Starting therapy can be a big step, and you don’t have to do it alone. I believe everyone deserves a supportive space to be themselves and work through life’s challenges.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience helping adolescents, adults, and older adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, life transitions, family conflict, serious mental illness, and developmental and intellectual disabilities. I’ve supported people facing both everyday stress and more complex mental health concerns.
Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about gaining insight, building resilience, and creating meaningful change at a pace that feels right. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need extra support, I’m here to help.
Hi, I'm Alyssa (Jade)! I grew up in a rural Louisiana town and care deeply about making mental health care easier to access. I work with adults across Louisiana via telehealth, experiencing a range of issues and those that may be feeling worn down by daily life or need some extra support. I help people navigating anxiety, ADHD, women’s issues, trauma, alcohol or substance use, depression, family issues, and stress.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have a MSW in social work and a BA in Psyhcology with a minor in African American studies. My educational background and career include extensive work with transitional age youth, teens, children and families and other disenfranchised populations.
Welcome! I’m Dr. Niesha W. Collor, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who believes that therapy should be a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing and begin creating meaningful change.
With a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision and experience working with individuals navigating mental health concerns, trauma, addiction, recovery, life transitions, and emotional challenges, I approach counseling with compassion, understanding, and respect for each person’s unique story.
I believe you are more than the challenges you are facing. Your past may have influenced you, but it does not have to determine your future. My role is not to tell you how to live your life, but to walk alongside you as you gain insight, develop healthier coping skills, strengthen your relationships, and work toward the life you want.
My counseling approach incorporates evidence-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and other approaches tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and recovery, self-esteem, relationships, or simply feeling stuck, you do not have to navigate it alone.
Therapy is your space. Your story matters. Your healing matters. And your next chapter can look different from your last.
I look forward to creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust, collaboration, authenticity, and respect as we work together toward your goals.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience in Mental Health nursing. I believe mental health care should feel personal, supportive, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself. I bring extensive nursing and mental health experience to my practice and work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, sleep difficulties, and other mental health challenges. I believe you are more than a diagnosis, and I take the time to understand the whole person behind the symptoms. Together, we’ll develop a treatment plan that feels realistic, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs.
With over thirteen years of experience in the field, I bring a depth of knowledge and a steady, grounded presence to every session. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S), a National Certified Counselor (NCC), and one of only eight Certified DBT Specialists (C-DBT) in the state of Louisiana. I received my DBT training at a VA hospital, where I had the privilege of working closely with veterans and developing a strong foundation in trauma-informed care.
Throughout my career, I have worked across all levels of care, from crisis settings to outpatient therapy, and that range has made me a confident, compassionate guide for clients navigating emotionally intense situations. I am also a Certified Trauma Specialist, and my work spans adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing challenges like trauma and PTSD, borderline personality disorder, mood disorders, addiction, self-harm, and eating disorders. I believe deeply that recovery is possible and that renewed hope is always within reach.
I’m Dee S. Freeman, LPC, LAC, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor with over a decade of experience helping individuals and families heal, grow, and rebuild their lives. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern University and a Master Certification in Adult Education and Training.
My background includes directing clinical programs, supervising counselors, and providing therapy for clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and family conflict. I specialize in working with women, parents, and families—particularly those navigating pregnancy, postpartum challenges, or involvement with court and social service systems.
At HALO Therapeutic Group, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can be heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.
