I am a military veteran with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, with a specialized focus over the past decade on men’s mental health, including court-ordered assessments and mandated treatment services. My clinical approach is grounded primarily in evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which I utilize to support clients in developing emotional regulation, coping skills, and sustainable behavioral change. In my current role, I conduct comprehensive mental health screenings, coordinate and oversee integrated care services, and provide direct clinical support within a substance use inpatient treatment setting. Additionally, I dedicate part of my practice to serving a rural Tribal Native American community through a mental health clinic, where I provide culturally responsive and community-informed care.
I also strongly advocate for men navigating systems where they are often disproportionately penalized or misunderstood, working to ensure their mental health needs are appropriately recognized and addressed within legal, correctional, and treatment environments. My professional focus includes supporting fair, trauma-informed approaches that balance accountability with rehabilitation. I have specialized experience working with individuals diagnosed with psychotic disorders and mood disorders, providing psychoeducation to clients and their families—particularly during the early stages of diagnosis—and delivering life skills training to promote stability, independence, and long-term success in community living.
Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and grounded space from the beginning. I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. I also specialize in complex and developmental trauma.
I support clients in integrating their spiritual and cultural values into therapy when desired and clinically appropriate. I was born in New Orleans and bring a culturally informed perspective shaped by my Latina, Indigenous, Christian, and Sephardic Jewish backgrounds.
I became a therapist because I have a deep commitment to helping people recognize and build their own strengths, especially during periods of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I work to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.
I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) and PhD from Tulane University, as well as a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana and Texas, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota. I also hold a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), Licensed Prevention Professional (LPP), and Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP).
My day job is providing social work support in a hospital, and I have spent many years helping people navigate complex health and life challenges. Before the hospital, I worked in nursing homes, which gave me extensive experience supporting older adults and their families. I understand the realities of healthcare, substance use, and caregiving, and I strive to be a warm, nonjudgmental presence for everyone I meet. I hope you feel welcomed, heard, and treated with deep compassion.
Hello! I'm Sylvia Nnamdi-Enwerem, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over a decade of nursing experience caring for patients in medical, surgical, and mental health settings across three continents. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for how mental and physical health are connected.
I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, schizophrenia, personality disorders, insomnia, and substance use disorders.
I believe everyone deserves compassionate, respectful, and personalized care. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing your concerns and confident that we will work together to help you feel better.
I am empathetic, compassionate and listen actively to my patients.
Hello, and welcome. My name is Katelynn and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW/LCSW) dedicated to helping individuals, adolescents, and families navigate life's challenges and build meaningful, lasting change. I believe that every person has strengths and resilience, and my role is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where healing and growth can occur. I am passionate about empowering clients to recognize their strengths, overcome obstacles, and create lives that reflect their values and goals. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult time or working toward personal growth, I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey toward healing and wellness.
I provide a space rooted in safety, deep listening, and compassion. Healing is a sacred journey—a process of growing insight, clarity, and wisdom while reclaiming wholeness and transforming pain into purpose. Together, we can explore the paths that lead to a satisfying life filled with peace, joy, and mastery.
Maybe you've had enough of feeling bad and you're ready to do something about it. I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), and I've been a counselor since 1990. I started in rehabilitation counseling for people with brain injuries, saw how little mental health support they had, and went back to school to provide it. Since then, I've worked in schools, jails, methadone treatment, and employee assistance programs. Today, my practice focuses on individuals, teens, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, and substance use.
