Why families choose Strawberry Patch

  • Mind and body, equally.

    Mental health is health. We treat them in the same building, by a team that talks to each other.

  • Sliding fee, no one turned away.

    Our sliding fee scale is based on family size and income. Cost should never be the reason care doesn't happen.

  • All major insurance, accepted.

    BCBS, Aetna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Louisiana Medicaid — and more. Don't see yours? Call us.

  • Local, accredited, built around you.

    Exemplary Provider Accreditation from The Compliance Team. Forty-eight years of combined experience. One clinic in the heart of Ponchatoula.

Some things are easier when you're not the only one in the room.

Our therapy groups bring people together around shared experiences — not labels. Whether you're a kid learning how to make friends, a parent finding your footing after birth, or an adult walking through loss, you'll find a circle here.

Pediatric Social Skills Group

For kids and teens learning to connect, communicate, and feel confident in social settings. Run in age-appropriate cohorts.

Grief Support Group (Adults)

A guided space for adults working through the loss of a loved one — at any stage of grief, and with no right timeline.

Postpartum Support Group

For new mothers navigating the emotional weight of those first months. You're not failing. You're not alone.
