Grief counselors and therapists in Shreveport, LA

Welcome! I’m Dr. Niesha W. Collor, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who believes that therapy should be a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing and begin creating meaningful change.

With a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision and experience working with individuals navigating mental health concerns, trauma, addiction, recovery, life transitions, and emotional challenges, I approach counseling with compassion, understanding, and respect for each person’s unique story.

I believe you are more than the challenges you are facing. Your past may have influenced you, but it does not have to determine your future. My role is not to tell you how to live your life, but to walk alongside you as you gain insight, develop healthier coping skills, strengthen your relationships, and work toward the life you want.

My counseling approach incorporates evidence-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and other approaches tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and recovery, self-esteem, relationships, or simply feeling stuck, you do not have to navigate it alone.

Therapy is your space. Your story matters. Your healing matters. And your next chapter can look different from your last.

I look forward to creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust, collaboration, authenticity, and respect as we work together toward your goals.

I have a private practice i began in 2008. I see adults, adolescents, couples and individuals with all types of diagnosis.

I’m a client-centered therapist with more than 14 years of experience working as a mental health provider, addictions counselor, and group therapy facilitator. I work with adults and older teens who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, substance use, recovery, or major life transitions.

I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel uncomfortable or overwhelming, especially when life already feels heavy. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. I believe therapy works best when there is a genuine connection, and I strive to build that connection through honesty, compassion, and trust.

I’m passionate about helping people better understand themselves, develop healthier coping skills, and move toward lasting emotional wellness. Whether you are facing a difficult season, feeling stuck, or simply looking for support and guidance, I’m committed to helping you navigate those challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

I am here to help. I have a passion for encouraging people to live their best lives and aim to create a safe, down-to-earth therapeutic space tailored to your unique needs - whether that includes deepening self-understanding, developing practical tools, gaining clarity in one or more areas of your life, or simply having a genuinely supportive place to talk, process, and reflect. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply while developing practical strategies to navigate life's challenges.

Therapy is personal, and I believe it should feel that way. With nearly nine years of experience, I've learned that meaningful change happens when clients feel comfortable enough to let their guard down and simply be themselves. My sessions are conversational, genuine, and often include humor when it's helpful, so clients frequently leave feeling like they've had a real conversation instead of a formal counseling session while also gaining practical, evidence-based strategies they can apply in everyday life. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with other evidence-based approaches, to help clients create lasting change.
