Independence for Students
Peace of Mind for Parents
What is Crescent City Connections?
Crescent City Connections is your personal navigator for the mental health community in New Orleans. With over 15 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I draw on deep local knowledge and real community relationships to connect students and families with the right support, whether that means finding the right therapist, psychiatrist, or helping a student build the skills to manage college life on their own terms.
That includes connecting a student to mental health care, academic support, or executive functioning coaching, such as working with students on organization, time management, routines, self-advocacy, and the kind of independence that sticks. The goal is always the same: save families the research time, and help students build lasting confidence.
How it Works
We start with a conversation, with the student, a family member, or both, either in person or virtually, to understand what kind of support is actually needed. From there, you receive a curated list of local providers who are the right fit, not just whoever has availability, drawn from deep knowledge of New Orleans resources built over years of living and working in the city.
Connections to Trusted Resources
Flexible Engagement
Peace of Mind
If your student needs a doctor, therapist or psychiatrist, I connect them with vetted providers who are actually taking new patients. If they need academic support or executive functioning coaching, I connect them with skilled professionals who know how to work with college students.
A single focused session or a session with follow-up — you choose what fits. Either way, you get a personalized plan and direct access to my network of trusted New Orleans providers.
Parents know someone local is in their student's corner. Students get the support they need without feeling like a problem to be managed from afar.
I’ve known Aden for many years as both a trusted colleague and friend, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She has a wealth of experience working with young adults and families and is incredibly well connected within the New Orleans community. Aden has a gift for understanding what someone needs and knowing who or what might be the right fit. She is warm, knowledgeable, resourceful, and genuinely invested in helping college students navigate being away from home for the first time, while also providing invaluable peace of mind to their parents.
