Louise Handley

Louise Handley

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


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.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Shreveport

Searching for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Shreveport starts with finding identity-affirming care. A therapist’s training, language, and listed experience can matter as much as their clinical specialty. You may want support related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for signals like affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or direct experience working with LGBTQIA+ people.

In a smaller market like Shreveport, the number of local LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may be more limited than in larger cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you choose care that fits your schedule and preferences. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their approach, communication style, and experience with LGBTQIA+ communities before you book.

Therapy in Shreveport can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and schedule directly when you’re ready.
