Our therapists provide depression counseling in Shreveport, LA

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.

Hello, I'm Katrenia White-Law, MA, LCPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals, couples, families, and adolescents navigate life's challenges with compassion, evidence-based care, and practical solutions. With years of experience in behavioral health, community mental health, family systems, substance use treatment, and telehealth counseling, I have had the privilege of working with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, relationship conflict, addiction, life transitions, emotional regulation difficulties, and family stress.

Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward. Others are seeking healthier relationships, improved communication, greater self-confidence, recovery from addiction, or effective coping strategies to manage stress and create lasting change.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their experiences, build resilience, develop new skills, and move toward healing, hope, and a more fulfilling life.

Hello, my name is Gabrielle Newton, MSN, PMHNP-BC. Born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana, I've always appreciated volunteering, animal activism, and nature. My passion for mental health began early as I watched a loved one struggle with Alzheimer's disease, inspiring me to pursue this career. I earned my B.S. in Nursing in 2013 and became a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in 2021 at Northwestern State University. I treat children, adolescents, and adults for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, insomnia, and mood-related disorders, with specialized experience in postpartum depression, anxiety, and psychosis. 

I take a comprehensive approach: medication management, therapy, lifestyle interventions, and evaluation of underlying medical conditions. I discuss evidence-based natural options when appropriate, emphasize lab monitoring and physical health, and encourage medication with therapy. Journaling and self-help resources can help when therapy isn't available. 

Life can be challenging, and seeking help is often the hardest step. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or postpartum concerns, you don't have to face it alone. I believe every person's story matters, and I'm committed to meeting you where you are without judgment. You don't need to have it all figured out. Make peace of mind your priority.
