Therapy can be a powerful place to recenter, build skills, and dive deeper. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience supporting clients in a variety of settings, including schools and outpatient hospital clinics. Over the last 7 years, I have focused my work on adolescents and young adults ages 14–25 who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, school challenges, identity development, and the pressure of figuring out who they are and where they are headed. My goal is to provide a supportive and neuro-affirming space where you can better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and build skills that help you feel more grounded and confident!
Hello,
I am a proud LGTB member that is flexible with my approach to assist with a variety of mental health barriers.
Mental health care should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation.
I believe the best outcomes happen when patient's feel heard, respected, and are actively involved in their treatment. My approach involves a team approach and is honest and hands on. I take the time to understand the whole person —not just a diagnosis— so we can create a treatment plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle.
You are the expert on your life. I’m the expert on mental health. The best care happens when we combine both.
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.
Are you finding it hard to navigate everyday life? Are your relationships suffering? If you answered “yes” to these questions, please know you CAN live a different life. Relationship issues, trauma, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and many other problems are challenging, to say the least. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings, learn coping strategies, and improve your relationships. You do not have to go it alone when therapy is available.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Slidell
Searching for therapists in Slidell starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look at the specialties they list and how they describe their approach. Some may use cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or other methods. A therapist’s bio can help you understand what they focus on and what sessions may be like.
In a smaller city like Slidell, local in-person options may vary by specialty, schedule, and insurance. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Louisiana. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how their communication style comes across in their profile. These details can help you decide who may be a practical fit before you book.
Therapy in Slidell can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer in-person or virtual care. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated session costs before booking, read therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
