Who We Are

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

Trauma doesn't announce itself with a label, and it doesn't care whether it came from one overwhelming event or from years of pressure wearing you down. Here in Harahan, sandwiched between the Mississippi River and the Elmwood Business Park, many people understand how circumstances beyond your control can leave you braced for the next crisis. Reaching out for help doesn't mean you need to have it all figured out or sorted into neat categories. It means you're ready to feel steadier in your own life.

Trauma counseling here starts with the simple commitment that you're in control. We begin by building safety and clarity, making sure you understand what's happening in the room and why. You don't disclose before you're ready, and we never push you toward insights you haven't asked for. As you develop more stability and resources, the deeper work becomes possible, when you decide it's time. Our aim is to help you move through your days without that constant edge, so you can be present for the life you're actually living.

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

Why Clients Choose IRT

Trauma Support Built Around Harahan, Not a Protocol

Harahan sits in a region shaped by Hurricane Katrina's lasting ripples and the ongoing reality of living with water. When a community carries memories of displacement, loss, and rebuilding, those experiences live in people's bodies and relationships long after the storm passes. Trauma counseling helps residents process what they've survived and build stability in a place where weather and resilience are permanently intertwined.

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 aren't about diving into difficult memories right away. Instead, we listen to what you hope to gain from counseling and learn what has worked or fallen short for you before. We move at the pace that feels right for your nervous system, not according to any schedule. You're in control.

No pressure to dive into anything before you're ready. You're in control.
