Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 2.3 mi away • Monroe, LA


With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I am deeply committed to helping individuals and families heal, grow, and reconnect with their strengths. My work is grounded in trauma-centered therapy, recognizing that many emotional and behavioral challenges are rooted in experiences that deserve compassion, understanding, and skilled support.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, and families, helping them navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and the impact of trauma. I believe therapy should be a safe space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to move forward with confidence.

Therapy can be a powerful place to recenter, build skills, and dive deeper. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience supporting clients in a variety of settings, including schools and outpatient hospital clinics. Over the last 7 years, I have focused my work on adolescents and young adults ages 14–25 who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, school challenges, identity development, and the pressure of figuring out who they are and where they are headed. My goal is to provide a supportive and neuro-affirming space where you can better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and build skills that help you feel more grounded and confident!

Core Values are one of the foundational components of the work I do. Exploring where core values come from, how thoughts interact with core values, and when adjustments to those core values are being considered can help us land in the current moment with a bit more clarity/compassion.

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 a Therapist in Monroe

Searching for therapists in Monroe starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare Monroe therapists, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and focus areas that align with your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their style, the concerns they commonly work with, and what sessions may be like.

In a smaller city like Monroe, the number of nearby in-person options may be more limited than in larger Louisiana markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Louisiana. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, clinical background, and scheduling fit in one place.

Therapy in Monroe can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who take insurance, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly when you are ready. You can browse therapists in Monroe, review bios, check insurance fit, and choose someone who matches your needs and schedule.

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