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.

I am a lifelong resident of South Louisiana. I received a BA in Anthropology from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches and Master’s in Social Work from LSU in 2010. I spent two years in England working in child protection before returning home. Though I consider my background in working with children and families, I currently enjoy helping clients of all ages facilitate the change that they desire to better their own lives. In 2016, I received my LCSW and began working in clinical practice.

DeAndra LeMalle

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


Hi there!

My name is De’Andra LeMalle, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) that takes on a creative and expressive approach to therapy. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. In addition to my clinical training, I am certified in Expressive Arts Therapy, Mandala Assessment Research Instrument (MARI), and Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT).

These modalities allow me to incorporate creative and body-centered techniques that help clients explore emotions, experiences, and patterns that may be difficult to express through words alone. My practice focuses on helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and identity exploration better understand themselves and process their experiences.

I work with clients who may feel stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps. Together, we develop meaningful strategies for healing, emotional regulation, and personal growth in a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Baton Rouge

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.
