I am a clinical social worker currently in private practice with eight years of experience practicing therapy. I have a master's degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland and recently received a doctorate in Human Services with a specialization in Counseling through Capella University.
I have significant experience with working with people dealing with grief, addiction/recovery, trauma, relationships, self-esteem, and depression. I have worked with clients of all ages, races, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
I believe that therapy should be a thoughtful, collaborative exploration of the issues that face us as humans; a journey that aims to help us find and utilize the strengths that we possess which will guide us to happier, richer, more fulfilling lives. I bring a compassionate humanistic approach, using reflection, humor, and insight to help you grow, overcome, and prosper.
Additional areas of focus: Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Louisa Footman. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Louisa Freeman is by far the best, most down to earth counselor/therapist I've ever had. She knows when to encourage versus when to challenge. She talks in real language and responds to messages in a nice time frame. I think she's fabulous and feel very blessed to have her.
