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.

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).

Johnathan Augustine

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.
