If you currently have UnitedHealthcare Medicaid, please be aware that after March 31, 2026, UnitedHealthcare’s contract with the State of Louisiana will end. At that time, your plan will no longer be active and you will be automatically transferred to another Medicaid plan.

You also have the option to contact Medicaid directly if there is a specific Medicaid plan you would prefer to switch to.

Please keep in mind that many providers only accept certain Medicaid plans, so it’s important to confirm that your current providers accept the plan you choose to avoid any interruptions in care.

LDH will extend its Medicaid managed care contract with UnitedHealthcare (UHC) for 90 days. The contract will continue through March 31, 2026.

Members currently enrolled with UHC will remain with that plan during this period and will not be reassigned to a new health plan on January 1, 2026. No action is required by members at this time.

You are more than your productivity.
You are more than your body.

If food, body image, or negative self-talk is impacting your peace, therapy can help you move toward balance and self-compassion.

Emily is able to assist you.

If you’ve ever said:

“I know something needs to change, I just don’t know how.”

“I’m tired of feeling stuck in the same patterns.”

“I want therapy that actually makes sense and helps me move forward.”

Rachel might be a great fit for you.

She creates a judgment-free space where you can show up as yourself and walk away with real clarity and actionable steps. No stiff conversations. No confusing jargon. Just honest dialogue, support, and solutions that meet you where you are.

As we wrap up this year, so many people are quietly carrying more than they talk about. The end of the year brings reflection and for many, it brings pressure, grief, anxiety, loneliness, and unfinished emotional business.

And when the holidays hit, everything you’ve been avoiding or holding together all year can feel heavier.

If this season has you feeling:

Emotionally drained
Overwhelmed trying to “keep it together”
Stressed about family dynamics
Lonely even around people
Grieving someone or something you lost
Tired of pretending you’re okay
Ready for next year to look and feel different

…therapy can meet you right where you are.

At Healing Journey Counseling Center, our partnered therapists Anastassia, Emily, and Rachel are here to support you as you close out this year and step into a healthier one.

Happy Thanksgiving from Healing Journey Counseling Center!

A lot of us walk around thinking we’re “tripping,” “too sensitive,” or “doing too much” when really it’s anxiety showing up in ways we don’t recognize.

Here are some signs of anxiety people don’t always identify as anxiety:
Irritation or snapping quickly
Feeling exhausted even after sleeping
Avoiding calls, texts, or making plans
Overthinking small decision
Hyper-independence — not wanting to ask for helps

One of the most powerful things therapy does is help you see the negative patterns you’ve been repeating without realizing it.

It can be patterns in how you communicate, what you choose, what you tolerate, people pleasing, or self-sabotage.

Patterns do not define you but understanding them can change your life.

A lot of us think we have boundaries but what we really have are reactions, defense mechanisms, or people-pleasing patterns we learned to keep the peace.

Healthy boundaries create safety.
Unhealthy boundaries create distance.

One of the hardest thing for some people is to admit that they are not okay. Honestly, it's okay to not be okay.

This time of the year can bring up so many emotions: grief, loneliness, anxiety, or the pressure to be “happy” when you’re barely holding it together.

You don’t have to hide how you feel or push through it alone. We understand that this season can be heavy, and we’re here to help you carry some of that weight.

We have in-person & telehealth sessions available.

You can even schedule easily online at healingjourneycc.com

Many people don’t realize how common it is to use food as a coping skill.

We eat to manage stress.
We eat to escape pain.
We eat to feel something when life feels numb.

And sometimes we restrict food for the same reason which is to feel in control when everything else feels out of control.

At Healing Journey Counseling Center, we help you explore the why behind your relationship with food without shame, judgment, or pressure. Because we know it’s not really about food, it’s about what you’re feeling underneath it all. 🤍
