Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Mandeville, LA

My style is warm, validating, and compassionate, while also being honest and intentional. I believe therapy should feel supportive but also purposeful. As our therapeutic relationship grows, I offer direct feedback and thoughtful challenges to help you move out of patterns that no longer serve you. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, my goal is to help you build insight, resilience, and a stronger sense of control over your life. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, grief, trauma, and depression. I use evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and I am trained in EMDR. An evidence-based approach that helps clients process trauma and distressing experiences in a way that feels manageable and empowering.

As a licensed mental health professional, I believe that prioritizing our mental and emotional well-being is the foundation of a sustainable and healthy life. Over the past ten years in this field, one thing I’ve consistently learned is that simply having someone to talk to can be one of the most challenging parts of the therapeutic process.

I am here to offer safety, empathy, and practical strategies that support you in thriving the way you desire

Hi, my name is Giselle Strasburg, LCSW and I am a South Louisiana native who has been practicing Social Work for 17 years. I earned my undergraduate degree in Social Work from Southeastern Louisiana University and my Masters degree from Louisiana State University. I have worked for two mental health agencies, a cancer center, BetterHelp: telehealth company, and two school systems. I am passionate about helping people from all backgrounds and ages become the best versions of themselves in order to reach their highest potential.

Sometimes life feels overwhelming not because of one big moment, but because the stress, worry, and emotional weight have slowly built over time. Anxiety, depression, family conflict, trauma, or major life changes can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and the people you care about most. You don't have to navigate those challenges alone. I partner with individuals and families experiencing anxiety, depression, family issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, and trauma so they can strengthen relationships, build resilience, and create a greater sense of peace in their everyday lives. Working with children, adolescents, adults, and families, I strive to create a warm, supportive environment where every person feels safe, respected, and empowered to grow.
