About
As a counselor who has struggled with ADHD and social anxiety, I understand the impact that mental health can have on daily life.
Before earning my master’s degree in counseling education, I worked with autistic children in a clinical setting and teenagers in an inpatient setting. I primarily work with children and adolescents experiencing anger, anxiety, and depression, particularly those with ADHD or autism. I also have experience working with adults and families.
I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel comfortable enough for me to be honest, direct, and straightforward when needed. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, to meet each client where they are and tailor treatment to their individual needs.
I don’t just believe that people have the power to change—I know they do. I’ve seen it happen. When we work together toward a goal that is meaningful to you, I believe you can make lasting, meaningful change.

As someone who has experienced personal loss, including the passing of my father in April 2021 and my grandmother in July 2022, I bring a compassionate, authentic understanding of grief while creating a safe and supportive space for clients to heal and grow.
I am a licensed professional counselor and clinical director with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their next steps, and who are seeking healing, clarity, and emotional stability. My goal is to provide a supportive, client-centered space where individuals can build coping skills, process challenges, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life.
I use a client-centered, trauma-informed approach integrating CBT, coping skills, and strengths-based techniques. I specialize in trauma, grief, and emotional regulation, helping clients build insight, develop healthy coping strategies, and feel empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.
You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone—I am here to support you with compassion, understanding, and practical tools for change. When you’re ready, I invite you to take that first step toward healing and becoming the best version of yourself.

As someone who believes we are more alike than different, I strive to show unconditional positive regard for all the individuals I work with.
I’m Ne-Juan Shaul, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling from Xavier University of Louisiana. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while also exploring the ways culture, core beliefs, values, and motivation shape how we think, feel, and behave. I work with adults and teenagers experiencing anger, anxiety, depression, delusional disorder, and relationship conflicts.
I’m down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy should feel approachable and collaborative, so I strive to create a relaxed environment where you can be yourself while still doing meaningful work. I meet clients where they are, treat the whole person, and believe that people have the power and ability to make meaningful changes in their lives. At the same time, therapy is a partnership—you have to be willing to show up, come prepared to engage, and take an active role in the process. I won’t do the work for you, but I’ll be there to provide the tools, support, and encouragement along the way.
Deciding to start counseling can be one of the most challenging steps you take. Inviting a stranger into your personal life isn’t easy, and I can’t promise that therapy will always be comfortable or that you’ll get exactly where you initially imagined. What I can promise is that if you come willing to be honest, engaged, and ready to work, we’ll work together to help you move toward a place that feels healthier and more manageable than where you started.

With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
If you’re struggling with a mental health issue like depression or anxiety, you’re not alone. In any given year, it’s estimated that more than a quarter of Americans suffer from a mental disorder. It’s no surprise considering how many stresses we deal with in modern life, including finances, relationships, and career changes. But despite how common these issues are, many people don’t get the help they need because they don’t seek it out in the first place.
Advancements in the internet and streaming video technology have changed the ways we interact with each other and counseling is no different. As many people feel more comfortable obtaining other services online, online therapy has become an increasingly popular option for those who may have simply put it off otherwise. Help is available online if you’ve been struggling with mental health issues. The licensed professionals at Thriveworks Counseling in Baton Rouge, LA are here to help you work towards the life you want with online counseling services. Reach out today to get started.
Most clients don’t find traditional therapy and virtual therapy to have any significant differences in terms of outcomes. Although you may not be in the same physical space as your licensed counselor, you can receive the same benefits of talk therapy as you would face-to-face.
We offer a wide variety of online therapy services at Thriveworks Counseling, such as:
Whether you’re dealing with a crisis in your life or you have had long-term problems like generalized anxiety or relationship issues, an online therapist can develop a personalized treatment plan to help you reach your goals. If you’d like to experience the difference a licensed therapist can make in your life, contact us at Thriveworks Counseling in Baton Rouge, LA to get started.
Video therapy is a preferable option for many clients. It can be easier to build a trusting emotional connection with your therapist when you can make eye contact. This works both ways as it will be easier for them to read your body language and pick up small nuances.
For people who are struggling with anxiety, visiting a counseling center might exacerbate the problem. The idea of visiting someplace new to speak about intensely personal issues can cause some people to have second thoughts. In these cases, online counseling can be incredibly beneficial. You may even find it easier to open up to your therapist when you’re in the comfort of your own home rather than sitting in an office.
If you’ve been considering seeing a licensed therapist, you don’t have to put it off any longer. Licensed mental health professionals are standing by to offer helpful guidance at Thriveworks Counseling in Baton Rouge, LA.
