ADHD is my specialty!  I've been an ADHD coach for over a decade and I'm a licensed master social worker and addiction counselor.  I love helping adults discover ways of calming the chaos in their homes.  More often than not, we find that they've had ADHD this entire time and no one recognized it....until now.  Looking forward to meeting you!

Hi! I’m Heidi Womack, founder of Happy Horizons Therapy, PLLC.  I’ve been a Pediatric Occupational Therapist for 17 wonderful years and LOVE what I do. I firmly believe that every child has greatness and that they are capable of living their happiest, most fulfilling life. I am here to not only help your child achieve their developmental milestones, but to also be a new support system for you and your family.  My role with you and your child extends beyond the term “therapist” into that of coach, cheerleader, advocate, helper, and teacher.  My goal is for you to feel fully supported within the therapy experience, and for your child to feel successful in their ability to play, socialize, move, talk, eat, dress, write, and so much more!  For the children who struggle in one or more of these areas, and for the parents who might be frustrated or overwhelmed, I understand.  I have been in your shoes. I am here to help. You are not alone! I have specialized training to assist your child with deficits in the following areas: * Fine motor skills * Visual motor integration skills (eye-hand coordination) * Visual perceptual skills  * Gross motor/Motor development skills * Sensory Processing/Sensory Integration * Feeding difficulties * Autism/Pervasive Developmental Disorder * Developmental delays * Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s) * Strength/Endurance/Range of Motion * School Readiness skills (pre-writing, scissor skills) * Handwriting Remediation * Dyslexia * Bilateral coordination * Social Emotional Regulation * Infant Motor Development * Feeding Disorders/Picky Eating * Attention/Concentration/ADHD * Planning and organization

I am the owner and founder of Rowe Counseling Services and have been in mental health treatment for over 8 years. I am licensed in both Mississippi and Louisiana. I have experience working with all age groups. I apply various therapeutic approaches in my work including cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. I always take a client-centered approach and allow you to take the lead in your treatment while I simply act as your guide. Just as many other therapists do, I treat disorders such as depression and anxiety. My specialties however are trauma, dementia, and substance abuse (especially opioid abuse and the use of treatments such as Suboxone and other forms of buprenorphine). I also utilize somatic psychotherapy and sensorimotor psychotherapy for the treatment of trauma and attachment issues. Traditionally, many forms of therapy focus on the influence the mind has on the body. However, trauma is a body response. Somatic and sensorimotor psychotherapy addresses the body to improve the mind. Please, feel free to reach out for a brief consultation to learn more about more about my approaches, my services, and my fees. While I am self-pay only, I do assist with reimbursement for out-of-network benefits. I can quickly check for eligibility.

When stressful situations build up in our lives, problems can seem impossible to overcome. I utilize a collaborative and nonjudgmental approach to work towards creating a space where you can feel free to bring up any issue or concern. By providing security and consistency, I will strive to make a space where you are free to explore and build self-awareness about all the different parts of yourself. By examining the impact of life stressors, limiting beliefs and patterns, and our relationship with ourselves, we can uncover what may be preventing you from reconnecting to your natural and innate ability to create long-lasting healing. I have worked with individuals and families for over 10 years to help with issues such as the impact of chronic pain, anxiety, shame, self-doubt, fear, depression, anger, work stress, burnout, substance abuse, relationship stressors, family conflict, crisis and trauma.

Perhaps you are making it through the days, but each night you are feeling exhausted and emotionally drained. Or you find that the worries of your life keep you from being able to sleep, get things done, or just laugh the way you used to. Maybe you have just gotten used to feeling this way and wonder if it can even be different. Whether your struggles feel brand new, or they have been happening for quite a while- you do not have to face them alone. Therapy can offer a supportive space for you to learn and heal, reconnect with the small moments that matter, and discover the things that are meaningful and energizing for you. I especially enjoy working with clients who tend to push through their struggles and appear to get by most days, yet inside they feel worn down, overwhelmed, or unseen. They often feel that if they stop for just a moment things will fall apart, but they have a hard time telling others how they are feeling, asking for help, or taking a break for themselves. One of my passions is working with clients who are seeking therapy for the first time or have been looking to take this step for a while but haven't been sure how. If you want to talk more about what you are looking for or are feeling overwhelmed by the process of looking for a therapist, please don't hesitate to reach out to me for suggestions or referrals!
