Who We Are

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

Trauma doesn't always arrive as one big event. It can build over time, through relationships, work environments, or living through what the River Road corridor and surrounding LaPlace neighborhoods know too well: industrial stress, economic strain, repeated loss. You don't need a diagnosis or a tidy story to reach out. If your body stays tight, if you're exhausted from staying alert, if certain moments pull you back without warning, that's enough reason to talk to someone who understands.

Trauma counseling here starts with your safety and your pace. We listen without pushing you to disclose more than you're ready for, and we help you build internal resources before moving into deeper territory. You're never forced to relive what happened. Instead, we work together to help you feel steadier in your own life again, more present, less trapped by what came before.

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 LaPlace, Not a Protocol

LaPlace residents know what it means to rebuild. Hurricane Ida, repeated flooding, and the constant threat of storms leave real marks on families and communities. Trauma counseling matters here because recovery isn't just about getting through the next storm - it's about healing the accumulated weight of loss, worry, and uncertainty that settles into people's lives when home itself feels fragile. Having someone to talk to who understands this particular strain helps people find solid ground again.

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

When you first reach out from LaPlace, your trauma counselor will focus on understanding what you hope to gain and what has worked, or hasn't worked, before. There's no rush to tell your story. Your nervous system sets the pace, not a timeline or form. Safety comes first.

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.

Common Questions

Questions From LaPlace Clients

Integrative Recovery Therapies serves the LaPlace community and surrounding areas, including Boutte, Hahnville, Destrehan, and Edgard.

We currently are unable to offer support for schizophrenia and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. For most other concerns, including PTSD, complex trauma, and co-occurring substance use, we treat them alongside anything else going on.

You Don't Have to Carry This Alone.

Taking that first step often brings relief and uncertainty together - that's completely normal. Your initial conversation is simply about understanding what you're experiencing and what kind of support might work for you right now. There's no pressure to dig deeper than feels manageable. We'll start exactly where you are.
