I work well with young adults and adults, particularly women, navigating complex emotions and experiences. Together we'll explore how your thoughts, emotions, body, environment, relationships, and past shape how you feel and act today. Using evidence-based approaches, I help clients build insight and practical tools. We might shift unhelpful thought patterns, develop coping strategies, learn to regulate emotions, and explore your inner world to better understand your relationship to the outside world. I bring in mindfulness techniques to help you connect with yourself as you work through challenges, heal, and grow.

James Collier

Psychiatrist

Virtual • Louisiana


I’m a psychiatrist with more than 20 years of clinical experience, including work in outpatient mental health, inpatient psychiatry, and community-based care. I also completed fellowship training in child and adolescent psychiatry. After years in clinical practice, I now serve as a behavioral health medical director and am returning to patient care because I genuinely miss the connection and impact of working directly with patients. I bring a broad clinical perspective and a thoughtful, experienced approach to care.
