How It Works

Your First Steps in Re-Entry Counseling

Your first session is a conversation, not a checklist. We listen to what has worked for you before, what hasn't, and what kind of help feels possible right now. There's no script here, just space to think through what you actually need as you move forward.

01

A Real Conversation

We ask what you're facing right now, what has helped before, and what you want to be different.

02

A Plan That Fits

We recommend a plan built around your actual schedule and goals, not a one-size-fits-all program.

03

Skill Building

Communication, boundary setting, and emotional regulation skills for the pressure of housing, work, and court requirements.

04

Coordinated Support

When it's needed, we connect you with Family Therapy or Care Coordination so you're not carrying everything alone.

Common Questions

Questions From Ponchatoula Clients

Integrative Recovery Therapies serves adults throughout Ponchatoula and the surrounding area, including Covington, Hammond, and communities across the region. Whether you prefer meeting in person at our Metairie office or connecting with a counselor online, we offer re-entry counseling through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth so you can get support in the way that works best for your life.

No. Re-entry counseling supports your emotional regulation, communication, and decision-making, but it does not replace legal advice or case management. When it's helpful, we can connect you with Care Coordination so you are not carrying everything alone.

No. We work with adults at any point in the re-entry process, whether that's shortly after release, months in, or well after formal supervision has ended.

Sometimes, yes. Families change while someone is incarcerated, and roles shift. When it fits, we may recommend adding Family Therapy alongside re-entry counseling to support healthier patterns at home.

If you are in immediate danger or need urgent support, call 988 or go to the nearest emergency room.

You Don't Have to Figure This Out Alone.

Taking that first step doesn't mean you're struggling, it means you're being honest about what you need right now. A conversation with us is just that: a conversation about where things stand today, no expectations beyond that. We're here to listen and help you figure out what comes next, at your own pace.
