Stephanie Boudreaux, LPC, PMH-C

**Currently accepting new clients** Hi there, I'm Stephanie Boudreaux, and I’m a certified perinatal counselor and licensed professional counselor in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I have specialized training from Postpartum Support International and have completed advanced training from the Postpartum Stress Center. I’m a wife, sister, daughter, friend, and mom of two young children, and I know first-hand what it is like to struggle with a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (or PMAD for short). What helped me was properly processing my feelings with a perinatal professional, leading to my own recovery and my journey to helping other mothers. I believe mothers deserve care, attention, emotional support, and to find ways to enjoy motherhood. Counseling is a commitment you make to yourself, and it benefits those around you, too. Asking for help is a sign of courage and takes vulnerability. It is through that vulnerability that we can process the complex emotions of motherhood and real change can happen. I have counseled women with perinatal depression, anxiety, OCD, Bipolar and PTSD; pregnancy and/or birth complications and birth trauma, adjustment to motherhood, primary infertility, secondary infertility, miscarriage, perinatal loss, family and relationship issues, and parenting stress and concerns. I also understand the complexities of the NICU experience and healing from the mother wound or that of an emotionally immature parent or caregiver. I am currently accepting new clients (pregnancy and postpartum). I offer flexible scheduling and in-person and telehealth appointments. In addition to working with individuals, I facilitate group sessions for mothers who are struggling with a perinatal mood and/or anxiety disorder and can use understanding and validation from other moms. If you are wondering if counseling is right for you or if you’d like an appointment, please contact me. Let’s make sure this is the right decision for you and your family. You may contact me by phone (225) 427-5504 or by sending an email inquiry to sboudreauxlpc@gmail.com. I will get back to you within 24-48 hours.
