Life can feel overwhelming when challenges begin piling up faster than you can manage them. Whether you are struggling with substance use, ADHD, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, stress, or simply trying to navigate a difficult season of life, it can be hard to know where to start. When emotions are running high and solutions feel out of reach, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain perspective, and begin moving forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Hello! I work with client's who struggle with anxiety, depression, substance use, stress, and etc. Over the past years I have developed my counseling skills to help others achieve their goals and needs they are wanting to accomplish in their counseling journey.

After more than 20 years of working with children and families in the school system, I now provide virtual therapy to reach and support more people navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, stress management challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Many of my clients struggle with emotional regulation, feeling overwhelmed, attention and focus concerns, family conflict, academic stress, or feeling stuck in patterns that impact daily life. Family dynamics and personal relationships are often at the heart of these challenges. My approach is creative, engaging, and intentionally different from traditional talk therapy. I incorporate music, humor, interactive exercises, and experiential techniques to help reduce anxiety, build coping skills, and make it easier to process difficult emotions in a supportive, welcoming space.

I am Jamila Warner, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality care that honors your unique journey. My approach is focused on creating harmony and order in the face of life's everyday challenges. I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients suffering from various mental illnesses including, but not limited to ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and psychotic disorders.

I have an undergraduate and master's degree in social work. I am a licensed clinical social worker who obtained three years postmaster level supervision to obtain my license in order to practice mental health therapy independently. I love working with individuals to help make their lives more satisfying.

I have been practicing since May 2012 and am one of only eight certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) specialists in the state of Louisiana. I received my training at a VA hospital, where I worked extensively with veterans, gaining deep experience in trauma-informed care.

Over the course of my career, I have worked across all levels of care, which uniquely equips me to support clients in crisis and navigate difficult, emotionally intense situations during sessions. I am also a certified trauma specialist, and I firmly believe that recovery and renewed hope are possible for every client I serve.
