New Roads, Louisiana is in the heart of Creole country. The first settlement in New Roads goes back to 1822 as a link between False River and the Mississippi River settlements. The area was first settled by French immigrants from France, French Creoles, and Africans from the French West Indies. Since the beginning, New Roads has been an area based on agriculture: sugar cane, cotton, pecans, and other crops. In the early 1900s, New Roads became a resort community and began welcoming tourists and it still is today. People are drawn by the history of the area, the mix of peoples, cultures, and languages, and a place where ‘relaxation’ is revered as more than just a past-time. New Roads is famous for celebrating the oldest annual Mardi Gras outside of New Orleans.

If you cannot find peace and relaxation, perhaps it is time to turn to a licensed mental health therapist or counselor in the New Roads area. They can give you practical advice if you find you cannot cope alone. A therapist can help you define your goals and decide which goals are the most important to pursue.

I have also helped many people who have struggled with the effects of childhood trauma and abusive relationships. I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling in December of 2016, in New Orleans, LA. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. I approach therapy from a client-centered perspective: You determine your goals and direction for therapy, and I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I conduct therapy through a strengths-based and solutions-focused lens, and I draw on multiple treatment modalities to help clients achieve their desired goals, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance-and-Commitment Therapy. More specifically, I aim to help clients change their thoughts and perspectives to become more realistic and encouraging, while emphasizing purposeful acceptance and willingness to change. I also utilize interventions from Cognitive Processing Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients process traumatic experiences and manage difficult emotions. It takes courage to seek help to achieve positive changes and healing for a more fulfilling life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

My name is Dr. Danna Andrus. I am known to many as Dr. TRUTH. TRUTH is an acronym for the right understanding toward health happiness and healing. I am of the opinion that what heals quicker, and can be a permanent fix in an individual is when they are able to face the truth about themselves. I am from New Orleans Louisiana. I graduated from the University of Holy Cross in New Orleans. My Master's degree is in counseling with emphasis in marriage and family therapy. I am a veteran having served proudly in three branches of the Armed Forces. I am a strong advocate of discipline, structure, and accountability. I come from a traditional conservative background as it relates to family of origin; interestingly today I live in a progressive blended family with emphasis on the word “progressive”. Understanding the mindset and culture of the world that I came from versus the mindset and culture of the world in which I live today has greatly improved by therapeutic skills by allowing me to be more open-minded and more flexible in my approach to providing services. The motto of my therapeutic platform is: "We treat the entire person.... not just their diagnosis!" Although I am the one providing the therapy, in my design and platform you will always hear me use the word "WE." As a therapist I see myself as a compliment as well as a continuance of all the great therapeutic minds that came before me that are now a part of me; I also carry the visions of the many therapeutic minds and therapeutic modules that have yet to be manifested in our world today! I am a team player when it comes to recognizing, representing, and complementing all those who share in the practice of treating the mind. As a therapist and as a person, my greatest gift that I bring to people is my ability to listen, to acknowledge what is being said, to skillfully dissect what is not being said ( for what is not being said is usually speaking the loudest)! By way of process, I am acquainted with and rely on many of the therapeutic modules that are available to assist me as a therapist. Some of the therapeutic modalities I use are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person centered therapy (PCT), rational emotive therapy (RET), and my favorite module which I also find to be the most effective which is integrative and eclectic psychotherapy (IEP). The IEP therapeutic module combines and integrates all the fore-listed models and other therapeutic models available today. Over the years I have learned that everyone is basically good by design. The challenge to exposing the good is one’s ability to be able to break through all the negative barriers, all the negative stressors, thus resulting in exposing the good in the individual. I further believe that both positives and negatives are necessary components in the process of growth. To grow higher one has to embrace the positive and learn to overcome the negative by seeing the good or what good can come out of a negative situation. I am qualified to work with all people regardless of age, gender, race, lifestyle, religious background, cultural differences, political persuasions etc. I have seen a lot, and I have been through a lot. I have experienced everything from glory to grief and I am presently back to glory! Let me share my glory with you by way of a therapeutic experience. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I see counseling as a process in which you and I having come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life, and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals. I approach counseling from a cognitive behavioral perspective in that patterns of thoughts and actions are explored in order to better understand the clients' problems and to develop solutions. I work with clients in a variety of formats, including individually, as couples and as families. I also conduct group therapy. I have counseled clients of varying ages and in both school and clinical settings working together toward a desired positive outcome. I have worked to improve the lives of people since 2002, first as a teacher, later as a counselor. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana and Texas. I graduated in 1979 from Louisiana State University in Shreveport, Louisiana. After twenty-four years in the corporate world , I received my alternative teacher certification from Grambling State University. I earned a master’s in counseling from Louisiana Tech University in 2012, and a Master of Education in 2016. I also have an Educational Leadership Certification, a Louisiana and Texas Licensed Professional Counselor’s certification, and a National Certified Counselor certification.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the New Roads area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed New Roads therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in New Roads due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in New Roads may not take health insurance, some in the state of Louisiana may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Louisiana you can expect significantly more affordable options, with therapists sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in New Roads?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a New Roads therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors and therapists are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of New Roads therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A New Roads therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in LA, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles or therapists above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours. If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 70760 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site where you can schedule a session based on your and the therapist's schedule. No matter if you are seeking help from therapists in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a New Roads counselor?

Before seeing your New Roads therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. New Roads therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A New Roads licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a New Roads counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in New Roads, Louisiana can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

New Roads has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
