Services
Explore affirming mental health services for neurodivergent & LGBTQ+ communities and providers seeking consultation or further education in these areas of practice.
Individual Therapy
Our therapists provide individual therapy for adults navigating a wide range of experiences and concerns. As a practice, we commonly support clients with Autism, ADHD, neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+ identity exploration, anxiety, depression, complex trauma (CPTSD), borderline personality disorder (BPD), substance use concerns, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, grief and loss, and caregiver stress.
Our team draws from a variety of evidence-based and affirming approaches, including somatic therapy, mindfulness-based and values-based therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care. Therapy is tailored to each individual and may focus on developing emotional regulation skills, strengthening communication and boundaries, processing trauma, and building greater self-understanding. Sessions are available via Telehealth across Louisiana as well as in-person in Baton Rouge. Our goal is to provide a supportive space where clients can gain practical tools, deepen self-awareness, and move toward meaningful and sustainable change.
