Work with Me!
Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Louisiana.

I hope that when we talk, you feel safe, supported and empowered to make lasting changes. I look forward to working with you! I earned a Masters of Social Work (MSW) from Tulane University.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Gay Chalpin. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I couldn’t have made it through the pandemic without her. She keeps me on track and is so helpful to me.

I've been seeing Dr. Chalpin for 3-4 months now and she has been utterly amazing in helping me find myself again. I still have a considerable amount of work to do but the path has become much clearer after my sessions with Dr. Chalpin. She's helped me identify the root causes of my distress and offered me a forum to think deeply about them each week. She proactively checks in on me and lets me know she is thinking of me which truly means a lot. She demonstrates tremendous empathy and I look forward to every opportunity we have to chat. It's impossible to convey the depth of my gratitude to her.

She really makes it feel like I’m talking to a friend who won’t judge me on anything. I look forward to our talks every weeks. Even when Wrong in a situation she helps me see everything away from the emotions. I really appreciate all she does.
