If you have been feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed by relationship or family conflict, or weighed down by grief, loss, or intimacy concerns, you do not have to carry it alone. For 35 years, I have helped people navigate these challenges, including military families facing active duty and retirement transitions. I also bring a strong sense of fairness that helps me connect with clients making sense of hurt and confusion.

I am a Faith Based (Catholic/Christian) License Professional Counselor. Certified in Trauma, Grief and Loss that loves working with Adolescents, Couples, Families and Individuals since 2004. I strongly believe that through our life our experiences may leave deep wounds that stop us from being loved by others and giving love to others. Through Therapy, one can begin to process these wounds, as a heart surgeon unclogs the arteries of the heart, and begin to feel like the loving individual that God created us to be and wants us to be

Soy una Licenciada de fe (católico/cristiano). Certificado en trauma, duelo y pérdida que le encanta trabajar con adolescentes, parejas, familias e individuos desde 2004. Creo firmemente que a través de nuestra vida nuestras experiencias pueden dejar heridas profundas que nos impediran ser amados por otros y dar amor a los demás

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Shreveport

Finding postpartum therapists in Shreveport starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity changes, and relationship strain. Some therapists also support concerns during pregnancy and the broader perinatal period. As you compare options, look for therapists who list postpartum, perinatal mental health, or maternal mental health in their specialties. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health care.

In a mid-size city like Shreveport, you may find a mix of local therapists and virtual options across the area. For new parents, practical details often matter as much as specialty. An unpredictable schedule, infant care, physical recovery, or returning to work can shape which therapist is a usable fit. Virtual appointments can make it easier to access postpartum support from home, while in-person sessions may work well if you prefer a dedicated office setting. Review therapist bios for details about scheduling, approach, and experience with postpartum concerns before you book.

Therapy in Shreveport can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. Many therapists on Headway accept insurance, and coverage depends on your plan and location. You can browse therapists, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
