Trauma Focused Therapists in Louisiana

I help adults with anxiety, stress, and trauma-related concerns. Treatment often includes understanding patterns that keep you stuck, learning practical coping skills, and gently addressing underlying experiences that affect how you think and feel. Over time, you can expect greater clarity, emotional stability, and improved confidence in managing daily life.

Hi! Have you ever felt like you couldn’t shake that dark cloud hanging over you? Where you lost interest in things or aren’t feeling “normal”. (No one is normal). Whether it’s depression, OCD, trauma/PTSD…or life itself…you don’t have to struggle! Therapy is best when the client and therapist work together. I believe that everyone should be able to access mental health care -regardless of income.  Just a little about myself- I have my masters degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling and am licensed in Louisiana to practice.  I truly enjoy working in the mental health field. I have experience with inpatient hospitals, intensive outpatient therapy, private practice and everything in between. I am grateful for all these experiences that helped me grow as a clinician and as a person.  Hope we can work towards healing and growth!

You have been through so much and come so far! What keeps holding you back from experiencing all of the joy and calm you are seeking? There are protective parts of self that surface to move us through times of trauma and loss, social discord and injustice, economic and environmental crisis, and separation and isolation in our relationships...and these extremely valid coping responses might be contributing to more pain and keeping you from a full, authentic connection to all of your world. Awareness is a big step, yet also needs momentum and action to actualize and heal. Take your journey further. The time is now.

I am the owner and founder of Rowe Counseling Services and have been in mental health treatment for over 8 years. I am licensed in both Mississippi and Louisiana. I have experience working with all age groups. I apply various therapeutic approaches in my work including cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. I always take a client-centered approach and allow you to take the lead in your treatment while I simply act as your guide. Just as many other therapists do, I treat disorders such as depression and anxiety. My specialties however are trauma, dementia, and substance abuse (especially opioid abuse and the use of treatments such as Suboxone and other forms of buprenorphine). I also utilize somatic psychotherapy and sensorimotor psychotherapy for the treatment of trauma and attachment issues. Traditionally, many forms of therapy focus on the influence the mind has on the body. However, trauma is a body response. Somatic and sensorimotor psychotherapy addresses the body to improve the mind. Please, feel free to reach out for a brief consultation to learn more about more about my approaches, my services, and my fees. While I am self-pay only, I do assist with reimbursement for out-of-network benefits. I can quickly check for eligibility.

Welcome!

My therapeutic focus is person-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, in which my clients are able to fully express their thoughts and feelings in a safe and confidential environment without judgment.

Greetings! I'm Dr. Joshua Werblin, a dedicated psychiatrist with a compassionate approach to care. My practice is a sanctuary for individuals of all ages seeking mental wellness. My journey began at The University of Chicago, where I delved into the fundamentals of society and its utopian ideals. I took a somewhat circuitous path from there, working in different fields for nearly a decade before starting to study for my medical degree (M.D.) at Tulane University School of Medicine. During those ten years, I worked variously as a biophysicist, wooden boatbuilder, IT support, astrophysics technical work, and an Auxiliary NYPD officer in Harlem. I completed a Pediatrics Internship at Tulane University, followed by a narrower focus in General Psychiatry Residency training, also at Tulane. I then received subspecialty fellowship training in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Seattle Children's Hospital/University of Washington, followed by the acquisition of Addiction Psychiatry sub-specialization some years later. My career has been diverse, including roles as an Inpatient Psychiatrist, Consult-Liaison Psychiatrist, and several Outpatient Psychiatry positions in New York, Florida, and Maryland. More than half of my career has been spent serving the most underserved and marginalized populations, such as youth and women rescued from the sex trade, runaway youth, homeless families, LGBTQIA++ populations, and undocumented immigrants. Since 2019, I've been proudly serving as 'The Feelings Doctor' in my solo virtual practice, offering psychiatric care for children, adolescents, adults, and those facing addiction challenges. My commitment to you is simple: to provide empathetic, individualized, evidence-based care that supports your unique journey toward mental health wellness, whether or not you choose to use medications along the way. Let's work together to navigate life's challenges and embrace the path to healing and fulfillment.

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals and men's trauma. I believe everyone deserves a space where they can show up exactly as they are without judgment.My approach is grounded in the belief that you're the expert on your own life - my role is to bring my training and skills alongside your wisdom about yourself, creating a safe place where you can explore your truth at your own pace. I use trauma-informed approaches including CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy to help clients process difficult experiences and reclaim their power. Whether you're navigating identity exploration, relationship challenges, life transitions, or healing from trauma, I'm here to create that safe space where real growth can happen. Because you deserve to be seen, heard, and supported exactly as you are.

Struggling with substance use, trauma, or profound grief? Facing issues with self-esteem or relationships? These challenges can make you feel isolated and uncertain. You are not alone, and there is a way forward. Many clients seek my help for relationship difficulties, motivation issues, and to regain control of their lives. Offering telehealth services across Louisiana, I provide support from home. Recognizing that therapy is unique to each individual, I employ a trauma-informed approach with mindfulness and humor to facilitate healing. Despite life’s difficulties, we can discover your inherent strength and healing capabilities. Together, we will explore fresh perspectives, cultivate effective coping mechanisms, and establish meaningful goals. Email me to book a session.
