"Weekend and after-hour appointments. Anxiety, depressed feelings, marital, family/relationship issues, grief and loss, spiritual, substance abuse. Adults and teenagers."

"Do you ever feel that you are alone and that the negative thoughts have taken over? Do you ever feel that you are not where you think you should be in life? We all struggle with negative thinking and need an outside party to help overcome the hurdles that are present. Life tends to throw curve balls especially when you think that things are going well. I like to work with my clients to help them to overcome the negative feelings that are present and work with them individually to develop a plan that works best for you. I like to get to know my clients and treat them as people and not just the symptoms present."

"I believe that from the day we are born, to the day we die, we come to know ourselves in and through our most intimate relationships. Hopefully these relationships are life giving, whether they are with our parents, our siblings or our significant partners. However, when we have to struggle to find support and comfort from our loved ones, life can become frustrating and hopeless. As both a Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am trained to offer my clients the most comprehensive counseling practice available to help them improve their most intimate relationships."

"I really enjoy working with all types of clients - all ages and all issues. From grade school children to older adults - I work with individuals and their families to help everyone get through life's trials and tribulations in the best way we can - together. Whether it's a mood/anxiety disorder, family/relationship conflict, school or behavioral issue, trauma issue, job stress, major life change, or just finding yourself having trouble handling some stress - I know I can help my clients get to a better place."

"Are you struggling with addiction, or loving someone that is? Are you worn out from the chaos, frustration and despair of it all? Those long frustrating days of despair and isolation do not have to be a death sentence. There is help and hope available!

"Have you been overwhelmed with anxiety, depression, fear, life stressors, or life transitions? Are you looking for someone to support you and help you navigate these issues to find answers and solutions? Therapy is a team sport and I want you to win! I have experience working with adults and adolescents from various backgrounds and experiencing different issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, work/life balance, and stress management.

"It is my goal to provide a safe, non judgmental place to discuss the pitfalls of every day life or discuss a specific traumatic or challenging situation that is causing distress. It is my mission that you will leave my office empowered, with the necessary tools to confront and manage the stressors of your life."

"You are taking the first step towards positive change by considering counseling. Counseling can be instrumental in getting a clearer picture of where you are and helping map your path towards meaning and purpose. The goal of counseling is to empower you to take control over negative influences that have impacted physical/emotional well-being and help you face life's challenges more confidently and with greater awareness. Infusing empathy and genuineness in a nonjudgmental atmosphere, I work to help you see and value your own self-worth and strengthen your ability to practice freedom of choice for continued personal/emotional success."

"My goal in my practice is to provide a safe, supportive place where clients can explore issues they are facing. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a B.A. from Samford University, Masters and Doctorate degrees from the University of Alabama. I completed my internship at the Birmingham VA/UAB Department of Psychiatric Medicine. My graduate school training focused on chronic pain, cardiac rehabilitation, developing/implementing health education campaigns and weight loss. I also specialize in depression, anxiety, life transitions, infertility, working with adolescents and parents on communication/building bonds, life/work balance, managing chronic illness, and couples therapy."

"Something not right? Perhaps I can help. I work with anxiety, depression, immobilization, relationship issues, anger, trauma, shame, addictions. Regarding ADDICTION, good people may develop physical & psychological dependence upon substances (alcohol, drugs, food), or behaviors (sex, gaming, spending, eating). An "addiction cycle" forms, affecting the brain's reward, motivation, cognitive systems. "Recovery" means a changed life. People commonly find recovery in one or more ways: detox & treatment, 12 Steps, Refuge, SMART, sober living, medication assisted treatment. Along with each approach, informed counseling helps. "

"Individuals are often unaware of the many factors that determine their emotions and behavior. My approach fosters self awareness. By better understanding their perceptions about themselves and others, as well as how important experiences have influenced them, clients can change the way they see themselves and the world. They can make informed choices about the way they conduct their present and future lives. My approach is especially suited to getting to the root of long term problems and patterns. The benefits of this approach can be the following:"

"Would you like to have a more fulfilling life? Do you ever feel alone in your struggles? We all feel like this sometimes and could use some help finding answers. I can develop a unique treatment plan based on the specific circumstances of your life. Please allow me to help you identify ways to bring more success to your life. Reaching for help is the brave first step toward getting what you've always wanted. Please call, text, or email today."

"Therapy is a journey into self-awareness. My private practice, Birmingham Therapy Services LLC, focuses on helping individuals walk through their experiences and personally grow from them. My goal for therapy is to create a safe space for self-exploration and self-discovery. I provide understanding and empathy while utilizing a strength-based approach to help clients become more aware of themselves, and therefore experience change."

"Everyone experiences the difficulties of life differently. Often we find that we can handle hardship on our own, with little disruption to our greater life experiences. Other times, we may feel overwhelmed and out of control. In those times it is often helpful to reach out for help. I would love the opportunity to be the person that you seek out for help in those trying times. It is my desire to provide the greatest level of care possible so that you may find relief and freedom from the things that you find troubling or difficult. "

"Are you seeking change, but aren’t quite sure how to start? Are you struggling with things that no one but you knows about? "

"I have 35+ yrs experience. Clients know deep down what they need. My job is to help the person explore their thoughts and feelings & find their own direction for happier or healthier living. I respect a client's self direction & his/her readiness for change. I will explore, guide, probe, even challenge in a kind, gentle and respectful way. I am trained to provide Collaborative Practice/Mediated conflict resolutions; out of court, preserving the dignity of the individuals & relationships. Clients tell me I have a keen sense of understanding their perspectives, they feel respected, & I am greatly helpful to them."

"I specialize in life transition coaching. If there is a gap between where you are now and where you would like to be, there is room for a life transition coach. I help individuals as they set and achieve goals and objectives, plan for businesses and careers, balance professional and personal lives, make key decisions and develop strategies for success, communicate more powerfully, find ideal careers, and make important life transitions. Sometimes you can be too close to your own problems. I can help you reach your biggest goals and shed new light on difficult situations."

"Tired of the same dance? Do the same arguments keep happening over and over again. Has trust been broken through infidelity? Does it feel like there is no way to change this? I have helped many couples just like you find healing and a new way of having a successful relationship. In addition to working couples and individuals, I specialize in treating sexual behavior that is unhealthy for you or inconsistent with your values. I help people overcome chronic infidelity as well as the compulsive use of online pornography and many other kinds of secretive or high-risk sexual activities."

"Welcome! Are you living with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and/or PTSD? Do you recognize that intrusive symptoms are interfering with your life, passions, and relationships? If so, it is time for a change and I can help. I work at your pace and tailor interventions to meet your short-term or long-term needs. I do this by normalizing your experience and helping you find natural coping skills to navigate even the most severe symptoms. I am compassionate, accepting, silly, and direct. I love my career (and so does Wyatt the Therapup)!"

"I think of you as a team-member in counseling, and I like to learn from your narratives, while developing approaches to solve or manage your challenges. I was in practice full time from 1988-2013, and part time since 2013, when I began teaching in Counselor Education at the University of Montevallo. I see myself as a "critical thinker" in academia, and as a "clinical thinker" through counseling, with both those dimensions enhancing the other. I consider it my life's most meaningful privilege to walk with persons who, sometimes courageously, trust the process of personal discovery through counseling."
