Who We Are

You Are Not Broken, and You Don't Have to Carry This Alone

Trauma doesn't always come from one big event. It builds up over time, through repeated stress, loss, or things that happened in your family or community. Here in Baton Rouge, many people carry the weight of the 2016 flood, displacement, or generations of hardship without a clean story to tell. You don't need to name what happened before reaching out. You just need to stop feeling trapped in your own nervous system.

At Integrative Recovery Therapies, we start where you are: building safety first, never pushing you to talk about details you're not ready for. We help you understand what your body and mind are doing, and we give you real tools to feel less on edge and more present in your actual life. Deeper work happens only when you feel steady enough, resourced enough, and genuinely willing. That's how healing actually takes root.

Signs Trauma Counseling Can Help

  • Intrusive memories, flashbacks, or nightmares
  • Hypervigilance and constant scanning for danger
  • Emotional numbness or feeling detached
  • Avoidance of people, places, or reminders
  • Difficulty trusting or staying present in relationships
  • Using substances to sleep, calm down, or stop thinking

Trauma Support Built Around Baton Rouge, Not a Protocol

Baton Rouge has weathered real storms - literal and otherwise. Between the 2016 flood that touched so many neighborhoods, a community shaped by historical and ongoing violence, and families carrying generational weight, many here carry more than most realize. Trauma counseling matters because it gives people a safe place to process what they've lived through, without shame. That kind of healing work helps neighborhoods actually recover, not just rebuild.

Safety and Consent First

We move toward deeper processing only when you feel resourced enough, never before you're ready.

Treated Like Family

A small team by design. You'll never be passed around or treated like a number.

Never Shaming

Non-punitive, always. We don't use shame as a tool, and we're direct with care.

Insurance-Friendly Access

Louisiana Medicaid, Medicare, and most major commercial plans accepted.

How It Works

Your First Steps in Trauma Counseling

When you first reach out from Baton Rouge, your counselor will focus on understanding what brought you in and what you hope to find here. Early sessions aren't about pushing you to share difficult things. Instead, we listen to what has worked or not worked for you before, and we move at a pace that feels right for your system, not according to any schedule.

01

Reach Out

A real member of our team, often one of our founders, responds personally to understand what's going on.

02

Stabilization & Skills

Building grounding, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance so daily life becomes more manageable.

03

Processing & Integration

Gently addressing traumatic material, only with consent, in a way that reduces intensity and restores choice.

04

Reconnection

Strengthening identity, relationships, and values-based living so your life isn't organized around what happened.

Common Questions

Questions From Baton Rouge Clients

Integrative Recovery Therapies works with clients throughout Baton Rouge and surrounding areas including Denham Springs, Gonzales, Prairieville, Metairie, and Baker. We offer trauma counseling online through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth if that works better for your schedule, and we also have an in-person office in Metairie for those who prefer face-to-face sessions. Either way, we're here to help you get the support you need.

Yes. We work with Louisiana Medicaid, Medicare, and most major commercial insurance plans. Our team will verify your specific benefits before your first session, and we're transparent about costs from the start.

We currently are unable to offer support for schizophrenia and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. For most other concerns, including PTSD, complex trauma, and co-occurring substance use, we treat them alongside anything else going on.

You Don't Have to Carry This Alone.

Taking that first step might feel uncertain, even hopeful and scary at once. That's completely normal. Your first conversation with us is just that - a conversation. We'll listen to what's happening and talk about what feels manageable for you right now, at your own pace. You're in control here.
