Rodney Louviere

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Louisiana


I've spent years meeting people where they are — literally going out into communities across Louisiana to provide psychiatric care. Now I'm channeling that same commitment into a private telehealth practice, where you can get the support you need from home. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, or PTSD, I offer a flexible, welcoming space for real, lasting progress. Evenings and weekends work for me — I built my schedule around people who can't step away from their day to get the help they deserve.

You may understand that your past affects you today, yet still find yourself repeating patterns you desperately want to change. Maybe anxiety, trauma, addiction, or difficult relationships have left you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. You might be working through recovery, navigating a major life transition, or trying to make sense of emotions you’ve struggled to put into words. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I’ll meet you where you are and help you find a path forward that feels right for you. Your story matters. Your healing matters. And your next chapter can look different from your last.
