Therapy Resource Guide
Please discuss insurance coverage and payment information with any provider.
General Tips:
- Contact your health insurance provider. Call your health insurance provider and ask for a list of in-network therapists or visit their website and use the “provider search/locator” tool to find in-network therapists.
- Utilize a “therapist locator” service online. There are free websites (several listed below) that enable you to find a local therapist who provides the type of therapy you’re looking for.
- Contact a community mental health clinic. Metropolitan Human Services District (504-568-3130), JeffCare (504-838-5257), and the “Guide to Behavioral Health Resources in the NOLA Area” (linked below) offer options.
