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.”

β€” hopeful mom

Mental health parity in Louisiana

Louisiana enforces the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), which prohibits health insurers from imposing more restrictive limits on mental health benefits than on medical or surgical benefits. Louisiana also has a state mental health parity law (R.S. 22:1054) that requires state-regulated insurance plans to cover mental health services at parity. Louisiana Medicaid (Healthy Louisiana) covers behavioral health services. If your insurer denies mental health coverage that would have been allowed for a comparable medical service, you can appeal and file a complaint with the Louisiana Department of Insurance.

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.
  • If you're struggling β€” with your mood, your thoughts, your relationship, or just how you're coping β€” 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.
