Our therapists provide anxiety therapy in New Orleans, LA

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.

I enjoy working with clients who are feeling stressed, anxious, stuck, or unmotivated and are ready for things to change. Whether you’re navigating life changes, taking on new challenges, or seeking more balance, I'm ready to work with you as you explore and grow. I provide a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and encouraged. Together, we can focus on building healthier coping skills, improving your relationships, and creating a blueprint to help you move forward with more confidence and clarity.

My approach is collaborative and person-centered, meaning that you set the agenda and guide the process at a pace you’re comfortable with. I'll help you to clarify your goals, reflect on what’s most important to you, and highlight areas for growth. Together, we’ll create a clear path forward and help you stay accountable to yourself.

In our work together, I hope to create a space where you can express yourself without judgement. I'll help you to set meaningful personal goals and develop practical steps to reach them. My hope is that you leave each session feeling supported, understood, and ready to work on making the changes that you want to see for yourself.

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.

Hi, I’m Melissa. I’m passionate about helping people work through and heal from trauma, grief, and loss in all its forms. My approach is shaped by both professional education and lived compassion. I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of New Orleans and my Master of Social Work from Southern University at New Orleans. Through my education and experience, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of loss. My goal is to provide compassionate support rooted in presence, respect, and care, helping each person navigate their healing journey at their own pace.

I use a humanistic, eclectic approach to create personalized, supportive therapy, tailored to your needs. I will take time to understand your story, honor your strengths, and meet you where you are as you work toward healing, self-awareness, and personal growth.

You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and encouraged as you take steps toward healing. When you feel ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and begin the process of caring for yourself. 

Navjot "Nikki" Redpath is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Louisiana. She has over 15 years of experience counseling children and adults dealing with depression, anxiety, personal issues, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, behavioral challenges, self-esteem concerns, and grief and loss. Nikki completed her Bachelor’s in Psychology and her Master’s in Education with a focus in Human Services Counseling, both at the University of New Orleans.

In her counseling practice, Nikki utilizes cognitive-behavioral, Rogerian, solution-focused, and strengths-based approaches to help clients reach their goals.

Nikki strives to create an environment where clients feel safe, respected, and supported through unconditional positive regard. This therapeutic space allows clients to openly express themselves while trusting that their privacy and dignity will be upheld.

After many years in social work, I've come to believe that the most effective therapy doesn't come from a one-size-fits-all approach, but from meeting you exactly where you are. I believe in deeply individualized care, partnering with you to identify your goals and help you make rapid, meaningful progress. With a unique perspective shaped by my own journey through challenges and trauma, I offer an open-minded, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly understood and empowered to heal. 

My approach is client-centered and eclectic—I tailor my methods to your unique needs rather than one fixed style. I draw on CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy and specialize in trauma-informed care and grief counseling. Whether processing trauma, facing a crisis, or adjusting to change, I'm here to create a space where you feel heard and empowered.

I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to act as a supportive guide on your journey toward healing. You've already shown immense strength by looking for support. Let's work together to build on that strength - I invite you to book your first appointment today and to begin the next chapter.
