Counseling for Pontotoc and Pontotoc County

Pontotoc sits right between Oxford and Tupelo on Highway 6. From Pontotoc, Covenant Counseling is about 35 miles west, usually around 45 minutes. Our office is at 2692 W Oxford Loop, Suite 108, in Oxford, in the first building behind Home Goods.

People in Pontotoc County value hard work, family, and faith, and they tend to handle problems on their own. That's a strength, until something comes along that won't stay handled. If that's where you are, we're glad you're looking.

Faith-integrated counseling, if you want it

Many Pontotoc clients ask whether counseling will respect their beliefs. It will. For clients who want their Christian faith included, Bruce Thomas offers Christian counseling that brings your faith into the conversation alongside evidence-based, trauma-informed care. For clients who'd rather keep faith out of it, that's respected too. Nobody gets a sermon they didn't ask for.

When secrets are tearing things apart

Bruce is a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), a Licensed Professional Counselor (Mississippi and Texas) and LMFT (Texas), with more than 25 years of experience. He helps:

  • Men and women working to break free from pornography or sex addiction. Learn about addiction recovery.
  • Spouses and partners dealing with the shock of betrayal. Betrayal trauma is real, and you deserve care of your own, not just a role in someone else's recovery.
  • Couples who want to rebuild. Bruce is EFT-trained, has Gottman Level 1 Certification, and is a RelateStrong facilitator.
  • Teens and families in crisis after a child's exposure to pornography or compulsive behavior.

Men's recovery groups

Recovery goes better with other people. Our men's recovery groups meet weekly for 90 minutes in Oxford. Men in them can be honest, get support, and help each other stay accountable. For men in Pontotoc, it's a short weekly drive that many find worth it. Read more about men's recovery.

In person or online

The Highway 6 drive is easy for weekly sessions. Some Pontotoc clients still prefer online counseling, especially farmers, shift workers, and parents juggling kids' schedules. Secure video sessions are available anywhere in Mississippi. Many clients do both, coming to Oxford for couples sessions or groups and meeting online in between.
