About Drauzin Kern

As a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist in Louisiana, I have thirty-eight years of clinical and behavioral healthcare experience; having assisted, guided and supported hundreds of individuals, couples and families through extraordinarily complex life transitions and emotional challenges.

My practice centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space for clients navigating diverse experiences, including LGBTQ+journeys, relationship dynamics, communication skill development, personal growth, and healing from trauma.

I bring deep expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and interpersonal dynamics. My approach is holistic and person-centered, focusing on helping clients develop self-understanding, improve communication, and cultivate meaningful connections.

Whether you’re experiencing isolation, exploring identity, or working through life stage transitions, I offer supportive guidance tailored to your unique needs.

My therapeutic work spans a wide range of focus areas, from young adult challenges to midlife transitions, sexual health, caregiver stress, and veterans’ experiences. I’m committed to providing a non-judgmental, inclusive environment where individuals can explore their emotions, build resilience, and move toward greater personal empowerment.

“Droze is awesome. He's very patient walking me through on what I'm going through and recommends actionable steps to address them.”

“Drauzin is fantastic about getting your trust and confidence right away before moving forward. He is very keen on making sure he is the right fit for you. <br /> He’s been an absolute pleasure to work with.”

“Very knowledgeable and helpful in many different areas of therapy I would recommend him to anyone new to therapy as I am.”

“He is truly the best!”

“As a guy seeking therapy for the first time. I was reluctant to talk to anyone. I must say that Drauzin was a great help who listens from a place of compassion and empathy. He was able to help me through all my therapy goals and I would recommend him for anyone that needs help from a Therapist. He definitely will push you out of your comfort zone if needed in order to get to the root of the issue! I know I will use his services again in the future should the need arise.”

“Excellent therapist! Very positive and helpful!”

“I have greatly enjoyed working with Drauzin, he's is empathetic and will always meet you at your level.”

“Been working with Droze for over a year. He's my first therapist, and I honestly could not have asked for a better therapist. It feels like I have a very helpful friend in Droze. That's how comforting he is. He ensures you feel safe and is always welcoming. Very delightful to talk to. He's been really helpful on my journey to better manage my mental health. I am very appreciative of his time and help.”

“Droze continuously met me where I was at throughout the course of our time working together. He made me feel safe, understood, and has given me tools I will carry with me for probably my entire life forward. I feel truly fortunate to have had him as a therapist and he was a joy to speak with every session.”

“Drauzin is a wonderful therapist; he’s very experienced and knows what he’s talking about. I made a lot of progress with him and I highly recommend him. He will help probe deeper into your problems. Don’t be afraid to speak up during your sessions with him; remember he is here to help you and guide you in your journey, whatever that may be. Trust your gut!”

“Drauzin has been a great counsellor (so far, I'm not ceasing lessons). I am looking forward to continuing sessions with him. I would recommend him to anyone, and find his approach to therapy and general attitude refreshing.”

“T.E. <br /> Mr. Drauzin Kern is without a doubt the best therapist I have ever spoken too. You feel safe talking to him and you can trust him entirely. As a veteran of the armed services this is the man you want.”

“This is probably the best therapist you will ever work with. He has helped us through many troubles and continues to be a helping hand in our life. The best therapist out there hands down.”

“Droze is a wonderful resource- every time I talk to him I feel heard and supported. I feel so lucky to have been matched up with him”

“I like that Drauzin takes the time to make sure I understand the purpose of what we're doing in therapy so I can take ownership and shape the experience for myself and my needs. For example, in addition to talking in video calls, he also sends me articles that further explain what we're doing in therapy. He also checks in with me regularly to see if we need to adjust things to fit what I need. He is very warm and open about experiences that relate to mine, so I feel like I'm talking to a real human being.”
