Who We Are

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

Trauma shows up in your body and your daily life in ways that have nothing to do with whether you can name what happened or trace it to one moment. Whether your load comes from a single event or from years of living through hard things, whether you grew up in Bogalusa watching the Pearl River and the paper mills shape this town or came here later, reaching out for help doesn't mean you have to have it all figured out first. You don't need the perfect story. You just need to want something different than what you've been living with.

At Integrative Recovery Therapies, we start with safety and your consent. No one here will ask you to spill everything before you're ready or push you to talk about what you're not prepared to name. We build clarity together, resource you with tools that help you feel steadier in your own nervous system, and only move toward deeper work when you're resourced enough to do it. Healing isn't about forcing yourself to relive the past. It's about getting your life back from the way trauma keeps you stuck in high alert, numb, or trapped.

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 Bogalusa, Not a Protocol

Bogalusa has weathered real hardship - from the devastating floods that tested this community's resilience to the ongoing struggles with violence that touch too many families here. Trauma counseling matters because healing isn't something you do alone, and this town deserves support that understands what its people have actually lived through. A counselor who gets Bogalusa's story can help you make sense of yours.

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.

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 listening and learning. We'll talk about what you hope to find and what has or hasn't worked before. There's no rush to share everything at once. We move at the pace that feels right for your nervous 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.
