2021 ANNUAL REPORT
Dear Friends,
Towards the end of 2020, four members of OCD Louisiana’s Board of Directors passed the torch along to new volunteers, resulting in a leadership team bringing us into 2021 with a wider range of perspectives on mental health and who represent additional regions of Louisiana. Our outgoing members, all based in the Greater New Orleans region, tirelessly worked with us from the very beginning and were each essential in bringing OCD Louisiana to fruition. We’d like to extend our deep appreciation to outgoing members Leslie C Higgins, PsyD (Vice President), Melissa Dufrene, PsyD (Secretary), Suzanne Chabaud, PhD (Board Member-at-Large), and Gail F Pesses, MSW, LCSW (Board Member-at-Large). Michele N Carroll, PsyD, who will move from her position as Treasurer to Vice President, and I (continuing in the role of President) are happy to welcome new members Caitlin Bussey, BS of Lafayette (Secretary), Chance McNeely of Baton Rouge (Treasurer), Ashley Rush, MA of Lafayette (Board Member-at-Large), and Ashley Royerre Talley, MS, CCC-SLP of Slidell (Board Member-at-Large), to the Board of Directors of OCD Louisiana.

You’re going to be investing your trust, time, and your mental health in the person you choose, so here are some things to consider before deciding on a provider.
