After spending a decade working with youth, I realized the best part of my work were the meaningful, life-changing conversations. Thus, I went back to school for a Masters in Counseling from LSU. Now, I spend most of my days helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, and OCD to rebuild a better life.
Greetings,
My name is Bridget Suire. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years experience in behavioral health. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for all clients, including the LGBTQ+ community. Together we will explore the choices that clients can make to live their best life. The client is the driver, and I am the navigator. We will work together to improve your mental wellness and address anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.
When I think of myself as a Counselor, I envision providing unconditional positive regard and "Good Old Fashion" Southern Louisiana Hospitality to clients. Based on the client's individualized needs, I practice the eclectic approach to guide them through the healing process.
I am Tamiko Brown, a Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in Anxiety, Depression, and Spiritual Counseling. As a native of Bunkie, LA, I mostly enjoy serving others. I received a BS in Psychology with a minor in Chemistry and Biology and a Masters of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Xavier University of Louisiana.
Ralph Waldo Emmerson quoted, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." It would be my honor to serve you on your quest to discover that within you and help guide you on your journey through the healing process.

I take a warm, nonjudgmental approach to therapy where you can feel safe, seen, and accepted as you are. I bring a calm presence, gentle humor, and deep care for people into the room. My faith is important to me and shapes the way I love and honor others, while always respecting your beliefs and values. I am trained in trauma work and draw from CBT, person centered therapy, mindfulness, and I am actively learning EMDR to better support healing.
I am Jamila Warner, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality care that honors your unique journey. My approach is focused on creating harmony and order in the face of life's everyday challenges. I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients suffering from various mental illnesses including, but not limited to ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and psychotic disorders.
I graduated with a BS degree in Psychology at Louisiana State University. I have a Master's Degree from Southern University in Mental Health Counseling. I have over 27 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.
I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.
Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.
I'm Dawn, a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and life's significant transitions. Whether you're grieving the death of someone you love, caring for a family member, facing a serious medical diagnosis, or navigating another profound life change, counseling offers a compassionate place to slow down, tell your story, and make room for whatever you're carrying.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Baton Rouge, LA
Searching for therapists in Baton Rouge starts with finding someone whose training matches the care you want. Therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and population experience that fit your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand their style, areas of focus, and what sessions may look like before you book.
Baton Rouge has a range of therapy options across neighborhoods like Mid City, Gardere, Beauregard, and nearby areas. You may prefer in-person therapy in Baton Rouge if a local office fits your routine, or virtual sessions if your schedule, commute, or access to transportation makes that format easier. To narrow your search, review appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading bios can also help you compare communication style and decide which Baton Rouge therapist may be a strong fit.
Therapy in Baton Rouge can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show an estimated session cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Baton Rouge, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
