Drawing on experience across inpatient, community, and school-based settings, she brings compassionate, evidence-based care to patients navigating [anxiety](https://terrebonnepsychology.com/anxiety-therapy-in-new-orleans/), depression, ADHD, OCD, grief, trauma, and select mood disorders. Dr. Legeaux earned her Doctorate of Nursing Practice from Southern University and A&M College and currently serves as an Associate Professor at Loyola University of New Orleans, where she teaches mental health to baccalaureate nursing students. Her clinical background spans some of the most demanding and meaningful environments in psychiatric care — including the Manning Family Children’s Behavioral Health Unit, the Center for Resilience behavioral health therapeutic day treatment program, and specialized behavioral health services within the Orleans Parish school system. At The Terrebonne Group, Dr. Legeaux practices within an integrated care model, working closely alongside our psychologists and licensed clinical social worker to ensure that [medication](https://terrebonnepsychology.com/psychiatric-medication-management/) management and psychotherapy are coordinated around each patient’s full picture — not treated as separate services. She believes that the best psychiatric care is built on genuine relationship, careful listening, and treatment plans that evolve alongside the people they serve. ### Therapeutic Approach Dr. Legeaux’s approach to [psychiatric medication management](https://terrebonnepsychology.com/psychiatric-medication-management/) is patient-centered, collaborative, and deeply attentive to the individuality of each person she treats. Much like the diverse spirit of New Orleans itself, she recognizes that no two patients arrive with the same story, the same history, or the same path forward — and she tailors her care accordingly. Her work is guided by several core commitments: - **Relationship First:** Dr. Legeaux prioritizes building trusting, supportive relationships with her patients and their families. She believes that feeling genuinely known by your prescriber is not a luxury — it is the foundation of effective psychiatric care. - **Individualized Treatment:** Every treatment plan is developed collaboratively, reflecting the patient’s unique needs, goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Dr. Legeaux does not apply a one-size-fits-all protocol — she listens, evaluates, and adapts. - **Family Involvement:** When appropriate, Dr. Legeaux actively supports families as partners in the treatment process, recognizing that recovery and resilience are rarely achieved in isolation. - **Integrated Care:** Working within The Terrebonne Group’s collaborative model, Dr. Legeaux coordinates directly with our [therapy](https://terrebonnepsychology.com/) team to ensure that [medication](https://terrebonnepsychology.com/psychiatric-medication-management/) and psychotherapy reinforce rather than operate independently of each other. - **Evidence-Based Practice:** All prescribing decisions are grounded in current clinical research and best practices in psychiatric [medication](https://terrebonnepsychology.com/psychiatric-medication-management/) management, balanced with careful attention to each patient’s individual response over time. ### Education & Training **Doctoral Degree** Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Southern University and A&M College **Certification** Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) ### Professional Experience **Current Positions:** - Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, The Terrebonne Group - Associate Professor, Loyola University of New Orleans **Previous Experience:** - Manning Family Children’s Behavioral Health Unit - Center for Resilience — Behavioral Health Therapeutic Day Treatment Program - Specialized behavioral health services, Orleans Parish school system ### Licensure & Credentials **Professional License:** - Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), State of Louisiana - Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) ## Areas of Expertise Dr. Legeaux provides [psychiatric medication management](https://terrebonnepsychology.com/psychiatric-medication-management/) for: **Children & Adolescents** • ADHD and attention difficulties • [Anxiety](https://terrebonnepsychology.com/anxiety-therapy-in-new-orleans/) and stress • Depression and mood concerns • OCD and obsessive-compulsive symptoms • Trauma and PTSD • Grief and loss • Behavioral and emotional concerns **Adults** • [Anxiety](https://terrebonnepsychology.com/anxiety-therapy-in-new-orleans/) and stress • Depression and mood disorders ADHD • OCD • Trauma and PTSD • Grief and loss • Life transitions and adjustment ### Fees Initial Consultation: $275 Follow-Up Appointments: $75–$150 depending on the length of the visit Please note: The Terrebonne Group is a private pay, out-of-network practice.
