Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Louisiana

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.

Hello! My name is Dylan Trahan. I've been an LPC for about 2.5 years now. I have primarily worked in partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and inpatient settings as well individual work within my professional career.

The populations that I serve are mainly adolescent to geriatrics. Treatment areas include but not limited to addiction, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and men's issues.

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.

You may have spent so much time surviving that you've forgotten what it feels like to truly feel at peace. Anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, anger, or painful life experiences can leave you emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, and wondering if things will ever get easier. You don't have to carry those burdens alone. I partner with individuals navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress management, and anger management so they can regain emotional balance, strengthen their relationships, and move forward with greater confidence and hope. Working with adolescents, adults, and seniors, I strive to create a compassionate, judgment free space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to create lasting change.

Starting therapy can be a big step, and you don’t have to do it alone. I believe everyone deserves a supportive space to be themselves and work through life’s challenges.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience helping adolescents, adults, and older adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, life transitions, family conflict, serious mental illness, and developmental and intellectual disabilities. I’ve supported people facing both everyday stress and more complex mental health concerns.

Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about gaining insight, building resilience, and creating meaningful change at a pace that feels right. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need extra support, I’m here to help.

Hello, my name is Joelle Charpentier, APRN, PMHNP-BC. I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner who believes everyone deserves to feel heard, supported, and understood. I work with children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, life transitions, and women’s mental health concerns. My goal is to provide a welcoming, judgment-free space where we can work together toward lasting wellness.

With over 30 years of experience partnering with clients from all walks of life, I have learned one fundamental truth: the power to heal, grow, and transform already lives within you. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a certified Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), my goal is to help you tap into that potential. I don't believe therapy is something done to you it is a collaborative journey we take together. If you are ready to actively participate in your own growth, I am here to provide the expertise, tools, and unwavering support to help you succeed.

I believe in empathy and taking a realistic but human approach to counseling. We all fight battles behind the scenes and are deserving of grace and humility.

I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist who works with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and exposure-based interventions, while also incorporating practical, real-world strategies that clients can apply outside of session.

I strive to create a space where clients feel both supported and challenged. I believe meaningful growth happens when clients are not only heard, but also guided toward understanding their patterns, building insight, and taking intentional steps toward change. I am intentional about helping clients stay engaged in the therapeutic process, using structured interventions and clear direction so sessions feel purposeful and effective.

My work often focuses on helping clients confront avoidance, process difficult experiences, and rebuild a sense of control and confidence in their lives. I value helping clients translate what they learn in therapy into action, whether that’s through exposure work , skill-building, or developing healthier ways of thinking and responding.

Above all, I aim to empower my clients to help them move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed to feeling capable, resilient, and aligned with the life they want to live.

I’m Velia R. Bradley, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor in Louisiana with over 10 years of experience supporting people through emotional and psychological challenges. I earned my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Louisiana at Monroe and am currently pursuing a doctorate focused on Counseling Education, Supervision, Trauma, and Crisis Interventions. My approach is holistic and client-centered, with care for the mind, body, soul, and spirit. I meet you where you are and work alongside you at your pace, with honesty, warmth, and respect.

I work with adults and children who feel overwhelmed by painful experiences, difficult memories, or life circumstances that have left them feeling stuck. If you've been carrying grief, trauma, anger, or emotions that feel hard to manage on your own, you don't have to sort through it alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, better understand what you're going through, and begin moving toward healing with support, honesty, and hope.

Life can feel overwhelming when challenges begin piling up faster than you can manage them. Whether you're struggling with substance use, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or the stress of trying to keep everything together, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain perspective, and move forward with greater confidence. I work with adolescents, adults, seniors, and couples who are feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to create lasting change. Many of my clients come to therapy after trying to solve everything on their own, only to find themselves repeating the same patterns. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. Together, we'll identify your strengths, clarify your goals, and build practical tools that help you create a healthier and more fulfilling life.
