Nicole Hammond Crowden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD,LCSW-BACS
I have been a social worker for over 18 years and have had the opportunity to work in a variety of areas. However, the last 8 years have been dedicated solely to mental and behavioral health as well as issues related to gender and sexuality. Whether its a person , couple, partnership or family, the issues are identified and together we work towards practical goals that will provide each individual with what they need in order to function. I have developed a style that combines a variety of techniques and treatment modalities. I understand that no two people are the same even if the circumstances appear similar. Therefore, my services are specific to you and are customized to fit your needs. Contrary to what you may believe or heard, you don't need a label or diagnoses to talk with a therapist or a counselor. You may need professional guidance to manage stress, need to modify your parenting style, adjust to life transitions or develop self awareness. I am attentive and available to listen. Just give me a call.

Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP & TRLC
Hi! My name is Gricelda Alva Brito. I am a Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™) Practitioner, SEP and Trauma Resiliency Life Coach (TRLC).
I completed my three year Professional Certificate program in September 2024 offered by Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™)International. Additionally, I trained as a Trauma Resiliency Life Coach through The Arizona Trauma Training Institute accredited and globally recognized by Trauma Institute International. I have worked with survivors of sexual harm offering crisis counseling as a CA Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Crisis Counselor.
Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™) is a modality developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine. SE™ addresses healing the root of trauma and unresolved stress by working with the nervous system.
As a Somatic Life Coach, I will support you in pursuing meaningful goals that align with your life purpose.
Trauma Resiliency Life Coaching will offer individuals with opportunities to understand the neurobiology of their nervous system, manage stress, trauma responses, and gaining awareness on limiting beliefs. TRLC uses an asset focus, strength-based, trauma-informed approach, client led, and salutogenic approach to support client wellness. Somatic Coaching offers an opportunity for empowerment, embodiment and maximizing a client’s true potential in moving forward in life.
As a trauma-informed Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) my approach is to meet clients where they are by creating a safe container. I support clients in regaining control in their lives. I bring a caring presence to support clients to process what needs to come to the surface.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship problems, or difficult life transitions begin affecting your emotional well-being and daily life. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to better understand yourself, heal from past experiences, reduce emotional distress, and create a more meaningful, balanced, and fulfilling life. Many people seek counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, overwhelming emotions, relationship or family issues, grief, burnout, low self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck and disconnected from themselves.
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling and EMDR therapy to help clients identify and resolve the deeper issues contributing to emotional pain, unhealthy patterns, and ongoing stress. Together, you will explore current struggles and past experiences to better understand what may be keeping you feeling overwhelmed, unhappy, or unable to move forward. The goal of therapy is not only symptom relief, but meaningful and lasting healing that helps you regain clarity, confidence, peace, and emotional balance.
Brad takes a holistic and personalized approach to therapy, recognizing that every person’s experiences, needs, and healing process are unique. His counseling style is warm, compassionate, interactive, and non-judgmental, helping clients feel genuinely supported, understood, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process.
Using EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, and holistic therapeutic approaches, Brad helps clients process unresolved trauma, strengthen emotional resilience, increase self-awareness, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating. Therapy focuses on helping clients break unhealthy patterns, reconnect with their inner strengths, and move beyond the pain of the past so they can live with greater purpose, freedom, and fulfillment.
Healing and positive change are possible. No issue is too small or too overwhelming to address in therapy. With the right support, you can reduce stress, restore hope, build resilience, and create the life and relationships you truly want.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing private and convenient access to professional trauma-focused therapy from the comfort of your home.

Metairie is the largest suburb of New Orleans, sitting in Jefferson Parish just west of the city, and its mental health landscape is inseparable from the legacy of Hurricane Katrina, which flooded large parts of the area in 2005 and left lasting trauma across a community that rebuilt slowly and with ongoing grief. As a historically more prosperous suburb of New Orleans, Metairie has higher rates of private insurance coverage and more accessible private therapy than the city itself, but ongoing climate anxiety and the recurring stress of subsequent storms remain significant presenting concerns. Ochsner Health System and Tulane University's medical programs provide behavioral health services in the broader New Orleans metro, and a private therapy sector serves Metairie residents directly. Common therapy concerns include hurricane-related trauma and grief, climate and weather anxiety, family stress, and the complex community grief of a region still navigating recovery decades after Katrina.
