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.
Therapy and the journey to self-exploration can be hard. Together, we can navigate your path toward improved mental health and emotional well-being. My approach is solution-focused, centered on the immediate obstacles you are facing. While how you got here matters, what you choose to do next can have an even greater impact. As a clinical social worker with experience across private practice, hospital social work, parenting education, and community care, I bring a broad range of experience to support us in working through challenges together.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a OCD Therapist in Shreveport, LA
Finding OCD therapists in Shreveport starts with identifying therapists who have specific experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder. OCD therapy may focus on intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, reassurance seeking, or related concerns. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or OCD listed directly in their bios and specialties.
In a mid-sized city like Shreveport, you may find a mix of local in-person options and virtual therapists licensed in Louisiana. Virtual care can expand your choices if you want a therapist with deeper OCD experience, specific ERP training, or availability that fits your schedule. It also helps to compare whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers a free phone consultation, and explains their approach to OCD clearly. Reading bios can help you tell the difference between therapists who list OCD as an area of familiarity and those who describe focused training in ERP therapy for OCD.
OCD counseling 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 understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready. You can browse OCD therapists in Shreveport, review bios, and choose someone who matches your needs, schedule, and plan.
