Empower Your Mind Today

I work with children as young as age 3, as well as school-age children, teens, and adults. I tailor my approach based on each client’s age and developmental needs.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral difficulties, ADHD, parenting challenges, grief, academic struggles, and family conflict. I also work with families navigating separation, divorce, or court-involved situations like reunification.

Reunification therapy helps restore relationships between a child and an estranged parent. It is court-ordered, not insurance-reimbursable, and involves structured sessions to rebuild trust and communication. The process is child-centered and may be emotionally challenging, but it aims to promote long-term healing and connection.

Both parents are generally included unless doing so would cause harm to the child. I require legal documentation outlining custody and therapy permissions before beginning treatment. Confidentiality and neutrality are key; I do not take sides or provide custody recommendations.

While I prioritize the child’s therapeutic confidentiality, communication from one parent may be shared with the other if necessary for the child's wellbeing. I reserve the right to manage what is appropriate to share and what should remain confidential to protect the child and therapy process.

My standard fee is $125 per 50-minute session. For court-involved or reunification therapy, the rate is $150 per hour. I am a private pay provider and do not bill insurance, but I can provide an invoice for you to submit for reimbursement.

Each parent is responsible for submitting a payment form. Payment arrangements must follow court orders, and invoices are sent to only one parent, as agreed upon at the start of therapy.

I require 48 hours' notice for cancellations. Exceptions may be made for emergencies or illness. Missed appointments without proper notice may result in a full session charge.

To protect your privacy, I won’t acknowledge or approach you in public. You are always welcome to initiate contact if you feel comfortable, but I will never do so on my own.

Call me at (225) 953-1599 or email lori@heromancounseling.com. I’ll guide you through the intake process and answer any questions you may have before scheduling your first appointment.
