Angelika Guidry

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.

Therapist

You might be feeling exhausted from holding everything together, anxious about the future, or stuck in patterns that no longer fit who you are. I work primarily with women and couples navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and trauma that can be hard to put into words. Many of my clients are new to therapy or haven’t always felt culturally safe or understood in past spaces. With me, you don’t have to shrink yourself or explain your whole identity just to be believed. Together, we’ll work toward you feeling more grounded, more confident, and more like yourself again.
