Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in 35601

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. I believe they need a safe space with non-judgmental and unconditional acceptance. I am an Associate Licensed Counselor working under the supervision of Kathryn M. Cox, LPC-S. I graduated from the University of South Alabama and have begun practicing client centered, non-judgmental counseling via telehealth, where I strive to make people feel safe, respected, seen and heard. Only then can real healing begin.

Counseling can be an unsettling idea, but what it should be is a collaborative process in which client and therapist set goals and make plans to achieve those goals. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working with adolescents and adults to achieve a myriad of goals and resolve personal or interpersonal issues. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques so that whatever we are doing fits the needs of the client and helps them along their path to wholeness and mental health.

Step into a warm and welcoming space where your story finds a home, your experiences are valued, and your path to healing is illuminated. In my counseling practice, I strive to create a safe haven—a place where you can openly share your deepest thoughts and feelings, knowing you'll be met with empathy and respect. I believe in the power of your narrative and your innate wisdom to guide the therapeutic journey. Together, we'll embark on a collaborative exploration, integrating tailored strategies from various evidence-based approaches to address your unique needs and goals.

Are you tired of living the same day, with the same issues and frustrations over and over again? Have you tried everything, but nothing has worked? Are you afraid your past may be hindering your ability to parent well, love well, or move forward? If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, seeing a professional counselor may help. At Grand Oaks Counseling you will find a therapist who will listen without judgment and create a safe place to process your concerns. We will treat you as an individual and help you better understand yourself, your world and others, as well as how all this is connected to your current struggles.

Seeking help is not always easy. Many people grew up under the assumption that emotions and feelings are not outwardly discussed or displayed; others, have recognized the stigma that surrounds mental health issues. Fear of being labeled as mentally ill, may cause a negative impact on personal and professional goals; which is a common misconception in modern society. Such unhealthy thought patterns have led to ongoing, systemic problems in today's general populous. Courage to seek help is the first step to change. Change allows a fresh start and a different perspective on life.

Hello! My name is Julie Wilson and I am excited to be your counselor and guide you to become who you want to be. People seeking help with improving self-esteem, with relationships, and with regaining control may consider me as a counselor. People who struggle with trauma, whether from recent events or from childhood, can expect to work with me on overcoming this together. I help children, adolescents, and adults work through grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other concerns that affect their relationships and self-esteem.

Things my clients often say: "I didn't think my problems were big enough for therapy ...I thought I just needed to try harder ...I had no idea talking to someone would help this much!" Therapy is not just for those with severe mental illness. Therapy is for the overwhelmed mom, still trying to recover from her own wounds. Therapy is for the person who "has it all", but is secretly sad most days. Therapy is for the high-achiever who battles anxiety and fears failure from the moment he opens his eyes. Therapy is for the couple who love each other but don't love their marriage.
