Services

Where would you like to start?

We offer therapy for adults, children, and marriages, faith based counseling for those who want it, and coaching. Every path starts the same way: a conversation about what is going on and what you want to be different.

Office hours

Open early, open late, open Saturdays.

Walk-ins are welcome during office hours. If you would rather be expected, call ahead and we will hold a time for you.

Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM
Saturday 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM
Sunday Closed
Getting started

Getting started takes three steps.

1

Reach out

Fill out the new client form, call us, or walk in during office hours. We will check your insurance and find a time.

2

Fill out your paperwork online

Intake forms, consents, and payment all live in the portal, so your first session can be spent talking instead of writing.

3

Come in, or log on

Meet us in the Picayune office or by secure video. The first visit is mostly listening: what's going on, and what you want to be different.

Take the first step.

Existing clients can book, message, and pay in the portal. If you're new, send us the short form and we will call you back.

New clients

Getting started is one phone call or one form.

We ask for four things: your name, your date of birth, your insurance, and a phone number. Then we verify your plan and offer you a time, usually within one business day.

Those details go through our client portal rather than this page, so they are protected the whole way. Choose whichever way is easiest for you.

Three ways to start
Pick whichever is easiest.
1
Request an appointment online

The client portal collects your name, date of birth and insurance over a secure connection and sends it straight to our schedulers. Most people are called back within one business day.

Open the client portal →
2
Call the office

Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Saturday, 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Ask for whatever you need, including whether we take your plan.

Walk in

No appointment needed. Come by during office hours and the front desk will get you started the same day when there is room.

Picayune, Mississippi · call for directions

We do not collect health information on this page. Your details travel through the client portal instead, which is built to protect them. Please do not send clinical details by email, and do not use this page in an emergency — call or text 988, or dial 911.
