Our therapists provide anxiety therapy in New Orleans, LA

I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and hold a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) with over 15 years of psychiatric nursing experience across inpatient, outpatient, and crisis management settings. My practice is rooted in providing compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic psychiatric care tailored to each individual's unique journey. I work with adults and teens navigating a wide range of mental health challenges.

My clinical style is grounded in collaboration, empathy, and communication. I believe healing happens when care addresses the whole person, not just symptoms. While my primary focus is medication management, I strongly advocate for comprehensive treatment. I partner with therapists and providers to ensure your care aligns seamlessly.

Taking the first step toward mental health support is a courageous decision, and you don't have to navigate it alone. You deserve a supportive provider who truly listens and meets you with empathy, clarity, and respect. I welcome you to reach out and schedule your initial consultation.

I’m Ne-Juan Shaul, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling from Xavier University of Louisiana. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while also exploring the ways culture, core beliefs, values, and motivation shape how we think, feel, and behave. I work with adults and teenagers experiencing anger, anxiety, depression, delusional disorder, and relationship conflicts.

I’m down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy should feel approachable and collaborative, so I strive to create a relaxed environment where you can be yourself while still doing meaningful work. I meet clients where they are, treat the whole person, and believe that people have the power and ability to make meaningful changes in their lives. At the same time, therapy is a partnership—you have to be willing to show up, come prepared to engage, and take an active role in the process. I won’t do the work for you, but I’ll be there to provide the tools, support, and encouragement along the way.

Deciding to start counseling can be one of the most challenging steps you take. Inviting a stranger into your personal life isn’t easy, and I can’t promise that therapy will always be comfortable or that you’ll get exactly where you initially imagined. What I can promise is that if you come willing to be honest, engaged, and ready to work, we’ll work together to help you move toward a place that feels healthier and more manageable than where you started.

Hi, I'm an LPC and NCC with a Master of Science in Counseling from Southeastern Louisiana University and three years of experience. I've had the privilege of working with elementary, middle, and high school students, as well as adults of all ages, supporting them through anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. Whether you're navigating school, career, family responsibilities, or personal growth, I believe each person's experiences and goals are unique. I work to create a supportive environment where clients can feel seen, heard, and empowered to make positive changes.

My approach is collaborative, goal-oriented, and supportive. I specialize in working with middle to late adolescents and adults, integrating CBT, SFBT, and Reality Therapy to help clients recognize patterns and build on strengths. I believe therapy is a partnership, and clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental, culturally responsive space focused on growth.

I understand that beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and I strive to make the process welcoming and comfortable. My goal is to help clients feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life's challenges and work toward the changes they want. If you are ready to begin your journey toward growth, I would be honored to support you along the way.

My name is Lonnie Renteria, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 9 years of experience. I provide a safe, judgment-free, supportive space for individuals, couples, and families. I take an experiential approach, helping clients discover truths about their needs, expectations, and hopes. I also specialize in working around trauma and attachment injuries.

I received my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University. I am well-versed in emotion-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), narrative therapy, & trauma work. I am continuing to enhance my training in internal family systems models, to be a more patient and empathetic therapist. 

I have a genuine interest in your process, and I encourage you to be the best you can be. I believe we all have the capacity to heal and build the life that we want to live. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership and a forum for gaining a better understanding of ourselves, not a place to "get rid of" or "fix" something. Get started today!
