Healing flourishes when you feel seen, heard, and met with warmth and curiosity. My approach is trauma-informed and collaborative, with a focus on creating safety, fostering self‐compassion, and helping you move toward a more balanced, meaningful life. I work with individuals and couples, recognizing how stress, mood, and life circumstances shape emotional patterns, connection, and how your body responds to stress. I’m committed to offering a steady, thoughtful space where your values, boundaries, and goals guide our work at a pace that feels right for you.

Hi there! I'm Casey Gonzales, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 20 years of experience supporting adults and adolescents through life’s challenges. I earned my Master’s degree from Augusta State University and am licensed in Louisiana, with telehealth availability for clients in select states. Throughout my years in practice, I’ve worked with people navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, difficulty setting boundaries, perfectionism, people-pleasing tendencies, and decision-making struggles. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process grounded in safety, respect, and authenticity. I strive to make therapy a space where clients can deeply explore their experiences, gain insight, and build practical skills for making meaningful change.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New Orleans

Finding the right therapist in New Orleans starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions — and look for a licensed provider who specializes in those areas. Common license types in Louisiana include LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, and psychologists, and each brings a different training background to their work.

New Orleans has a wide range of mental health providers practicing across neighborhoods like Uptown, Mid-City, the Garden District, Lakeview, and the French Quarter. Narrowing your options can feel like a lot, especially when you're also weighing logistics like scheduling, session format, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual visits. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

Therapy in New Orleans can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to see estimated costs upfront, so you know what to expect before your first appointment.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
