Virtual therapy for Shreveport families
Shreveport sits in northwestern Louisiana, closer to Texas and Arkansas than to New Orleans — 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 — 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 — whether that's during pregnancy, in the first weeks after birth, or months later when things still haven't settled — is the most useful thing you can do.

What our clients say about their experience.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The anxiety didn't look like crying. It looked like researching every possible thing that could go wrong, canceling plans because I couldn't manage the variables, and snapping at my partner because I was running on adrenaline 24 hours a day. My therapist helped me name it and interrupt it. I feel like I got my brain back.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I couldn't put my son down without panicking. I'd check that he was breathing every few minutes through the night. My husband thought I was being a good mom — I knew something was wrong. My therapist helped me see the difference between vigilance and anxiety, and gave me tools to quiet the spiral. I sleep now. That alone changed everything.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“My 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.”

Common questions
- Postpartum anxiety often shows up as racing thoughts, constant worry about your baby's safety, an inability to relax, physical symptoms like a racing heart or shortness of breath, and feeling like something terrible is about to happen. It can be harder to recognize than postpartum depression because hypervigilance after having a baby can seem 'normal.'
- Postpartum anxiety affects roughly 15–20% of new mothers — making it actually more common than postpartum depression. It is also underdiagnosed because parents and providers may mistake heightened worry for normal new-parent behavior.
- Evidence-based treatments include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps interrupt catastrophic thinking cycles, and mindfulness-based approaches. In some cases, medication may be recommended alongside therapy. A PMH-C certified therapist can help design the right approach for you.
- Yes. Phoenix Health provides telehealth therapy to residents of Louisiana. Sessions are conducted via secure video from your home, office, or anywhere private — 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 — covering postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, birth trauma, and related conditions. It represents the gold standard of specialization in this field.
- If you're struggling — with your mood, your thoughts, your relationship, or just how you're coping — that's enough of a reason to talk to someone. You don't need a diagnosis. A free consultation is a low-commitment first step.
