If you’re here, you might be feeling weighed down by stress, sadness, or worry that seems hard to shake. On the outside you show up, get things done, and care for the people around you...but inside, it can feel heavy and exhausting. I want you to know you don’t have to carry that alone.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with over 15 years of experience. My background includes helping adults work through anxiety, depression, and the lingering effects of past hurts. My approach is supportive and down-to-earth: we’ll move at your pace, focusing on practical tools and new ways of thinking that can help you find balance, clarity, and peace.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe place where you are truly heard and understood. Together, we’ll work to uncover what’s been holding you back, strengthen your confidence, and build the life you want to live.

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 an Anxiety Therapist in Lake Charles, LA

Searching for therapists in Lake Charles starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, life transitions, and trauma. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. Bios can show whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

In a smaller city like Lake Charles, the number of nearby in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Louisiana. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and what sessions may look like.

Therapy in Lake Charles can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences and offer in-person or virtual appointments, and you can check which insurance coverage is available for your plan before booking. You can review bios, compare availability, see estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
