Virtual therapy for Shreveport families

Shreveport sits in northwestern Louisiana, closer to Texas and Arkansas than to New Orleans β€” a city with its own identity that has historically been underserved when it comes to specialized mental health care. For new parents in Broadmoor, South Highlands, Bossier City, and Haughton, accessing a therapist who specializes in perinatal mental health has meant either driving significant distances or doing without. Barksdale Air Force Base is nearby, which means a meaningful share of Shreveport area families are military families managing the unique pressures of parenthood in a transient community β€” deployments, moves, and the need to start over socially every few years. Phoenix Health provides telehealth therapy to families throughout the Shreveport-Bossier area, including both military and civilian parents. Sessions are conducted via secure video from home, and our therapists hold PMH-C certification in perinatal mental health. You don't need to drive to Baton Rouge or Dallas to get specialized postpartum care. Reaching out when you're struggling β€” whether that's during pregnancy, in the first weeks after birth, or months later when things still haven't settled β€” is the most useful thing you can do.

What our clients say about their experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

β€œMy emergency C-section left me with nightmares and panic attacks. I couldn't talk about the birth without shaking. Therapy helped me process the trauma and reclaim my story. I'm pregnant again now, and I actually feel ready.”

β€” expecting mom of 1

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

β€œI had intrusive thoughts that terrified me. I was too ashamed to tell anyone, even my partner. My therapist explained postpartum OCD and helped me understand I wasn't dangerous. The intrusive thoughts are 90% gone now. I wish I'd reached out sooner.”

β€” mom of 2

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

β€œAfter three failed IVF rounds, I was told to 'just stay positive.' My therapist was the first person who acknowledged the grief, the anger, and the exhaustion β€” and helped me process what I'd been through. I finally felt seen.”

Common questions

  • Yes. Phoenix Health provides telehealth therapy to residents of Louisiana. Sessions are conducted via secure video from your home, office, or anywhere private β€” no commute required. All Phoenix Health therapists are licensed and authorized to practice in Louisiana.
  • PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification) is awarded by Postpartum Support International (PSI) to clinicians who have completed advanced training in perinatal mental health β€” covering postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, birth trauma, and related conditions. It represents the gold standard of specialization in this field.
