I am a Faith Based (Catholic/Christian) License Professional Counselor. Certified in Trauma, Grief and Loss that loves working with Adolescents, Couples, Families and Individuals since 2004. I strongly believe that through our life our experiences may leave deep wounds that stop us from being loved by others and giving love to others. Through Therapy, one can begin to process these wounds, as a heart surgeon unclogs the arteries of the heart, and begin to feel like the loving individual that God created us to be and wants us to be

Creo firmemente que a través de nuestra vida nuestras experiencias pueden dejar heridas profundas que nos impediran ser amados por otros y dar amor a los demás
Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and grounded space from the beginning. I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. I also specialize in complex and developmental trauma.
I support clients in integrating their spiritual and cultural values into therapy when desired and clinically appropriate. I was born in New Orleans and bring a culturally informed perspective shaped by my Latina, Indigenous, Christian, and Sephardic Jewish backgrounds.
I became a therapist because I have a deep commitment to helping people recognize and build their own strengths, especially during periods of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I work to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.
I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) and PhD from Tulane University, as well as a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana and Texas, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota. I also hold a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), Licensed Prevention Professional (LPP), and Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP).

Hello! I’m Ryan Forbes, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience in the mental health field.

If you are struggling to be the best person you can be for your spouse or your family I would love to help.
Beyond my professional qualifications, I bring real-world experience to my work. I’ve been happily married for 26 years and am the proud parent of four wonderful children, which has enriched my understanding of the complexities of family dynamics and personal growth.
I’m Shawn, a licensed social worker dedicated to supporting individuals through challenges that impact their well‐being and overall success. I hold a BS in Sociology from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, an MSW from Louisiana State University, and I am currently completing my PhD in Social Work at Alabama A&M University. My areas of specialization include trauma‐informed intervention, crisis response, behavioral and emotional support, family engagement, and advocacy for youth involved in alternative education or juvenile justice systems.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Shreveport
Searching for addiction therapists in Shreveport starts with finding care that matches the specific support you want. Addiction care can include support for substance use, alcohol use, behavioral concerns, relapse prevention, and related concerns like anxiety, trauma, or relationship stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with a prescriber when that is part of your care team.
In a mid-sized city like Shreveport, your options may include local offices, virtual appointments, or a mix of both. Virtual care can expand access if local appointment times are limited or if you prefer to meet from a familiar setting. When narrowing your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers scheduling that fits your routine, and has experience with non-judgmental, harm reduction-informed care. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their approach and whether their style fits what you are looking for.
Addiction counseling in Shreveport can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare therapists who match your needs, confirm your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse Shreveport therapists, review bios, and book directly when you are ready.
