping individuals realize their full potential. I believe that everyone has the ability to change and become the best version of themselves.

Accepting new clients! I help with a range of issues, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, work stress, life transitions, family or other relationship stress, and body image concerns. I also specialize in infant and infant mental health. Are you struggling with mom guilt? Or maybe your parenting journey hasn't gone the way you expected: maybe you're facing infertility, pregnancy complications, a NICU stay, or pregnancy loss. Are you worried about postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, or birth trauma?

It’s hard to reach out for help and talk to someone you don’t know, so let me tell you about myself. I have over 10 years of experience working with a wide range of diagnosis. I am a Christian and welcome incorporating faith-based or spiritual perspectives into therapy. I work with you at your pace to help you move forward in the present, reconcile past pains, and better understand your situation in order to heal and find relief.

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!
