Community Mental Health Resources
There are many different mental health services available in the greater New Orleans area, but navigating the options can often be overwhelming. Please see below for information related to finding an appropriate mental health professional, as well as sliding-scale providers, human services authorities, phone/text support lines, and resources for specific populations or concerns. Please note that I am not affiliated with any of these authors, programs, or organizations and I have not been paid to recommend them here. I also do not accept solicitations from resources to be featured on this page.
