Mental Health in Louisiana: The Crisis We Face

Louisiana currently ranks among the worst states for mental health outcomes.


 A 2025 report listed it as second-worst in the nation, with nearly one in three adults reporting binge drinking and one in eleven reporting severe anxiety or depression. Alarmingly, over 15 out of every 100,000 Louisianans die by suicide—exceeding the national average. With rising rates of substance use and mental distress, the mental health landscape in Louisiana is in urgent need of attention.

Barriers to Mental Health Access

Access to mental health care remains a significant challenge across Louisiana. Over 3.6 million residents live in areas with a shortage of mental health professionals. Nearly half of adults report frequent mental distress, and youth mental health access is even worse—more than 60% of adolescents with depression receive no treatment. Stigma, poverty, and a lack of resources in rural areas continue to limit options for many. Bold solutions like telehealth, funding reform, and community outreach are essential.

We're Showing Up Where It Matters Most

At Creative Counseling and Wellness, we understand the reality: Louisiana is in the middle of a mental health crisis. But we also believe in solutions—and we’re committed to being part of the change. With skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, substance use, and limited access to care across the state, our mission is simple but urgent: to provide accessible, compassionate, and competent mental health support to those who need it most.


Our clinical team is made up of licensed professionals who bring expertise, empathy, and cultural understanding to every session. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, or simply feeling stuck, we’re here to help you find clarity and healing—without the long waitlists, red tape, or judgment. We offer virtual therapy across Louisiana and all 50 states, so no matter where you are, care can come to you.


We’re not a corporate counseling factory. We’re real people who care deeply about helping you reclaim your peace, your voice, and your life. In a state where nearly 50% of adults experience frequent mental distress—and where too many go untreated—we are committed to doing things differently. Our work is grounded in evidence-based practices, trauma-informed care, and a deep belief in your capacity to grow and heal.


Let’s change the story together. If you're ready to begin—or begin again—our team is here to walk with you.
