Therapist

Hello, thanks for stopping by. I’m here to offer a calm, compassionate space where you can finally start to feel understood. I know life can be complicated, especially when you're navigating Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, or Autism. My goal is to help you (or your child, age 5+) manage these challenges and discover a path toward feeling more at ease and confident.

What Makes Working With Me Different? My journey to becoming a counselor didn't start in an office; it started the day I was born. Growing up as one of eleven children, I was fortunate to have many siblings with special needs—including siblings with Autism, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and Learning Disabilities. This taught me something invaluable: true, deep patience, kindness, and compassion.

For over 20 years, I honed this understanding as both a High School Counselor and Special Education teacher.

Since I offer teletherapy only, you can start your journey to feeling better from the comfort of your own home. Our first session together is simple: it’s all about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you here, your goals, and what a "good day" looks like for you. It’s a low-pressure conversation where you can feel safe and heard.

Ready to Connect?

I truly care about helping you feel your best, and I’ve got the patience and experience to see you through it. If you’re ready to start finding that inner calm, I encourage you to reach out.

Therapist

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe that mental health support should feel conversational and welcoming. Taking the first step toward seeking help can be uncomfortable, and I strive to create an environment where adolescents and young adults feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their time with me.

With experience in inpatient care working with adolescents, as well as serving as a school social worker, I have supported young people through a variety of emotional and life challenges. My focus is on helping adolescents and young adults navigate grief and loss, anxiety, depression, family conflict, and adjustment-related issues.

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


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.

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 Mental Health Therapist in Shreveport, LA

Searching for therapists in Shreveport starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Shreveport therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match your needs. Provider bios can also help you understand how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and works with people seeking similar care.

In a mid-size city like Shreveport, your options may include therapists with offices near areas like South Highlands, Highland, Broadmoor, and downtown, along with therapists who offer virtual appointments across Louisiana. In-person care may work well if location and commute are important. Virtual therapy may fit better if you need more scheduling flexibility. Before booking, compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation so you can assess fit.

Therapy in Shreveport can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more accessible. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

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