Geriatric and Seniors Therapists in New Orleans, LA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience in addiction, sexual, spiritual and gender identity, self-esteem, trauma and HIV. I have treated a variety of presenting conditions ranging from depression and anxiety to mood disorders, sleep issues, relationship problems and life stress. I have experience working with clients across the lifespan with a particular interest in adults and the elderly. I believe in a holistic approach to counseling and view it as a process by which any of us could have the opportunity to focus on all the various aspects of our lives, ourselves, and who we want to become.

These last few years have presented many challenges for everyone. Depression, anxiety, addiction, grief and other issues are on a rise. It is not always easy to make the decision to reach out for therapy. However, therapy can help and support a person through what they are experiencing. Change is not easy; it takes courage to change and you do not have to face it alone. I have worked in acute care for many years with adults, elderly, children and adolescents. I feel confident to work with many mental health issues.

I enjoy working with a wide range of clients who have unique needs and diverse backgrounds. My clients often struggle with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and substance abuse. I am especially familiar with opioid abuse and the use of medication-assisted treatment (MAT). I also have experience working with the elderly and their family. My work includes educating their families and caregivers about dementia and how to use various interventions to ease the pain of this disease. I remind their caregivers how to take care of themselves as well.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, and a licensed addiction counselor with over 20 years experience. Life can present many challenges, and how we handle these adversities is the key to who we become and our success. Seeking professional help is the first step to change. Through the years, I have worked with both male and female clients ranging in age from 16 to 85. I have extensive training in substance abuse and co-dependency and over the last ten years enjoyed working with the elderly and their families addressing end of life issues along with dementia.

What would your life look like if you could snap your fingers and everything could change? What if your relationships with loved ones had less conflict? What if your stress levels were more manageable? Whether this is your first time in counseling or you’re searching for a new therapist that’s a “good fit,” I can help in tackling those questions. Here’s a quick snapshot of what our experience will look like together: I use an existential lens in therapy, which means that I enjoy teaming up with a client to explore the patterns of their life. Your life patterns are unique, and your counseling experience should reflect that.

If you are feeling hopeless, you're in the right place because I have enough hope for the both of us.

I have been providing psychotherapy to clients in my private practice, hospital environments and college environments for over 25 years. I received my PhD from Tulane University and formerly held an adjunct professor position at Tulane. I help individuals discover resiliency, confidence, meaning and coping skills in the face of life transitions. Whether you face relationship issues, career difficulties, adjustment to high school or college, professional development, or if you are facing a challenging situation, I can provide help and support. My office is located within walking distance of Tulane and Loyola University.

As a seasoned psychologist, I have been fortunate enough to work with people with wide-ranging backgrounds. I've helped motivated patients overcome and adapt to health and fertility issues, grief, divorce, marital problems, substance abuse, anxiety and depression, adjusting to life changes such as starting college, graduation, career changes, and retirement . If you wish to make a change or want to master or better manage intense and bothersome emotions, please call me for a phone consultation or to set up and initial appointment.

Greetings! My name is Nadra DeMagnus and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from New Orleans, Louisiana. I have been providing psychotherapy and relationship coaching for more than ten years.

Do you feel stuck in emotional patterns ? Do you experience feelings that lead to other life challenges or feel difficult to control? Do you feel frequently dysregulated emotionally? We can work together to identify patterns and areas of growth as well as resolve conflict with self and others. I have over 15 years experience as a therapist and approach therapy from an integrated perspective, emphasizing openness, trust, and honesty. I utilize a blend of therapeutic techniques to help clients improve coping skills and self-efficacy, while balancing validation and support for change.

I have worked with clients on a wide range of problems and concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, and family conflict. I recognize that every client has unique experiences, motivations, and strengths, and I tailor my approach to the person sitting across from me. I see my role as providing a safe place to share your experiences, process your circumstances, and work toward making the choices and changes which will lead to a more fulfilling life.

What if I told you that there is place where you can feel safe, understood, and in control of your life? Congrats, you came to the right place! In life, we can often feel lost, alone, and disconnected from the world around us. In therapy, you and I can work together to take the steps to reach the goals that you want to accomplish. My goal is to create a safe and empathetic environment that you feel accepted and comfortable in.

My ideal clients are those who are seeking to be the best versions of themselves. They are looking for an empowering and inspiring partner to begin their transformative journey. Each client brings their own unique experiences, gifts, issues, strengths, and goals to treatment. Clients often come to me feeling "stuck" or "stagnated, others may be grappling with career, relationship or health issues, while some are seeking a "shift" or a re-direction. No matter what their journey, I am supportive and nurturing without enabling and we will act together as a team.

In the 30 years I have been in practice, I have seen the incredible good that therapy can do and have been present to the wonderful changes people experience when they commit to it. I work with adults on issues such as relationship struggles (separation and divorce), anxiety and depression, and end of life challenges, including caregiving. When you examine your inner feelings, and can talk about them, life is less overwhelming. Therapy can be a powerful and rewarding journey.

Struggling is not shameful, and it takes courage to acknowledge and attend to those needs. When you are ready, I'm here to help you clarify, understand, process, and connect the pieces of the unique puzzle that is your life. I look forward to working collaboratively to build an individualized treatment plan to move toward your established goals. I'm experienced working with diverse clients in residential and community settings. I approach counseling from an integrative, holistic perspective leaning upon existential principles. I am currently accepting new clients, providing teletherapy only.

Feeling overwhelmed? Are you having feelings of nervousness and sadness related to how the world perceives you? Do you feel unheard, as if no one understands the issues you face or the traumas you endure? Living in a world that is sometimes unkind to those of us who make up marginalized populations can have long-lasting effects on one’s mental health and overall quality of life. If you have ever experienced any of these feelings, Ms. Alaiyia N. Williams, is the perfect fit for your therapy and counseling needs. She has been practicing as a licensed clinician for nearly 10 years in a variety of settings and in various states.

As a clinician I seek to create a collaborative, safe, and accepting environment where clients can work toward change and wellness. In developing a trusting relationship with my clients I like to engage in a relaxed and conversational manner.
