About Our Practice

A sanctuary for healing
in the heart of Natchitoches

Winter Haven Pro Counseling was founded on a simple conviction: that meaningful change is possible when clinical excellence meets genuine human connection. Located on Texas Street, our practice serves individuals, couples, and families across Northwest Louisiana who are seeking a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to mental health care.

Our clinicians hold advanced certifications in trauma therapy, EMDR, and evidence-based modalities for anxiety and depression. We believe treatment should be collaborative — you are the expert on your own experience, and we bring the clinical tools to help you move forward.

Our Approach

How we work together

A clear, structured path from your first call to lasting change.

01

Free Phone Consultation

Call us at (318) 238-8801 for a brief, no-obligation conversation. We'll discuss your concerns, answer questions, and help you determine if our practice is the right fit.

02

Initial Assessment

Your first session is a thorough intake where we learn your history, understand your goals, and begin forming a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

03

Active Treatment

Using evidence-based methods such as EMDR, CBT, or EFT depending on your presentation, we work together week to week toward measurable progress.

04

Growth & Closure

As your symptoms improve and coping skills strengthen, we gradually reduce session frequency and prepare you to maintain progress independently.

Client Voices

What our clients say

After years of struggling with anxiety, I finally felt like someone understood what I was going through. The EMDR sessions have genuinely changed my relationship with my past. I wish I had found this practice sooner.

Client Anxiety & Trauma

My spouse and I were on the verge of separation. The couples counseling here gave us tools we actually use every day. We're stronger now than we were before our crisis — and that's because of the patience and skill of our therapist.

Client Couples Therapy

The environment here feels safe from the moment you walk in. No rush, no judgment. They met me where I was and helped me build a foundation I can stand on. This practice is a true asset to Natchitoches.

Common Questions

Everything you need
to know before starting

We understand that beginning therapy is a big step. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.

We are in-network with several major insurance providers, including Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna. We also offer a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. Please call us to verify your specific plan before your first appointment.

Your first session is an intake assessment. We'll discuss your history, current concerns, and what you hope to achieve through counseling. It's also your opportunity to ask questions and determine if you feel comfortable with your therapist. There is no pressure — this is a conversation, not an interrogation.

Yes. We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions for clients who prefer the convenience of telehealth or live outside our immediate area. In-person appointments are also available at our Texas Street location.

Duration varies depending on your goals and the nature of your concerns. Some clients see meaningful improvement in 8–12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We regularly review your progress and adjust the plan collaboratively — you are always in control of the pace.

Absolutely. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our practice. Everything discussed in session is protected under federal privacy law (HIPAA). The only exceptions involve imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, or situations requiring mandatory reporting — which we will discuss openly during your first visit.

We are open Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Evening appointments are available by arrangement. We are closed on weekends and major holidays.
