Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Slidell, LA

I have been a LPC for over 10 years and have worked with a very diverse group of clients. They range in age from 6 to 60. I specialize in adolescents and trauma. I have also worked with depression, anxiety, personal relationships, parenting problems, addictions, emotional abuse, and physical trauma.

My name is Yolanda Cockerham, and I am currently based in Louisiana, but I also see patients in the D.C. area. I grew up in New Orleans. I completed my Post Master’s Degree at Southeastern Louisiana University and am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am skilled in assessing and treating a variety of mental health disorders, including Anxiety/PTSD, Major Depression, Bipolar/Mood Disorders, and Schizophrenia.

Hi, I’m Desire’ — therapist, humorous truth-teller, cycle-breaker, and professional reminder that healing doesn’t always look pretty... but it is possible.

I help people navigate the messy middle of life: anxiety, relationship stress, burnout, childhood wounds, people-pleasing, generational trauma, and the exhausting habit of carrying everyone else while quietly falling apart yourself. My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, and honest — because sometimes healing starts with finally being able to say, “Yeah... this is a lot.”

Outside of counseling, I’m probably sleeping, daydreaming about the next vacation, or walking to stay young, because only clothes get old right? Yeah!

Kayla, a licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community mental health, recognized the profound disparities in access to mental health care within BIPOC communities. Inspired by a vision of creating a space where healing is both inclusive and affordable, she founded Helen’s Project with the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of their background or financial situation.​​Helen’s Project operates on the principle that culturally competent and empathetic mental health care is essential for holistic well-being. The organization collaborates with a diverse team of mental health professionals who not only possess clinical expertise but also understand the unique cultural nuances and challenges faced by the BIPOC community.

I've faced many problems in life and will probably share many of their feelings
