Therapists in Mobile, AL

I am licensed in Alabama with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! And I am looking forward to assist you on your journey.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to providing you with a safe and non-judgmental environment where we can collaboratively navigate life challenges. I firmly believe in focusing on your strengths while also identifying opportunities for improvement. Together we will build skills, increase awareness, and explore effective strategies to cope with the stressors that life presents. I understand the importance of addressing both immediate concerns and deeper issues and I am committed to helping you improve yourself and find meaningful solutions.

Jennifer's therapeutic work focuses on the areas of depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, grief, marriage and family, cognitive behavioral therapy, and play therapy. She particularly enjoys working with children, adolescents, and young adults.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have worked with a wide variety of people, including the seriously mentally ill, those addicted to substances, personality disorders, and others just having trouble figuring out life's expectations. I want to work with you to help you move forward when you are not getting the most out of your life, you feel stuck or alone, for reasons you can explain and for reasons you cannot explain. Are you open to therapy and making a change? Let me help you navigate your world and help you make the changes necessary to make a difference.

I've been serving this community as a fully certified EMDR trauma therapist for over 13 years, and I am here to help you grow, heal, and change. I like to understand your story and life experiences that have led you to the place you are in at this moment, so that we can unroot some belief systems that have held you back from your full potential. A new perspective and understanding can change everything. EMDR is an amazing therapy to help you overcome. Due to my training and experience, there is little that would surprise me. I offer a nonjudgemental atmosphere that will offer you tools and insight to promote change in your life.

I work with clients through the lifespan. I believe in meeting clients where they are to achieve goals and find more contentment with their lives. While I do work with people struggling with mental illness, I also work with those who would just like to gain perspective and increased effectiveness in their lives.

My practice primarily serves military veterans, service members, first responders, and other persons who are struggling with emotional, relational, and/or spiritual issues related to trauma, loss, and addiction. I rely heavily on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and other empirically supported approaches. I also believe that spirituality and/or religious faith can provide powerful sources of strength and suffering in the healing process. As such, I enjoy assuming a holistic approach according to my clients' core beliefs/values in a manner that ultimately leads to greater meaning, purpose, and belonging in life.

I help adults struggling with anxiety and depression feel better. Overall, people typically feel better within weeks. As a trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapist, I use techniques grounded in science to make a measurable change, quickly and without years of therapy. I help people learn about feelings of anxiety and depression. With this increased understanding of such feelings, clients are able to gain insight and learn grounding techniques, coping skills, and ultimately feel less anxious and depressed. I am pleased to help people learn different ways of thinking, feeling, behaving, and reacting in stressful situations.

Spiraling into negative thoughts is a daily struggle. Often, you feel yourself unraveling and the mask to which you cling to chips away little by little. You may have felt ok from time to time or just feel numb. You might feel overwhelmed with your other responsibilities or daily to-do list, or you might even forget what day of the week it is. This might be one of the hardest times for you because you know you need to get better but don't where to begin. The thought of self-care just feels exhausting, like a waste of time, or even a selfish desire.

Counseling to me is all about learning how to empower yourself to weather the ups and downs in life. My goal is to build a relationship with you that allows the space to process hardships and traumatic experiences that you have faced and might be facing still. I can help with a wide array of problems ranging from depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more. I work with children, teens, adults, and couples. My specialty and passion is trauma work. I specialize in helping people of all ages who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of violence.

We know that it is hard some times to find affordable counseling. Our team provides counseling for all ages and coming from all walks of life. We have trained counseling interns currently completing their Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling under the supervision of Joanna Snow, MA, LPC-S, that provide counseling at reduced fees. In addition, we offer evening, in person and online appointments. We are located in Downtown Mobile.

My sole purpose as a counselor is to help people. If you are dissatisfied with how things are going in your life, I am here to help you determine steps you can take to change that. I typically take a solution-focused approach to therapy, which is collaborative, practical, and goal-driven. YOU are the most important part of our relationship and, together, we will develop a plan that best helps you reach your goals. You can expect me to be honest, supportive, accepting, and thought provoking. You can also expect me to actively listen to you and provide feedback.

As a counselor who specializes in anxiety and depression, I understand the unique challenges that you face. I am passionate about helping you find happiness and peace in your life. Whether it’s navigating changes such as aging, perimenopause and menopause and midlife changes, grief & loss, re-evaluation of relationships and self-worth, I can help. My goal is to provide support and guidance so that my clients can achieve the happiness they deserve.

I believe the biggest part of my job is to provide a safe space for you to share about yourself and what you’re experiencing. I provide psychotherapy without regard to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity while making you feel heard and understood. From there we can work on ways for you to improve your coping in whatever it is you’re going through.

Do you ever feel life is beating you down? Are you experiencing a change in life? Do you feel broken, stressed or exhausted? I named my practice Restore because I believe that counseling can offer you the opportunity to bring back the feeling of wholeness you may have once felt in life. I believe in the importance and beauty of life. When life changes it can be an opportunity for you to gain new skills to deal with your emotions. Just like you would see a doctor or set exercise goals, your emotional health is just as important to your overall health. I can work with you to help you bring new beauty out of the struggles of life.

My hope is that I can walk along side my clients as they grow, learn and heal. I strive to make a safe and comfortable environment for my clients, without judgment. My journey though life to this point has garnered a passion for people. This passion helps enable me to assist my clients and meet them where they are at in life.

We each have a unique story. Often, those stories can include very difficult & painful events or seasons that can negatively impact our view of ourselves, how we relate with others, & our ability to live & cope with life in the ways that we desire. This can lead to feeling confused, overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck, or even hopeless. Trauma, loss, difficult relationships, & other life disappointments can all wreak havoc on our bodies, minds, emotions & relationships. Things CAN be different. Relief, growth & healing are possible. It takes tremendous courage to reach out for help. We are not meant to walk our journeys alone.

Are you someone who has experienced a big transition in life? Has worry creeped in as you wonder what are your next steps? Are you struggling with communication and unhealthy relationships? Are you dealing with overwhelming stress due to the pressures of life? Are you searching for meaning and/or just beginning your spiritual journey? Though these are all tough situations, it does not have to be your end. Becoming aware of your current position and where you want to go is key. You can tackle the next stage of life, anxiety, relationships, and spirituality with the help of a therapist.

My assignment is to help you identify your identity, tap your untapped potential, change your behavior by transforming your belief system, and assist you through life's situations.
