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.

Hi there!
My name is De’Andra LeMalle, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) that takes on a creative and expressive approach to therapy. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. In addition to my clinical training, I am certified in Expressive Arts Therapy, Mandala Assessment Research Instrument (MARI), and Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT).
These modalities allow me to incorporate creative and body-centered techniques that help clients explore emotions, experiences, and patterns that may be difficult to express through words alone. My practice focuses on helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and identity exploration better understand themselves and process their experiences.
I work with clients who may feel stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps. Together, we develop meaningful strategies for healing, emotional regulation, and personal growth in a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment.

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.

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.

I’m a therapist who supports individuals and couples through pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood. As a mom myself, I understand that this season can bring incredible joy, but also stress, anxiety, overwhelm, relationship changes, and emotions that can be difficult to talk about.
I work with women, men, and couples to better understand what they’re experiencing, strengthen communication, and navigate this life transition together. Whether you’re struggling personally, trying to support your partner, or feeling disconnected as a couple, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
My goal is to provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood

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.
