Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Red Bay, AL

My name is Chardonney Washington, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Gadsden, Alabama, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with individuals 14-99 and specialize in grief, stress, and mood disorders, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy to help my clients make progress toward their healing journey. I have found that being my true authentic self helps others to be able to do the same. I consider myself a people's person. I don't believe we have to fit into a "textbook" image in order to thrive.

I began human service work in 1986 after receiving my Bachelor of Science degree in Counseling from the University of Montevallo, located in Montevallo, Alabama. I received my Master of Education in Counseling from the University of Montevallo in 1994. I became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2001. I am currently licensed in Alabama and Georgia (inactive at present in Georgia) and am a board-certified supervisor for those wishing to become licensed counselors. A hurtful past cannot change, but moving through fear and hurt leads to acceptance, and then peace becomes evident.

Life brings a variety of experiences that make us human. Over time, we may believe that what happens to us is a direct reflection of our worth. It is my goal as a therapist to meet my clients with compassion and acceptance to learn that while our most difficult experiences make us human, they do not define us. You are capable and deserving of change and I would love to walk with you through this journey toward a healthier life!

Has life been feeling extremely difficult? Are you suffering from persistent negative self-talk and needing help to cope? I applaud you for taking steps to reach out for help. I have worked with individuals who struggled with a wide range of issues. I view therapy as a collaborative and interactive process striving for positive changes in troubled areas. I provide a safe, non-judgmental place where you can be heard and work towards the path of your healing and personal growth. My expertise includes sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, self-harm, addiction, psychosis, abandonment and the obstacles children face from foster care.

My name is Katrina Freeman and I am an Alabama state licensed counselor and clinical supervisor for associate-level counselors. She has over 30 years of experience in the mental health and substance abuse counseling fields. I have an acceptance-based, client-centered approach to therapy. My passion is helping clients find balance and wellness in their lives.

Anxiety and depression can make us feel stuck, but there is hope. Stress feels overwhelming, but this too shall pass. Relationship challenges can feel like the end of the world, but you can overcome. I want to help you get better and reclaim your strength. Often people are intimidated by the thought of going to see a therapist. Therapy doesn’t have to be painful, it is a process to having a better understanding of yourself.

Are you feeling lost, stuck, or unfulfilled? Find yourself escaping into repetitive and self-defeating patterns of thought and behavior? If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, phase of life issues, problems with self-confidence or motivation, problematic alcohol or substance use, or just recognize that you may benefit from a supportive conversation with someone outside of your typical network of friends and family members, I would love to talk to you. My hope is that we can work together to help you create a life that you do not feel the need to escape from!

As a Clinician, I prefer a warm and inviting counseling style. I believe that each client should be met where he or she is currently, and supported to where they are trying to go. My approach to psychotherapy combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-focused therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I believe that each client will benefit from an eclectic therapeutic approach which is tailored to the intricacies of their life and psychological makeup.

I am dedicated to helping clients learn to live with grief, loss and other life transitions. In a world that tells us grieving is a problem that needs to be fixed, I offer a different perspective. If you have experienced an overwhelming life change, you don't need platitudes. Instead, I provide acknowledgement and support as you adjust to your new reality. I also specialize in working with parents raising children with disabilities. Many parents find it impossible to care for themselves. As a parent of a child with disabilities, I understand the unique challenges that you and your child face.

Are you a busy teenager or professional struggling to balance the demands of your life? Are you a mother or father who would love to receive clinical support after you put the kids down for bed? There is hope! I have made it my personal mission to make quality clinical care convenient for you.

Does your neurodivergent brain struggle to deal with the non-neurodivergent world? Are you struggling with a daily slog through exhaustion? Or with finding friendships and relationships? Maybe you have such high anxiety that the idea of talking to anyone is overwhelming? If you have ADHD you might not be able to keep up with chores at home. If you have Autism maybe you are consumed by making sure everything is ‘just so’. And if you have both (AuDHD) you might just feel paralyzed. Having a diagnosis or suspecting you are neurodivergent can be helpful, but may also raise so many questions you’re not sure where to start.

My greatest desire is that each of my clients learn through the process of therapy how to walk in freedom. Freedom from depression, anxiety and present and past issues. I believe that we are a product of our past but that healing begins when we explore that past and begin to write a new story, a healing narrative. It is my belief that a productive therapeuitc relationship begins by providing a safe place, free of judgement and full of grace for the process and ourselves.

I am licensed in Alabama and Texas. I enjoy working with people in times of transition such as ages and stages of life. I aim to be an affirmative space for identity formation. I want my clients to find self acceptance, direction and practical solutions. My practice can best be described as compassionate, engaged, enthusiastic, creative, and enriched with some laughter and hope.

I have committed myself to being a knowledgeable and competent professional equipped to help a wide spectrum of clients from all walks of life who may have an equally wide range of needs. I believe you are the expert of your story, and you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming the things that challenge you, cause you distress, or make you feel “stuck”. I am trained in a variety of treatment modalities to fit your needs so my approach is very client-centered; what may work for one individual may not work for the next even if there are similar diagnosis or challenges. I welcome the opportunity to work with you!
