Who We Are

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

Trauma settles differently in each of us, whether from one significant event or from years of strain. Here in Golden Meadow, where the demands of coastal living and work in the offshore oil and fishing industries shape so many of our rhythms, plenty of people carry weight they've never quite named. Reaching out for support doesn't mean you need to have it all figured out or labeled. It just means you're tired of your nervous system running the show.

At Integrative Recovery Therapies, we start with your safety and your pace. You're never pushed to talk about what happened before you're ready, and you never have to earn the right to feel calm in your own body. We help you build resources first, find your footing, and understand what's happening in you. Only when you feel resourced enough do we move toward the deeper material. This is work you lead, and we guide.

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 Golden Meadow, Not a Protocol

Golden Meadow sits in hurricane country, where families know firsthand what it means to lose everything to the water and rebuild. That kind of repeated loss stays in your bones. Trauma counseling matters here because it helps people process not just one storm, but the weight of many, and the fear that comes with living somewhere beautiful and precarious at the same time.

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.
