Jennifer Ladd, LPC-A, NCC

Hi, I’m Jen! My pronouns are she/they.  I am a  Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-275).  I am honored to work with clients through their journey of authentic self-discovery.  In my free time I enjoy reading, practicing yoga, riding my bike, being outside and spending time with my dog, Levi. 

I know that beginning the therapy process can feel overwhelming. If you feel like we may be a good fit I encourage you to reach out whenever you feel that you are ready.

 I utilize an existential approach to therapy that incorporates mindfulness based practices, somatic awareness and focuses on your individual needs and goals for therapy.  My practice is non-judgmental, trauma-informed, and collaborative in an effort to cultivate trust, safety, and respect. I value all dimensions of human diversity and I am an accomplice to the LGBTQAI+ community.  Additionally, I pride myself on being a helper of helpers, and have additional experience and training in working with veterinary professionals and first responders. 

I work with adults and adolescents (ages 14 and older) individually and in group therapy. I also offer relationship therapy. I have experience and additional training in the following areas:

• Trauma Recovery 
• Brainspotting 
•  LGBTQAI+ Experiences (including gender dysphoria, gender exploration & gender transition)
• Anxiety & Depression
• Grief and Loss

I am trained in Brainspotting, levels 1 and 2 and have completed the 2024 SEBI Brainspotting fellowship program. I have presented at the Louisiana Counseling Association Conference in 2023, 2021 & 2020 and The Holy Cross Ethic’s Conference in 2021 & 2022.  Topics included: Honoring Queer Grief and Joy through Somatic Practices, Social Media and Grief, Applying Ethics and Reducing Risk in Trauma Treatment, Uncovering Bias, and The Effect of Covid-19 on Grief Experiences.  If you're interested in having me speak to your organization or share a presentation at an upcoming event, reach out!

I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Missouri- Kansas City and a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southeastern Louisiana University.
