Are you looking for a therapist who is encouraging, warm, empathetic, and affirming? If so, you may be in the right place. Hi, I’m Kayla Bellard, and I’m here to support you in your journey toward healing and growth.
As a fellow Louisianian, I value connection, authenticity, and meeting people where they are. I enjoy southern cuisine, Mardi Gras parades, and spending time outdoors - and I bring that same warmth and down-to-earth approach into my work with clients. I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life transitions. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and safe to explore your experiences.
My therapeutic approach is person-centered and focused on your goals, needs, and personal growth. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, and self-discovery. Together, we focus on collaboration, respect, and building insight so you can move forward with confidence and clarity.
I have an undergraduate and master's degree in social work. I am a licensed clinical social worker who obtained three years postmaster level supervision to obtain my license in order to practice mental health therapy independently. I love working with individuals to help make their lives more satisfying.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years experience in mental and behavioral health. I have worked with all ages from 0-65+, and am certified in a variety of evidence-based practices that aid individuals and families in reaching their goals. These include, but are not limited to CBT, Multisystemic Therapy, Child Parent Psychotherapy, Positive Parenting Program, and many others. I am also in pursuit of my doctoral degree with a focus on counseling psychology.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Shreveport, LA
Searching for therapists in Shreveport starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Shreveport therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match your needs. Provider bios can also help you understand how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and works with people seeking similar care.
In a mid-size city like Shreveport, your options may include therapists with offices near areas like South Highlands, Highland, Broadmoor, and downtown, along with therapists who offer virtual appointments across Louisiana. In-person care may work well if location and commute are important. Virtual therapy may fit better if you need more scheduling flexibility. Before booking, compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation so you can assess fit.
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 care more accessible. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
