Counseling Near Water Valley, Mississippi
Water Valley is the kind of town where people know your name, your truck, and probably your grandmother. That's one of the best things about it. It can also make it hard to walk into a counselor's office down the street. Covenant Counseling is about 20 miles north on Highway 7 in Oxford, usually about a half-hour drive. That's close enough to be easy and far enough to feel private.
Our office is at 2692 W Oxford Loop, Suite 108, in the first building behind Home Goods. Sessions are by appointment Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM, so early-morning and evening times are easier to fit around work and school.
Families and kids
Small-town families face the same pressures every family faces now: phones, screens, stress, and kids growing up faster than anyone would like. Bruce Thomas is a TBRI Certified Practitioner (Trust-Based Relational Intervention). He spent more than 30 years working with abandoned and abused children and their caregivers in Romania. He counsels children as young as 5, teens, and their parents. He uses a trauma-informed approach focused on connection, not just correcting behavior.
If your family is in crisis because a child or teen has been exposed to pornography or is struggling with compulsive behavior, you're not the first family to face this, and it doesn't have to define your child. Learn more about family counseling and teen recovery.
Marriages worth fighting for
Some couples come to us after a long season of drifting apart. Others come after a discovery that turned everything upside down. Bruce is EFT-trained, has Gottman Level 1 Certification, and is a RelateStrong facilitator. He helps couples slow down, understand the patterns they keep getting stuck in, and rebuild trust.
