Therapists in New Orleans, LA
New Orleans, LA, is known for many things: Mardi Gras, world-class Cajun and Creole cuisine, distinctive architecture, Bourbon Street, and jazz music, to name a few. Roughly 18.5 million people visit the city every year to indulge in all the exciting things it has to offer.
It can be challenging to find the right therapist. Those in individual practices may have few appointments available, and the cost can be prohibitive, whether you have insurance or not. With an online platform like BetterHelp, you can access mental health services on your schedule from the comfort of home. BetterHelp subscriptions are between $65 to $90 per week (billed every four weeks), which may be more affordable than in-person treatment.
Whether you prefer a licensed professional counselor LPC, clinical social worker, or other mental health professional, you and your therapist can work through a range of challenges together. Reach out to a New Orleans-based counselor if you need trauma informed treatment to deal with eating disorders or family conflict, support with learning how to manage stress or perform self care, or anything in between. When you communicate openly and commit to the collaborative process, you can work with your therapist for a more fulfilling life.

I am licensed in Louisiana as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and have been working as a therapist for over a decade. I am also a genderqueer therapist (they/them) who wants to create a loving, understanding space for the LGBTQIA+ community. I want the process of counseling to be a safe journey towards the life my clients can say "yes" to. I believe in the client being the expert of themselves, and their path is set by their dreams, hopes, and desires, not my agenda. I believe a full, beautiful life is possible for all people, I want to help you in your path towards that beauty, whatever that may mean to you. My specialty is working with clients who are neurodivergent, but specifically those with Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. However, I also have experience working with clients with various issues, diagnoses and concerns. I work from a humanistic perspective meaning that I believe humans are naturally good and possess the abilities to live the lives they want to live.
