Therapists in New Orleans, LA

I found mine through [psychologytoday.com](https://psychologytoday.com) you can search by zip code and what issues you're working on. I saw two different therapists before finding one that felt right. Best of luck

Trying open path collective!!

Jennifer Engel 5048139130. Very open minded. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/jennifer-engel-new-orleans-la/90117

Integrated Behavior Health on Poydras. They have therapists and psychiatrists. Also, they accept most insurance.

What kind of alternative lifestyle we talking about here, homie? Y'know, just so I could recommend the best therapist.

My sympathies. I'm currently looking for a psychiatrist for some similar reasons. I'm too much of a coward to ask for referrals IRL (even though half my co-workers are unabashedly on happy pills), so I'm probably just going to be pick one at random and see how it goes. I'll let you know if I stumble upon a good one.

Hey man, I feel your pain. If you need somebody to talk to or hang im around town in the quarter and marigny/bywater most of the time. Im no therapist but I got a good ear. We could have a drink or what have you or not. Its your call and I can give you my number if need be. Best of wishes.

Do you have insurance or are there any specific people you're considering? I have friends who've gone to Jennifer Engel on Prytania and really liked her.

There are a few psych firms and independent practitioners in the building I work in/manage. If you're looking for a larger firm, Pelts, Kirkhart, & Associates seems to be pretty good, they always have quite a few clients coming through and everyone I've met from their firm is really nice. If you're looking for just one psychologist on her own, there's a woman named Leslie O'Malley who practices in the same building.

Dr. Arnold James at Tulane is effin incredible. been doing psychology for over 20 years in new orleans. worked with him multiple times and was constantly impressed by him. he's a psychologist working out of the Dept. of Psychiatry at the school of medicine. to be honest, i only know that he does in-patient services but you could certainly call and find out. http://www.everydayhealth.com/doctors/dr-arnold_h_james_ms_phd-3962185

My wife and I recently lost our Son, he died at 6 hours old about 5 months ago. [Pictures of Zane](http://www.vicarisite.com). We had been trying to have a baby for several years and didn't know anything was wrong until about 2 weeks before he was born. My wife has also been very depressed and she went to several counselors before settling on one who she thinks helps her the most. I went to several of the sessions and nothing religious was ever mentioned. My wife says she never talks about religion, it's just where she works is called that. I hope you are able to get some help, I know that talking to someone can really do that. My wife is much better, but still really sad often, but sometimes you just can't help it. Sometimes it just takes time. EDIT: I PMed you the info.

I am a Licensed Master of Social Work and have experience working with clients with a similar background. Finding a good therapist is hard work, not to mention the wait once you do find one is about 3 months. Most people in need of help do not want to wait 3 months, so maybe side therapy would be beneficial until you can secure an appointment with a psychologist. Feel free to contact me if you are in need of help connecting with resources in your area or if you have any questions or concerns that I could possibly help you with in the mean time.

I only saw her a few times because of insurance stuff, but Lynn Koch is great. I can pm you her number. If you have crappy/no insurance, Tulane Mental Health Clinic is good. There residents, but they're supervised by psychiatrists and the one I see is wonderful. I can find that number for you too if you're interested. Recommendations are helpful, but it really depends on the individual and how you connect with them. Someone who is great for me might not be great for you. If you don't click right away, keep trying. Good luck.

Dr. John P. Vogel was my shrink a few years back (after a major medical incident that almost killed me) and I had a really good experience with him. I was 21 - 23 at the time.

I wouldn't say cowardly. You don't really have anything to gain by using your main reddit name and you obviously don't want the extra attention (I know my depression drives me into isolation a lot...as well as other stupid things).

"Christian-based counseling" ಠ\_ಠ

I see a lady in BR, her name is Stacey Kidder. She truly changed my life...

I know the search function on reddit isn't so great, so probably you just missed this [thread](http://www.reddit.com/r/NewOrleans/comments/17392 v/affordable_mental_health_services/) a few days ago. There is some good information accumulated there. If you're looking for something more specific, let me know.

Jennifer Engel (504) 813-9130 I went to a lot of diffrent therapist till I found her. I do not go to her anymore, but she really makes you feel more like a friend and less like a client.

Psychologytoday.com is a great resource for this. Allows you to put in your info, insurance, etc and flip through local providers. Good luck!

I’m starting DBT for BPD on Wednesday with Lee Hoffman. If you want I can update you with how it goes

Dena Moore - she's based out of Lafayette but works in New Orleans half the week

Allyson Bennet

Denise Matherne

Dr Sean Ransom changed my life! He’s mainly CBT based therapy. Good luck! http://cbtnola.com/psychotherapy/

Highly recommend finding someone certified in EMDR. Had my first session last week and it is truly life changing.

Yes! Jennifer Myhre Crescent care on tulane ave

Erin Miller (in the riverbend) is great. I have a couple friends who are happy with their trauma-informed therapists as well. I can ask after their names if you’d like.

Gregory Salerian is a really good therapist out of New Orleans, his office is off Tchoup. He's a younger, down to earth guy and is the first therapist I've talked to that I felt like I could talk to like a normal person. He likes to add some positive physical element to therapy (walking/running) and focuses on treating stress related issues and dependency issues.

Emily DeLeonardo at Ochsner is a nurse practitioner, but absolutely wonderful and more knowledgeable than any other psychiatrist I have worked with. She’s always responsive to calls and emails, usually within a matter of hours. It’s pretty easy to get appointments with her right now, as well.

check out (www.psychologytoday.com) there's a find a therapist /psychiatrist option on there where you can filter results based on insurance coverage, area of specialty and other preferences you may have.

I’ve heard good things about Dr Dansereau

I've had good experiences at Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on Magazine. It has a couple of bad Google reviews, but Dr. Tomassetti was supremely professional and helpful to me.

I do indeed! Integrated Behavior Health on Poydras has amazing doctors, both therapists and psychiatrists. Dr. Lawrence is an excellent psychiatrist there. Dr. McDermott is a great therapist, who specializes in trauma, but also does general therapy. I cannot recommend IBH strongly enough. If your insurance covers them, or if money is not an issue, go there. I also really like Jennie Walsh. She's a licensed clinical social worker, so I think she's good at addressing more everyday issues, like anxiety and depression. Very nice lady and she works with you and your insurer, if money is kind of an issue.

Check out JP Human Service Authority.

I work with an amazing trauma therapist. She has private practice in JP and contracts p/t with our drug court clients! She's wonderful! Here's her site... http://www.therapyneworleans.com/

Degan J. Dansereau, M.D. 15048970201 3705 Coliseum St, New Orleans 70115

In town but Sara Walker at Psychiatric Center behind JC Penney is fantastic ;)

Eddie Wyndham inLake Charles. Haven't used him personally, but know others who have and they have positive reports. will say a prayer for your granddaughter. It is challenging to stay positive when facing one setback after another. May Jesus strengthen and encourage her.
