Therapy and the journey to self-exploration can be hard. Together, we can navigate your path toward improved mental health and emotional well-being. My approach is solution-focused, centered on the immediate obstacles you are facing. While how you got here matters, what you choose to do next can have an even greater impact. As a clinical social worker with experience across private practice, hospital social work, parenting education, and community care, I bring a broad range of experience to support us in working through challenges together.

Angelika Guidry

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Metairie, LA


When I started undergrad at LSU, I always knew I wanted to pursue a private practice in therapy. I completed my MSW at LSU to later achieve my license in clinical social work. I was fortunate to serve in many different settings (healthcare, schools, families, etc.) where I found a common concern in all of them- the need for therapy.

Now that I am in this position working with individuals in therapy, I don't take for granted the unique opportunity I have with each client I get to work with.
