Therapists in Louisiana

Hi, I’m Jenise, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Board Approved Clinical Supervisor practicing in Louisiana since 2007. I graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University with a bachelors degree in psychology then earned my masters degree in social work from Southern University of New Orleans. My interest in the mental health field began in high school when I took a psychology class. This is when I realized I had a true interest in this work and wanting to help people with their life and mental health struggles. I currently work with adults on a multitude of life difficulties but focus primarily on depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, family stressors, anger management, low self esteem, mood difficulties, and overall life stressors. My therapeutic style is very client centered and eclectic, I utilize mindfulness, solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapy with my clients. I work with sincerity, compassion and nonjudgement and provide an environment where you can feel safe and comfortable to discuss your concerns and goals. Whatever you may be struggling with I am here to listen, support you and to help you figure it out. My philosophy is that therapy is all about you and I am here to help you through your journey!

I am a social worker licensed in Louisiana. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and individuals with a diagnosis of cancer and their families. I have an extensive background in medical social work with knowledge of disease processes and their effects on our social and emotional state as well as physical. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I am driven to provide what it takes to help you understand where you are and get you to where you want to be. It takes courage to seek support. Counseling is healthy and I think everyone could benefit from it in some way. I love helping others achieve wellness and mental health. I look forward to meeting you.

My name is Drauzin Kern and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker. Over the past thirty 37 years, I have been fortunate to have worked closely with clients over a broad range of challenges including depression, coping with grief and loss, LGBTQIA+ related concerns, relationship issues, compassion fatigue and managing life-changes. I completed my graduate studies at Columbia University School of Social Work in New York in 1988 and I practiced psychotherapy in New York, California and Louisiana. My husband Nick and I currently make our home in South Louisiana, USA, along with our wonderful, Willis. Being a therapist is my life’s work. My intention is to meet every client with respect, understanding, compassion and without judgement. My theoretical approach incorporates Humanistic and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and I work collaboratively with every client to develop a treatment plan that will best address their needs. I have great admiration for every person that chooses the path of vulnerability when entering therapy. Vulnerability, according to Brene Brown, is STRENGTH. But it can take great courage to embrace our vulnerable humanity, but when we do, we are already on the path of transformation and joy. Vulnerability allows us to "speak our truth," and the TRUTH always sets us free. Best wishes!

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in WA and LA but I am Australian and have been in the US since 2015. I have many years of experience working with individuals and families with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, domestic violence, incarceration and those involved in the child welfare system including foster care. I myself am a cancer survivor and lost a loved one through violence so I feel I have a good understanding of these particular issues also. I have a casual, warm and empathetic style incorporating different approaches but the main thing is building a relationship whereby you feel heard and validated and we work together utilizing your own strengths to improve your situation and create the change you desire. I look forward to hearing your story, and ensuring that therapy is a meaningful process to you and adds value to your life. I am only offering short term therapy via PHONE sessions so if this does not suit you then you might find someone who offers other modalities.
