Rodney Louviere

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.

Hi, I'm Candance a licensed clinical social worker and I believe that everyone has a story, and everyone has a journey. Each story is unique and each journey is individualized. Helping others build on their strengths, overcome and reach their full potential is not just my career but a calling and a gift. Creating a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space is essential to the healing process. I reserve that space for you. When I am not helping others, I enjoy watching sports, traveling, and spending time with family.
