My name is Shanna McMullen, and I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing from Northwestern State University of Louisiana. I work with adults and seniors, and I bring a broad, inclusive, and genuinely creative approach to mental health care.
My clinical areas span anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, ADD/ADHD, panic disorders, chronic conditions, sleep disorders, stress, relationships, and family concerns. I offer dedicated support for maternal mental health — including prenatal and postpartum experiences — and I am deeply committed to affirming, knowledgeable care for LGBTQ+ individuals, including those navigating gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender experiences, as well as men's and women's mental health needs.
One thing that sets my practice apart: I incorporate Art Therapy as one of my therapeutic approaches — using creative expression as a powerful pathway to insight, healing, and self-discovery for clients who connect with that kind of work.
Whatever brings you here, you will be met with openness, care, and the full breadth of what I have to offer.
I am located in New Orleans, Louisiana and I believe you are deserving of the healing and love you seek. You are worthy of support and having space held for you to be safe and open.
My goal is to hold space for you, nurture your inner healer and empower you to grow in the way you always knew was possible. My encouragement to you is to allow yourself the space and time to heal through therapy.
Give yourself the permission to be gentle and begin your introspective journey in a safe and calming therapeutic environment. You are the curator for what works best for you. My hope is to be the support you need.
I’m Velia R. Bradley, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor in Louisiana with over 10 years of experience supporting people through emotional and psychological challenges. I earned my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Louisiana at Monroe and am currently pursuing a doctorate focused on Counseling Education, Supervision, Trauma, and Crisis Interventions. My approach is holistic and client-centered, with care for the mind, body, soul, and spirit. I meet you where you are and work alongside you at your pace, with honesty, warmth, and respect.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Shreveport, LA
Finding ADHD therapists in Shreveport starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation, time management, and patterns that affect school, work, or relationships. Psychiatrists can support medication management when that is part of your care plan. Some people look for therapy, some look for psychiatry in Shreveport, LA, and some use both. If you are searching for adult ADHD support or care for a child or teen, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and experience match that age group.
In a mid-sized market like Shreveport, the right fit may depend on both local access and appointment format. In-person sessions may work well if you prefer an office setting near home, work, or school, while virtual appointments can expand your options across Louisiana. ADHD can also overlap with anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, or relationship stress, so it helps to find a therapist who has experience with ADHD and related concerns. As you compare profiles, review availability, therapy approach, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how each therapist describes their communication style.
Therapy in Shreveport can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing mental health care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for ADHD therapists who are accepting new patients, compare virtual and in-person options, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review therapist bios, check insurance fit, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
