Therapy for Depression
in Houma, LA
Understanding Depression
Depression, or Major Depressive Disorder, is a mood disorder characterized by persistent sadness and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can lead to a range of emotional and physical problems, including changes in sleep, appetite, energy levels, and concentration. These symptoms can significantly interfere with daily functioning and overall quality of life.
Your Path to Healing
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a confidential initial consultation where we will discuss your experiences and concerns. This allows us to gain a comprehensive understanding of your symptoms and personal history. Together, we will establish clear, achievable goals for your therapeutic process.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on our assessment, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and preferences. Our approach integrates evidence-based therapeutic modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic approaches. This ensures you receive the most effective care for your specific situation.
Therapeutic Sessions
During your regular therapy sessions, you will engage in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. You will learn valuable coping strategies, explore underlying emotional patterns, and develop healthier thought processes. These sessions are designed to empower you with tools for lasting change.
Ongoing Support
We provide continuous support as you progress through your treatment. We will regularly monitor your progress, adjust the treatment plan as needed, and celebrate your successes. Our aim is to help you build long-term resilience and maintain your improved well-being.

Testimonials
I was referred to Dr. Shay Burns to get tested for autism and ADHD as an adult. I was really impressed! After only a few hours of interviews and testing, she wrote a report about me that showed she understood me at a deep level. Plus she’s very friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to.
