Therapist

I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist who works with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and exposure-based interventions, while also incorporating practical, real-world strategies that clients can apply outside of session.

I strive to create a space where clients feel both supported and challenged. I believe meaningful growth happens when clients are not only heard, but also guided toward understanding their patterns, building insight, and taking intentional steps toward change. I am intentional about helping clients stay engaged in the therapeutic process, using structured interventions and clear direction so sessions feel purposeful and effective.

My work often focuses on helping clients confront avoidance, process difficult experiences, and rebuild a sense of control and confidence in their lives. I value helping clients translate what they learn in therapy into action, whether that’s through exposure work , skill-building, or developing healthier ways of thinking and responding.

Above all, I aim to empower my clients to help them move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed to feeling capable, resilient, and aligned with the life they want to live.

Hi, I'm Ja'Nera and I have 10 years of experience in the clinical setting. My approach to therapy is quite simple: it's understanding, safe and trauma-focused. My clients always report that I give them a weird sense of safety that fosters room for resolving trauma and managing symptoms.

Dr. Kathy Levy-Oqueli

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and grounded space from the beginning. I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. I also specialize in complex and developmental trauma.

I support clients in integrating their spiritual and cultural values into therapy when desired and clinically appropriate. I was born in New Orleans and bring a culturally informed perspective shaped by my Latina, Indigenous, Christian, and Sephardic Jewish backgrounds.

I became a therapist because I have a deep commitment to helping people recognize and build their own strengths, especially during periods of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I work to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.

I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) and PhD from Tulane University, as well as a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana and Texas, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota. I also hold a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), Licensed Prevention Professional (LPP), and Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP).

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Louisiana


I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner serving people across Louisiana through telehealth, and I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, and multiple other mental health disorders. Empathy is at the core of everything I do — I genuinely want to see the people I work with have the best health outcomes possible, and that desire is what brought me to this field and keeps me invested in every patient I see. Outside of work, I'm usually cooking up something new (mostly grilling), spending time with family, or planning my next trip. Those moments of connection and rest matter to me, and they're a big part of what I want for the people I care for, too.

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.
