Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationship stress, trauma, or feeling stuck, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences without judgment.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes that healing happens best in spaces that are safe, honest, and non-judgmental. I work with those who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the effects of trauma.
My approach is collaborative and practical. We will focus on understanding what’s showing up in your life, identifying patterns that may be holding you back, and developing tools you can use in real-world situations. I don’t believe in perfection—I believe in progress.
Clients often describe me as direct, supportive, and easy to talk to. I meet you where you are while also helping you move toward where you want to be. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something different, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Getting care for your mental health should feel like a step forward, not another obstacle. As a dual certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in Louisiana, I bring experience across both primary care and psychiatry so I can see the whole picture of your wellbeing. Whether you're working through anxiety, navigating mood challenges, or just figuring out where to start, I'll meet you where you are. My practice is fully telehealth, flexible, and designed around your schedule.
Hi, I'm Alyssa (Jade)! I grew up in a rural Louisiana town and care deeply about making mental health care easier to access. I work with adults across Louisiana via telehealth, experiencing a range of issues and those that may be feeling worn down by daily life or need some extra support. I help people navigating anxiety, ADHD, women’s issues, trauma, alcohol or substance use, depression, family issues, and stress.
After more than 20 years of working with children and families in the school system, I now provide virtual therapy to reach and support more people navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, stress management challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Many of my clients struggle with emotional regulation, feeling overwhelmed, attention and focus concerns, family conflict, academic stress, or feeling stuck in patterns that impact daily life. Family dynamics and personal relationships are often at the heart of these challenges. My approach is creative, engaging, and intentionally different from traditional talk therapy. I incorporate music, humor, interactive exercises, and experiential techniques to help reduce anxiety, build coping skills, and make it easier to process difficult emotions in a supportive, welcoming space.
I believe everyone needs help from time to time.
I specialize in evening and weekend appointments. Later appointments are available, please request your needs.
I am a friendly goal-oriented therapist who believes strongly in positive self-reinforcement. I have a Master's degree from La Tech University with a background in private practice for over 20 years. I am Licensed in Louisiana and Texas as a professional counselor. I am also Licensed as a marriage and family therapist in Louisiana.
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.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 12 years of mental health nursing experience. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Herzing University. My areas of focus include mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, substance use disorders, and behavioral concerns.
If you have been feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed by relationship or family conflict, or weighed down by grief, loss, or intimacy concerns, you do not have to carry it alone. For 35 years, I have helped people navigate these challenges, including military families facing active duty and retirement transitions. I also bring a strong sense of fairness that helps me connect with clients making sense of hurt and confusion.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have a MSW in social work and a BA in Psyhcology with a minor in African American studies. My educational background and career include extensive work with transitional age youth, teens, children and families and other disenfranchised populations.
With over thirteen years of experience in the field, I bring a depth of knowledge and a steady, grounded presence to every session. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S), a National Certified Counselor (NCC), and one of only eight Certified DBT Specialists (C-DBT) in the state of Louisiana. I received my DBT training at a VA hospital, where I had the privilege of working closely with veterans and developing a strong foundation in trauma-informed care.
Throughout my career, I have worked across all levels of care, from crisis settings to outpatient therapy, and that range has made me a confident, compassionate guide for clients navigating emotionally intense situations. I am also a Certified Trauma Specialist, and my work spans adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing challenges like trauma and PTSD, borderline personality disorder, mood disorders, addiction, self-harm, and eating disorders. I believe deeply that recovery is possible and that renewed hope is always within reach.
