Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 30 mi away • Metairie, LA


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

Dr. Deonka Winn

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.

I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.

Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.

I’m a client-centered therapist with more than 14 years of experience working as a mental health provider, addictions counselor, and group therapy facilitator. I work with adults and older teens who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, substance use, recovery, or major life transitions.

I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel uncomfortable or overwhelming, especially when life already feels heavy. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. I believe therapy works best when there is a genuine connection, and I strive to build that connection through honesty, compassion, and trust.

I’m passionate about helping people better understand themselves, develop healthier coping skills, and move toward lasting emotional wellness. Whether you are facing a difficult season, feeling stuck, or simply looking for support and guidance, I’m committed to helping you navigate those challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


Hello, thanks for stopping by. I’m here to offer a calm, compassionate space where you can finally start to feel understood. I know life can be complicated, especially when you're navigating Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, or Autism. My goal is to help you (or your child, age 5+) manage these challenges and discover a path toward feeling more at ease and confident.

What Makes Working With Me Different? My journey to becoming a counselor didn't start in an office; it started the day I was born. Growing up as one of eleven children, I was fortunate to have many siblings with special needs—including siblings with Autism, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and Learning Disabilities. This taught me something invaluable: true, deep patience, kindness, and compassion.

For over 20 years, I honed this understanding as both a High School Counselor and Special Education teacher.

Since I offer teletherapy only, you can start your journey to feeling better from the comfort of your own home. Our first session together is simple: it’s all about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you here, your goals, and what a "good day" looks like for you. It’s a low-pressure conversation where you can feel safe and heard.

Ready to Connect?

I truly care about helping you feel your best, and I’ve got the patience and experience to see you through it. If you’re ready to start finding that inner calm, I encourage you to reach out.

Schedule a session or schedule your FREE 15 minute Consultation.
