ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Mandeville, LA

I have a Masters degree in Professional Counseling and am credential by The National Board of Certified Counselors. My professional background is in trauma recovery and forensic psychology, meaning I have approached trauma on from both ends of the spectrum. There is little I haven't seen or heard clinically. This allows me to remain open minded, and has given me the knowledge and experience to provide a safe, supportive space for exploration.

I know reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, so I work hard to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. Clients describe me as warm, approachable, and easy to talk to, and my hope is that you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are.

I'm Anissa, a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in the evaluation and treatment of ADHD and other co-existing conditions.

When you work with me you get care that is calm, attentive, and centered on you.

Who I Work With:

I support individuals who are struggling with poor performance at work/school, anxious thoughts, panic attacks, depressed mood, occupational burnout, and other related conditions.

You're in the right place if:

✓ You're constantly overwhelmed or stressed about upcoming events or tasks needing to be completed

✓ You've been working harder to keep up but you feel like you're failing and burning out

✓ You suspect you have ADHD and need an evaluation, or you've been told you don't have ADHD and would like a second opinion

✓ You need help getting school or workplace accommodations or a leave of absence due to mental stress

✓ Past providers rushed you or didn't listen to your concerns

My path to psychiatric care is a little different from most. I spent over a decade as an Obstetrics Nurse before transitioning into psychiatric mental health — and that background deeply shapes how I show up for my clients. I understand the weight of life transitions, the complexity of the mind-body connection, and the importance of feeling truly supported. Now, as a PMHNP, I bring that same compassionate, whole-person perspective to mental health care.

When life gets hard, it may be easy to feel like an empty shell of yourself, often waiting for hope amid the weight of anxiety, depression, stress, & trauma making it an even heavier burden to manage the demands of daily life. Guided by the principles of community, commitment, and autonomy, my mission is to equip individuals with the tools needed to navigate their distinct life journeys, overcome challenges, and pursue their aspirations. I am dedicated to establishing a secure, nonjudgmental, & accepting environment where you are encouraged to embark on a journey of authentic self-discovery, skill enhancement, and individual growth.
