Child Therapists in Baton Rouge, LA

Asa former Children's System Administrator for the Louisiana Behavioral Health Partnership, and a foster/adoptive parent, Mr. Nash has experience with a variety of child/adolescent concerns.

Brad provides compassionate, trauma-informed counseling for children, adolescents, teens, and families facing emotional, behavioral, social, and mental health challenges. Growing up in today’s fast-paced world can be overwhelming for many children and teenagers, especially with increasing academic pressure, social stress, family conflict, bullying, anxiety, and the constant influence of social media. Many young people struggle silently with emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, isolation, trauma, or difficulty coping with everyday stressors. Brad takes a holistic and personalized approach to child and adolescent therapy, helping young clients feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered throughout the counseling process. Therapy is tailored to each child or teen’s unique personality, experiences, emotional needs, and developmental stage. His goal is to help young people improve emotional well-being, strengthen confidence, develop healthier coping skills, and create more positive relationships at home, school, and socially. Many children and adolescents experience emotional struggles connected to bullying, peer pressure, social media stress, family difficulties, trauma, grief, behavioral challenges, self-esteem issues, or major life transitions. Brad provides a safe, non-judgmental environment where children and teens can openly discuss difficult emotions, experiences, fears, or concerns without feeling criticized or misunderstood. No topic is off limits, and therapy is focused on helping young clients feel emotionally secure while working through the challenges affecting their lives. As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help children and teens process difficult experiences, reduce emotional distress, and build resilience. Therapy may focus on improving emotional regulation, reducing anxiety, strengthening communication, healing from trauma, improving self-esteem, and developing healthier coping strategies and relationships. Brad also understands the importance of involving parents and families when appropriate to support healthy communication, emotional connection, consistency, and long-term progress. The counseling process is collaborative and focused on creating lasting positive change that supports both the child and the family system as a whole. Healing, growth, and emotional resilience are possible. With the right support, children and teens can move beyond emotional struggles, develop greater confidence and self-awareness, and create healthier and more fulfilling lives. Virtual counseling and online therapy sessions for children, adolescents, and families are available, providing confidential and convenient access to professional trauma-focused counseling from the comfort of home.

We identify the underlying cognitive skills that are causing these issues and partner with the client to retrain these thinking processes.

Children and adolescents have their own issues that get in the way before becoming adults. I have been helping the young patients with these issues by unconventional hypnotherapies and they are getting resilient and recovering in no time.

Baton Rouge is home to Louisiana State University and serves as Louisiana's state capital, creating a therapy community shaped by student mental health demand, the pressures of government and healthcare careers, and the particular stressors of a Deep South city navigating racial and economic inequity. The city's African American community — which comprises roughly half the population — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma, community resilience, and the psychological weight of systemic inequity. Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center and Ochsner Health provide institutional mental health resources, while LSU's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local community. Baton Rouge's location in a high-flood-risk region means climate-related anxiety and disaster recovery are recurring themes that local therapists address alongside individual concerns.
