About
With 30 years of experience, I've learned that healing is never 'cookie-cutter.' I bring a warm, compassionate, and uniquely personal perspective to therapy, honoring the individuality of your story with the wisdom of a clinician, wife, and mother.
After many years in social work, I've come to believe that the most effective therapy doesn't come from a one-size-fits-all approach, but from meeting you exactly where you are. I believe in deeply individualized care, partnering with you to identify your goals and help you make rapid, meaningful progress. With a unique perspective shaped by my own journey through challenges and trauma, I offer an open-minded, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly understood and empowered to heal.
My approach is client-centered and eclectic—I tailor my methods to your unique needs rather than one fixed style. I draw on CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy and specialize in trauma-informed care and grief counseling. Whether processing trauma, facing a crisis, or adjusting to change, I'm here to create a space where you feel heard and empowered.
I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to act as a supportive guide on your journey toward healing. You've already shown immense strength by looking for support. Let's work together to build on that strength - I invite you to book your first appointment today and to begin the next chapter.

Andrew LeBlanc is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a long history of working in mental health and a wide range of experience. He's been in this field since '93 before becoming a social worker and has worked with many different populations from young adults to the senior community.
Andrew received his Master's of Social Work from SUNO School of Social Work. He has also experienced what it is like to be affected by mental health personally and believes this gives him an advantage as a service provider.
Andrew incorporates a variety of techniques into treatment including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based, and strength-based approaches. "I believe that mental health is just as important as physical health and there should be no stigma in seeking assistance," he says.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community who rebuilt my relationship with spirituality after leaving a harmful religious environment, I know the courage it takes to reclaim yourself and your spiritual path.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of experience supporting individuals and couples who don’t fit neatly into conventional boxes. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, members of poly and kink communities, individuals healing from religious trauma, and those exploring alternative spiritual paths. I am committed to creating a space where your identity is respected and your lived experience is honored.
I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University. My approach is affirming, trauma-informed, and person-centered. I help clients unpack shame, rebuild self-trust, and develop tools that support authentic, values-aligned living.
If you’ve been surviving for a long time and are ready to start living on your own terms, we can work together. You don’t have to do this alone or settle for a therapist who doesn’t understand your experiences. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you take that first step forward.

Child therapy, also known as counseling for kids, helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst kids include behavioral issues, trauma, bullying, depression, and anxiety. All ages of children can attend and benefit from child therapy at Thriveworks .
Child therapy works by using multiple techniques tailored to fit the child’s needs based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve play therapy for younger kids or cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks child therapists in , LA have the expertise and experience to help kids at their level.
Child therapy is a type of therapy meant for clients within a specific age group, while play therapy is an approach to therapy that helps children with self-expression and stress relief, among others. Play therapy is a technique that is often used in child therapy to help children express what’s running through their minds when they do not have the words to express their thoughts and emotions. It can get children to express what’s wrong, what might be causing unwanted behaviors, or what they might need in a way that is accessible to them so that therapists can then work to treat the issue.
It’s not always obvious when a child should see a therapist for their behavior, though in the midst of challenges like divorce, loss, bullying, and other mental health conditions, it’s often a good idea to seek it out. Common behaviors that can indicate a need for child therapy include separation anxiety, bedwetting (at inappropriate ages), and agitation/excessive irritability — especially if it reaches a point of physical violence.
Cognitive behavioral therapy at Thriveworks in , LA is one of the best types of therapy for children. However, it can be administered in child therapy sessions in a variety of ways that are more accessible to young minds, such as play therapy.
Child therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of child therapy depends on your child’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, child therapy sessions will last for several months.
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.
Childhood is a time for constant growing, changing, and evolving. Children learn so much in such a short amount of time that will set them up for the rest of their lives. Everything from taking their first steps and learning to talk to moving to a new city and grieving the loss of a loved one, children are observing and learning. Processing the many emotions that come along with such changes is difficult for anyone but is especially difficult for kids who are still developing mentally and physically. When your child is going through something that’s challenging, working with a professional can help them better endure those big life changes.
It’s not our job to toughen our children up to face a cruel and heartless world. It’s our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless.” –L.R. Knost

If your child is having a hard time adjusting to a new city, a child therapist can help them learn how to cope and make new friends. If your child is struggling with your divorce, a child therapist can help them process their emotions. Whatever challenge your child or teen is facing, a Thriveworks Louisiana child therapist can offer the guidance and support they need to get through it. If you believe your child could benefit from working with a psychologist, reach out to Thriveworks Louisiana Counseling by giving us a call or scheduling online.
As a parent, it can be hard to accept when our children are going through something that is beyond our control. If it were up to parents, children would never have to face the evils of the world. Unfortunately, it is hard to avoid. Having your child get the help of a licensed psychologist does not make you a bad parent or mean you did something wrong. Seeking the help of a child therapist is actually a very strong thing to do. It shows how much undying love you have for your teen or little one.
Here is a list of concerns we frequently see children for at Thriveworks Louisiana Counseling:
These are just some of the areas in which a Thriveworks Louisiana Counseling child therapist could help. Sometimes what a teen or child is going through is not obvious. We can help diagnose underlying conditions and identify specific events that may have triggered the symptoms they are having.
Child therapy does not differ too much from regular adult therapy. In the beginning sessions, the therapist will assess the symptoms and concerns at hand in order to craft a plan of action that is unique to the needs of your child. After this, they will then be able to use a variety of different therapy methods to connect on a deeper, more meaningful level with the child. There are many different methods and each person works best with some over others. Some of the different methods that may be used during child therapy include:
A psychologist at Thriveworks Louisiana will be able to use these methods, along with others, to connect with your child in ways that make sense to them.
Thriveworks Louisiana Counseling has two convenient appointment options for our clients, which are:
Both options are proven effective and are comfortable, convenient, and reliable. In addition to these benefits, Thriveworks Louisiana also offers flexible scheduling options, a wide variety of appointment times, and is affordable. Give us a call or schedule online when you are ready!
Don’t wait any longer to get your child the help they need. The sooner they get help, the better their mental health will be today and in the future. We look forward to hearing from you.
