Virtual therapy for Lafayette families

Lafayette is the heart of Cajun Country β€” a city with strong family ties, a deep culture, and a community identity built around togetherness. Those values can be a genuine source of support for new parents, and for many families in Lafayette they are. But community closeness can also make it harder to be honest about struggling, particularly in communities where strength and endurance are central to identity. Postpartum depression and anxiety don't exempt you because your family is close, or because you have a strong faith community, or because you've always been the capable one. For parents in Downtown Lafayette, Youngsville, Broussard, and Carencro, Phoenix Health provides telehealth therapy with sessions conducted via secure video from home. Our therapists hold PMH-C certification and specialize in perinatal mental health β€” the full range of what can go wrong or feel hard during pregnancy and after birth. Sessions are covered by major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, and UHC. You don't need to leave Lafayette for good specialized care, and you don't need to wait for a referral. Reaching out when something feels wrong is enough to start.

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.
