Who We Are

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

Trauma doesn't always arrive as one clear event. It can build quietly over months or years, leaving you hypervigilant, numb, or caught in unwanted memories that surface without warning. Here in Chalmette, where community and resilience run deep, you might be managing fine on the surface while feeling unsafe in your own nervous system. You don't need a diagnosis or a neat story to reach out. You just need relief from how you're living right now.

At Integrative Recovery Therapies, we start where you are. We build safety first, help you understand what's happening in your body, and move at your pace. You're never pushed to talk about what happened before you feel ready. As your nervous system finds steadier ground, we work together toward the deeper shifts that let you reclaim your life without the constant edge. Healing begins with permission to go slow.

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 Chalmette, Not a Protocol

Chalmette carries the weight of Hurricane Katrina in ways that still ripple through daily life - many folks here lost homes, loved ones, or both, and those kinds of losses don't just fade with time. Trauma counseling matters because it gives people a real place to process what happened and how it changed them, without judgment or rush. Having someone trained to listen and help you sort through that kind of collective heartbreak can be the difference between carrying it alone and finding your way forward.

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.

A real person, not a call center, will respond to your inquiry.

Taking that first step often feels both relieving and uncertain - and that's completely okay. Your first conversation with us is simply about understanding what you're facing and what kind of support might work for you right now. Nothing more. You're in control of your pace, always.
