Chronic Pain Therapists in New Orleans, LA

I help individuals learn that chronic pain can be managed with commonly used therapy techniques while exploring how chronic pain affects us mentally and emotionally.

Living with chronic pain/illness can be extremely difficult. Pain increases depression, anxiety, and feelings of hopelessness and being misunderstood, which can negatively impact relationships with others.

Those suffering with chronic pain/illness often deal with a lot of shame and guilt for how their disease affects them. This includes struggling to maintain social relationships, difficulty maintaining a meaningful quality of life, dealing with not having solid answers from healthcare professionals and so much more. Counseling can help work through some of these areas and give you a safe space to process them.

I specialize in supporting individuals living with chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, and persistent pain as they navigate the emotional impact of ongoing health challenges. Together, we address grief, anxiety, identity shifts, burnout, relationship changes, and the mind-body connection, helping clients develop practical coping strategies, rebuild resilience, and create a meaningful life alongside their diagnosis.

We have a clinician who specializes in chronic pain.

New Orleans carries deep collective trauma from Hurricane Katrina and subsequent flooding events, and therapists specializing in disaster recovery, PTSD, and community resilience remain in strong demand. The city's culture of celebration and togetherness can mask significant individual struggles with addiction, grief, and depression, and therapists here often work at the intersection of joy, loss, and survival. New Orleans' distinct cultural identity — rooted in African American, Creole, and Caribbean traditions — means culturally grounded and community-engaged therapy is particularly valued. Tulane Medical Center and University Medical Center New Orleans provide institutional mental health resources alongside a network of independent practitioners serving Uptown, Mid-City, and the Marigny.
