Degan Dansereau, M.D.

As a former clinical director of Tulane's Counseling and Psychological Services and with over twenty years of experience as a psychiatrist, I have helped thousands of college students improve their mental health and thrive. I want my patients to get better as quickly and as safely as possible, so I maintain a private practice that focuses on providing personal, caring, and expert treatment of psychiatric illnesses. I am a board-certified psychiatrist by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and a Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. I have held various leadership and director positions in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

I am a New Orleans native and attended UCLA and Tulane for undergraduate studies in psychology and biology. I attended LSU-New Orleans for medical school and attended Tulane for my residency in psychiatry, where I served as Chief Resident. I feel privileged to serve the community in which I was raised and now live.

I have received additional training at both Duke University Medical Center (2017) and Harvard Medical School (2024) in TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation). TMS is a non-medication FDA-cleared treatment for both treatment-resistant depression and OCD. I currently serve as an adjunct Assistant Professor in the Tulane Department of Psychiatry.
