Ann Bevan, LA LCSW 3961

Hello and welcome! My name is Ann Bevan and I am a licensed clinical social worker here in Louisiana. I completed my graduate training at Tulane where I earned a Master's Degree in Social Work. I have worked for more than 20 years in the field in several different capacities. Over that period of time, I have met with and supported people facing medical challenges, loss, grief, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.

I have been described as being a good listener, one who is compassionate, understanding, patient, and respectful. My goal is to provide a safe space where individuals can talk about any topic that is weighing on their hearts or minds. I strive to help individuals move through their challenging times or issues in order to gain a better understanding of themselves, others, and the world.

Over the past 4 years, I have been training in Internal Family Systems, a model that has been found to address and ameliorate a number of issues including anxiety, fear, depressed mood, low self esteem and developmental trauma. I have taken a number of courses through the IFS Institute and am now Level 1 certified. If you are interested in learning more about this type of therapy, which is often referred to as "parts work", you can see interviews and demos on you tube with the developer, Dr. Richard Schwartz.

Congratulations for reaching out. Should you decide to make an appointment, it will be a privilege to accompany you on your journey.
