I have over years of counseling experience, specializing in grief, bereavement, trauma, and PTSD. My journey in this field has given me a deep understanding of the complexities involved in processing loss and trauma. I am passionate about providing compassionate support to individuals navigating their unique experiences, and I approach each client with empathy and respect.
I believe in creating a safe space where you can share your thoughts and feelings openly. My goal is to empower you to explore your emotions, gain insights, and develop coping strategies tailored to your needs. Together, we can work through the challenges you face and support your healing journey.
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.

Hello and congratulations for taking the first and sometimes hardest step of looking for a therapist. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of IN, KY LA, MO, NV, TX, WA and WV. I have the great privilege of working with adolescents and adults seeking assistance in improving their overall mental health and associated challenges. I’ve been in the behavioral health arena for over 40 years and have held numerous direct care and clinical leadership roles in a variety of settings. My joy comes from helping people navigate life's challenges.
I am a dedicated and compassionate counselor with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Concordia University Wisconsin. I have experience working in substance abuse treatment, as well as providing individual and group therapy in both mental health clinic settings and public schools.
My clinical background includes supporting clients in diverse environments, where I have provided mental health services to individuals, adolescents, and groups. I am experienced in addressing substance use challenges alongside a range of mental health concerns.
My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.
Therapy saved my life. That experience birthed my passion to help others who find themselves struggling with life's challenges. Social anxiety, depression, work issues, grief, relationships- can really throw us for a loop sometimes. I specialize in helping adults with depression, anxiety, and life changes. I am trained in EMDR for the treatment of trauma-related symptoms.
Greetings,
My name is Bridget Suire. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years experience in behavioral health. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for all clients, including the LGBTQ+ community. Together we will explore the choices that clients can make to live their best life. The client is the driver, and I am the navigator. We will work together to improve your mental wellness and address anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.
If you're reading this, there is a chance that you need an outlet, a safe space, as you're carrying more than you allow others to see. Is it worsening depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or stress? Maybe life itself has become exhausting, relationships feel harder than they should, or you're navigating seasons of change that has left you lost, disconnected, or uncertain. Whatever it is, I offer a safe space with warmth and compassion with the ease of not having to figure it out alone.
You deserve a chance to heal, persevere, and overcome obstacles that hinder you from your best self. One of bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story, truth, no matter how it looks. I look forward to being apart of your journey.

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.
