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.

I am here for you to assist with the pressures, struggles and challenges of every day life and the human experience. You can absolutely handle your situation at hand and I am here to help you uncover and use the strengths and tools you already possess. We will work through this together.

Have worked with a variety of Child and Adolescent issues over the past 20 years. I have received training on a diversity of issues affecting Children and Adolescents. Including working with parents and teachers to develop the support needed in order to help the Child or Adolescent be as successful as possible.

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 unique problems and concerns needing to be addressed. Parenting children and adolescents can be very challenging. Using a collaborative approach that includes the whole family, parents and children can develop skills that will have a tremendous impact on a favorable outcome for all.

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.
