Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.9 mi away • Metairie, LA


When I started undergrad at LSU, I always knew I wanted to pursue a private practice in therapy. I completed my MSW at LSU to later achieve my license in clinical social work. I was fortunate to serve in many different settings (healthcare, schools, families, etc.) where I found a common concern in all of them- the need for therapy.

Now that I am in this position working with individuals in therapy, I don't take for granted the unique opportunity I have with each client I get to work with.

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 New Orleans

Searching for therapists in New Orleans starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life changes. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to work on. It can also help to review their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.

New Orleans has therapists across neighborhoods such as the French Quarter, Marigny, Bywater, Uptown, and Mid-City, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. If office location matters, consider commute time, parking, and how the appointment fits into your week. If schedule flexibility matters more, virtual therapy may give you more options. As you compare New Orleans therapists, review availability, whether they are accepting new clients, and any free consultation options. A therapist’s bio can also show how they communicate, structure sessions, and describe their work.

Therapy in New Orleans can be a significant expense 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 find therapists, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs after you enter your insurance details, and lets you book directly when you find a match. Browse therapists in New Orleans, review profiles, and choose someone who fits your needs, schedule, and insurance plan.
