I chose Lori off a list from my insurance and it must have been divine guidance because she ended…read moreup being awesome. I have been to many counselors over the years and she was by far one of the best. She was clear and concise and helpful for the issues I was dealing with. I was able to work through problems verbally and she was able to give practical advice to me that were very easy to enact in my everyday life. I am so thankful to have found her I only needed about 6 session to work through the issues I was dealing with and I will keep her # handy for any refreshers necessary.

I have been a client of Family Focus for about six years now. I first saw Dr. Fargason when I was…read moreat a crisis point, and she managed to save my life with good medication management. She transferred me to NP Rhonda Browning, who is the best practitioner I could hope for, with her extensive knowledge of both psychiatric illness and the role played by hormones in that. (She is both a psychiatric and an OB/GYN nurse practitioner.) I have a chronic mental illness for which I will probably take medication for the rest of my life, and I will never willingly change to another provider. Family Focus is VERY CLEAR that they are private-pay only and do not file insurance. That was made clear to me even in the crisis I was having when I originally became a client. I am willing to pay out of pocket for the care I receive here. As far as charging for missed appointments, nearly EVERY mental health practitioner does the same. Don't give too much credence to the negative reviews by people who don't understand how their insurance coverage works.

Please save your time, money, and frustration and choose another psychiatric practice. Twice now I…read morehave been given appts for my daughter, taken off of work, only for them to cancel same day. There is no concern of the parents time or the child's time out of school. I went against my better judgement and tried to go back again and they did it to me again!! So here I am. Had to jump through hoops to get off work. Waited weeks for this appt only for them to cancel the appt 3 hours before we are to be there. Of course I will now have to wait weeks to find another provider. If you don't have a mental health issue you will have one after dealing with the crazy policies of this place!! Please please choose another office for your sanity.

We did not enjoy our couples sessions. After I decided I did not want to see her anymore, because I…read moredidn't agree with the advice she was giving us. We even left the place arguing after the first session. My Husband went back to her multiple times and altered the way he thought. He became MEAN, unreasonable, and just not the person who he was when we went in. I tried again with her and she refused to see us again as a couples even thought he agreed to it. It RUINED our relationship. We had to seek a new therapist to re-help us for our old issues and NEW ones. Thankfully the new one got us back on a great path to where I can understand him more and he can understand me more without us getting defensive. My husband and I started asking around about her and we aren't the first ones to experience this either. Now, she maybe some peoples style but she was not what we needed. Please do your research before booking.

We all have issues, and sometimes we need help, this is where Lisa steps in!…read moreLisa is one of the most caring and genuine people I have the pleasure of knowing in the New Orleans mental health field. She has been instrumental in helping a family member with several issues, including grief work, addiction recovery and setting future goals.
