Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about my practice.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) with more than 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve meaningful personal growth. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing my doctoral degree, further expanding my knowledge and commitment to providing effective, evidence-based care.

While I enjoy working with clients across the lifespan and provide counseling services for individuals ages 6 and older, I have a particular passion for supporting high school and college students. These years often bring significant transitions, academic pressures, identity development, relationship challenges, and questions about the future. I enjoy helping young people build resilience, increase self-confidence, and develop the skills needed to thrive both personally and academically.

Whether you are seeking support for stress, anxiety, life transitions, personal growth, relationship concerns, or other emotional challenges, my goal is to provide a collaborative therapeutic experience tailored to your individual needs.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, growth, and well-being.

With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I am deeply committed to helping individuals and families heal, grow, and reconnect with their strengths. My work is grounded in trauma-centered therapy, recognizing that many emotional and behavioral challenges are rooted in experiences that deserve compassion, understanding, and skilled support.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, and families, helping them navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and the impact of trauma. I believe therapy should be a safe space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to move forward with confidence.

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.
