I help adolescents and adults who feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or depression—whether that comes from childhood abuse, military experiences, or the impact of a narcissistic parent, ex, or partner. I know how isolating that can be. In our work together, my priority is helping you feel truly seen, heard, and understood in a safe, confidential space where you can show up exactly as you are.
I work with adults and children who feel overwhelmed by painful experiences, difficult memories, or life circumstances that have left them feeling stuck. If you've been carrying grief, trauma, anger, or emotions that feel hard to manage on your own, you don't have to sort through it alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, better understand what you're going through, and begin moving toward healing with support, honesty, and hope.
Taking the step to seek support isn’t easy, and I want to honor the courage it takes to be here. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Life Coach, and retired Army veteran who believes caring for your mental health is essential to living a balanced, fulfilling life. I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves. I work with teens and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or major life transitions, and I strive to meet you with respect, compassion, and understanding.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationship stress, trauma, or feeling stuck, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences without judgment.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
After more than 20 years of working with children and families in the school system, I now provide virtual therapy to reach and support more people navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, stress management challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Many of my clients struggle with emotional regulation, feeling overwhelmed, attention and focus concerns, family conflict, academic stress, or feeling stuck in patterns that impact daily life. Family dynamics and personal relationships are often at the heart of these challenges. My approach is creative, engaging, and intentionally different from traditional talk therapy. I incorporate music, humor, interactive exercises, and experiential techniques to help reduce anxiety, build coping skills, and make it easier to process difficult emotions in a supportive, welcoming space.
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.
Welcome to my page! I enjoy working with people to help them live happier, more fulfilling lives. I’ve worked in a variety of settings with a diverse range of clients and welcome people from all walks of life. I promise to give my best to each individual, starting with a thorough assessment and creating a detailed treatment plan guided by their needs. My counseling mantra is 'Nobody cares what you know until they know that you care."
Reaching out for support can be a big step, and you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I believe therapy works best when we approach it as a collaboration. Your story is unique, and you are the expert in your own life.
I work with adolescents and adults who may be feeling overwhelmed by things like trauma, anxiety, stress, ADHD, or difficult life experiences. Together, we create a space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and begin exploring what healing and growth look like for you.
Clients often describe me as inquisitive, warm, and even a bit humorous, someone who helps them look at challenges from new perspectives while staying focused on solutions.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families through life’s challenges. I value authenticity and believe healing starts in a safe, trusting relationship. My goal is to offer a warm, down-to-earth space where you feel heard, understood, and encouraged to grow. If it’s important to you, I’m also glad to incorporate Christian faith into our work together.
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.
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.
Therapy isn't about fixing who you are. It's about understanding what's getting in your way. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, men's issues, or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together to identify patterns that are no longer serving you, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change that extends beyond our sessions.
With nearly a decade of experience working with adolescents and adults, I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and focused on helping you move forward. My goal isn't simply to help you feel better during our sessions, but to help you build the confidence, perspective, and practical tools you can use in everyday life. Whether you're navigating depression, trauma, relationship challenges, family conflict, grief, men's issues, or a major life transition, I'll help you better understand what's keeping you stuck while creating realistic strategies that support lasting growth.

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.
