Briana strider, plpc

Contracted Counselor in Chalmette & metairie

Hi! I’m Briana Strider, a PLPC with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Loyola University New Orleans. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who may be navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of where to go next.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can truly be yourself—without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that you have everything figured out. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and you don’t have to know exactly what to say or where to begin. We can figure that out together.

My approach is person-centered, meaning I believe you are the expert on your own life. I strive to create a genuine, supportive relationship where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable showing up as your authentic self. I also recognize that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, so I incorporate different approaches and practical strategies based on your individual needs and goals.

Whether you’re working through a difficult transition, trying to better understand yourself, managing overwhelming emotions, or simply wanting someone in your corner, I’m here to meet you where you are. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to explore, grow, and move toward a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling to you.
