Counseling for Batesville and Panola County

If you live in Batesville, Oxford is probably already part of your week. Maybe you come over for work, a game, shopping, or a doctor's appointment. Covenant Counseling is about 25 miles east on Highway 6, usually around a half-hour drive, at 2692 W Oxford Loop, Suite 108. We're in the first building behind Home Goods.

For a lot of Batesville clients, that short drive is a plus. You get some distance from home, a private place to talk, and a few quiet minutes on the road to think before and after a session.

Help for the things that are hard to say out loud

Many people who call us have been carrying something alone for a long time. Bruce Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (Mississippi and Texas) and LMFT (Texas), and a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT). He has more than 25 years of experience with adults, couples, and families. We work with:

  • Pornography and sex addiction recovery for adults, college students, couples, and teens and families in crisis. Learn more about our addiction recovery counseling.
  • Betrayal trauma for partners who have discovered a spouse's secret life and are trying to get their footing back. See betrayal trauma counseling.
  • Men's recovery groups, which meet weekly for 90 minutes, for men who are tired of fighting this alone. Read about men's recovery.
  • Marriage and couples counseling from an EFT-trained counselor with Gottman Level 1 Certification.

For students and young adults

Batesville is home to Northwest Mississippi Community College's Batesville location, The Concourse. Many young adults here also commute to Ole Miss or to Northwest's other campuses. College can be when struggles with pornography, anxiety, or relationships really come to the surface. We see college students regularly, and we treat them with respect and without shame.

In person or online

Plenty of Batesville clients come to Oxford for sessions, especially couples and anyone joining a men's group. If your schedule is tight, online counseling is also an option. It's secure video counseling from anywhere in Mississippi, and it works well for many individual sessions and check-ins between in-person visits. You can mix the two.

Faith, if you want it

Some clients want their Christian faith to be part of counseling, and some don't. Either is welcome here. If you want faith included, we'll include it. If you don't, we won't push it.
