Who We Are

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

Trauma shows up differently for everyone, whether it came from one overwhelming moment or from years of living with threat. Here in Slidell, where many people balance the daily commute along I-10 into New Orleans with the rhythms of home and family, it's easy to push through without naming what's happened. You don't need a diagnosis or a neat story to reach out. Sometimes you just need to stop white-knuckling your way through the day.

At Integrative Recovery Therapies, we start where you actually are: building safety and understanding what happened without rushing you to talk about anything before you're ready. We help you recognize your own resources first, the steady ground beneath you, and only move into deeper work when your nervous system can handle it. Healing doesn't mean excavating everything at once. It means learning to live in your own skin again, without the constant edge.

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 Slidell, Not a Protocol

Slidell knows hurricanes. Whether you lived through Katrina, weathered recent storms, or grew up hearing those stories, hurricane season carries weight for families here. Trauma counseling matters because that's not something you just move past alone. A counselor who understands what it means to rebuild, to stay alert each summer, to hold both safety and grief at the same time, can help you process what's real and what's fear, and 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

Your first sessions are about understanding what brings you in and what you hope will be different. We listen to what's worked before, what hasn't. There's no rush to tell everything at once. We move at the pace that feels right for your nervous system, not according to any timeline.

01

Reach Out

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.

There's no pressure to dive into anything before you're ready. We'll start exactly where you are.
