Behavioral Health and Mental Health Services

Most people experience stress, anxiety, or emotional unrest in one form or another at some point in their lives. But when these feelings persist or get in the way of life, it’s important to seek help. NOELA CHC offers various behavioral health and mental health services to the New Orleans East community and surrounding areas. Together, these services address mental illnesses as well as substance abuse disorders, other addictions, and relationship issues such as developing, strengthening, and sustaining well-balanced families and family relationships. Through prevention and intervention techniques, we can support the psychological well-being of our patients.

Counseling

Our counseling services help patients with various issues, spanning from mental health and wellness to career goals. These services are best suited for patients seeking the help of professionals to overcome specific obstacles in their lives. We pair each patient with a health provider who works with them to:

In many cases, patients can use what they learn in counseling to manage or resolve current issues and maintain better mental health moving forward.

Stress Management

Patients who find that stress interferes with their ability to live life normally can benefit from stress management. When someone experiences an unhealthy amount of stress, they may struggle to cope with their usual activities, tasks, and responsibilities, making it difficult for them to experience happiness. Often, this stress stems from a mental illness, physical condition, or experience in the patient’s life, such as:

Depression or anxiety
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Loss of a loved one
Chronic or severe illness, disability, or pain
Financial issues

Anyone who feels overwhelmed by stress can take advantage of our stress management services. We teach patients techniques for dealing with stress and reclaiming control over their lives.
