Dr. Niesha Collor

Dr. Niesha Collor

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


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.

Dr. Deonka Winn

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.

I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.

Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.

I am a lifelong resident of South Louisiana. I received a BA in Anthropology from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches and Master’s in Social Work from LSU in 2010. I spent two years in England working in child protection before returning home. Though I consider my background in working with children and families, I currently enjoy helping clients of all ages facilitate the change that they desire to better their own lives. In 2016, I received my LCSW and began working in clinical practice.
