Getting to know Wanakee Smith

Hi! My name is Wanakee and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Louisiana. I have experience working with children, adolescents and young adults. I was also a school counselor for nine years so I have experience with ADHD, anger management and self-esteem issues. I have also worked with those diagnosed with serious mental illnesses. I have a firm belief that I need to meet clients where they are. I learn from my clients just like they learn from me. Therapy is not a quick fix but a journey into healing. Let's work together to help build a more functional life. I look forward to speaking with you

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
