Who We Are

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

Trauma can come from a single event or years of accumulation. Living near NAS JRB New Orleans, many in Belle Chasse carry the weight of what's happened around you—sometimes clearly defined, sometimes not. You don't need a diagnosis or a neat story to reach out. If you're waking up on edge, shutting down in conversations, or finding your past pulling at you without permission, that's enough.

At Integrative Recovery Therapies, we start where you are. We build safety first, then clarity about what's happening in your body and your life. You set the pace. We never ask you to disclose more than feels manageable, and we don't push into deeper territory until you're resourced enough to handle it. Healing happens gradually, at your rhythm.

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 Belle Chasse, Not a Protocol

Belle Chasse sits in a region shaped by hurricanes and flooding that test families' resilience year after year. Trauma counseling matters here because those repeated storms leave invisible marks alongside the visible ones. Having someone trained to help you process fear, loss, and the weight of rebuilding isn't a luxury - it's part of taking care of yourself the way you'd tend to your home after a storm.

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

Your first sessions are about understanding what you need and what has worked or not worked before. There's no rush to talk about difficult things. We listen to your body and mind, moving at the pace that feels right for you, 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.
