I'm Dawn, a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and life's significant transitions. Whether you're grieving the death of someone you love, caring for a family member, facing a serious medical diagnosis, or navigating another profound life change, counseling offers a compassionate place to slow down, tell your story, and make room for whatever you're carrying.
Hi, I'm Kelly Render, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about supporting children, adolescents, women, and individuals with disabilities. I earned my Master of Social Work with a Graduate Certificate in Child and Youth Services (2016) and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology (2014) from Louisiana State University.
I specialize in helping clients navigate grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions through a compassionate, strengths-based approach.
With more than 25 years of experience in behavioral health, I specialize in working with professional women, caregivers, and healthcare professionals who are navigating burnout, life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and substance use recovery. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a background in substance use treatment, military social work, and medical social work with the Department of Veterans Affairs, I bring both clinical expertise and genuine lived experience to our work together.
I know firsthand how easy it is for women to lose themselves in the demands of work and family. As a retired VA social work supervisor, breast cancer survivor, and someone who has navigated burnout while caring for others, I bring deep empathy to every session — not just training. I provide virtual therapy, so you can access support from wherever feels most comfortable.
When I tell you I love what I do, I love what I do! I am not hear to manage symptoms, I'm here to heal. As a current doctoral student, I value continued education to maintain the highest form of evidence-based care for my clients. I walk the walk of healing and believe every therapist should do the same.
Greetings,
My name is Bridget Suire. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years experience in behavioral health. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for all clients, including the LGBTQ+ community. Together we will explore the choices that clients can make to live their best life. The client is the driver, and I am the navigator. We will work together to improve your mental wellness and address anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.

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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Louisiana
Searching for therapists in Louisiana starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Across urban and rural parts of the state, available therapists and specialties can vary, so it helps to look for someone whose training matches what you want to address. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, review their listed specialties, therapy style, and experience with approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Location and format also matter when choosing a Louisiana therapist. If you live in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, or a smaller community, your options may look different based on local availability. Some people prefer in-person sessions, while others choose virtual appointments for easier scheduling. You can also narrow your search by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their approach, what a first session may involve, and whether their communication style feels like a good fit.
The cost of therapy in Louisiana varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find Louisiana therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare available appointments in one place. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your coverage for your location and plan before your first session. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
