Teletherapy for Birmingham, AL

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.

My ideal client is one that perhaps is dealing with feelings of fear, anger, envy, uncertainty, depression, perhaps amplified by strong religious convictions and spiritual uncertainty. They are particularly uncomfortable with being vulnerable often negligent in discussing feelings and issues of religion and spirituality, but will allow a few conversations to explore what their particular and specific issues and beliefs may be, including past traumas and sexual abuse issues. This client would be open to exploring their spirituality (not religion) as a means of developing and improving coping skills and spiritual strategies.

As humans, we navigate what can feel like an unsteady and confusing world. Life can be overwhelming. We may find ourselves in places where we need to make hard choices and manage difficult situations. As a counselor, my passion is for walking with clients through challenging times by using an integrated, person-centered therapeutic approach. Our process will be based on what works best for you, using techniques that include narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused brief therapy. I pride myself on building strong relationships based on trust as we progress through the growth and recovery process.

Are you returning to the same behavior over and over despite the consequences? Obsessing over certain behaviors and compulsively acting on them? Maybe a loved one in your life struggling with an addiction? Reaching out for help can feel like the end of the rope. For many, it feels like a free fall. You can overcome all of these struggles. You need a guide. Congratulations for courageously taking this first step. Fearful, confused, think it will never get any better? Want some guidance? Since 2012 Garrett has provided counseling services to people who have deep desires for connection with others and peace with the world.

Life got you down? Trauma holding you back? Or are you looking for someone to listen? It's an honor to be a counselor and would love to help you navigate this crazy thing called life. I'm passionate about working with children, teenagers, young adults, and new mothers.

If you're going through a hard time or know someone who is and could benefit from counseling, please call me today.

Daily changes can make the journey through life transitions difficult at times. The pathway can be impeded with barriers and obstacles that create a sense of helplessness and hopelessness. I allow the client to freely acknowledge their need for help and allow the patient to accept the responsibility to take charge and conquer their circumstances. I will enable the client to develop the tools needed to make positive life adjustments.

My ideal client is one who is ready to talk about their difficulties and problems and accept therapeutic relationship building, unconditional positive regard, feedback and reframing. I enjoy working with clients across the life continuum starting at age 4.

It's a brave and powerful step to work towards prioritizing one's mental health. As a therapist, I honor the commitment to begin one's healing process.
