About Dr. Erika Parker

WELCOME TO MY PRACTICE

I am Dr. Erika Parker, a dedicated psychiatrist deeply committed to providing compassionate and personalized care. With a diverse background shaped by my bi-cultural upbringing and fluency in two languages, I have a unique understanding of cultural differences that can impact mental health. My experiences living overseas have further enriched my perspective, allowing me to connect with patients from various walks of life.

I earned my medical degree from St. George's University in the Caribbean, where I cultivated a strong foundation in psychiatry. My residency at LSU in New Orleans honed my clinical skills, and I pursued a fellowship in forensics at LSU in Shreveport, integrating a specialized focus on the intersection of mental health and the law.

Throughout my journey, I have lived in vibrant cities such as New York, Southern England, and New Orleans, with a memorable semester abroad in Russia during my college years. These experiences have shaped my understanding of mental health issues in a global context.
