New Directions Therapists in Brookwood, Mobile, AL

Welcome to LPC Services ~ Your Behavioral Health Specialist. I have over 15 years of experience working with adolescence, adults, and families who struggle with chemical/gambling addictions, mood disorders, risky behaviors, parenting concerns, and relationship matters. I provide individual, couples, & group counseling sessions Monday-Friday from 8:00am-6:00pm. Services can also be provided to help you fulfill the counseling mandates for your DHR matters, city/state/federal probation requirements, and employment/EAP requirements.

I practice a holistic approach to therapy where you and I work together to help you as a whole person, not just one concern. I believe in reinforcing what strengths you already have while challenging which patterns slow down or stop progress or growth. There's no "right or wrong, good or bad" in addressing concerns. There's what works and what doesn't. Together, we can find what works to do more of it, and less of what doesn't.

ALL of us (Especially Todays Veterans) have had Experiences or been in Circumstances that can cause over-whelming Emotional Problems: Nightmares, Feelings of Impending Doom, Intense Nervousness and Depression which can leave us feeling out of control... Counseling is a good first step to begin to heal. I offer Assessment and Counseling to address: Personal - Family - Marital 'Life's' Issues and 'Veteran's' Issues (Primarily those that resulted in 'PTSD.'). I will help and encourage you in telling your 'story'. 'Living in-to the events' that caused your distress is essential for you to be able to move on.

My goal as an LPC serving the Gulf Coast area is to help others live their "Best Life". We all experience ups and downs in life and can benefit from additional support sometimes. I have many years of experience in treating Depression, Stress, Trauma, Anxiety and Persons with Addictions. I also facilitate support groups and conduct training seminars within the community on a variety of issues to include critical incident debriefing, suicide prevention, crisis intervention and stress/anger management.

We strive to help people in a safe, private, non-judgmental place to work through issues & ultimately find some peace and happiness in life. Our group includes experts in fields of sex therapy, grief counseling, addiction problems and LGBTQ needs.

I chose to go into the line of therapy because I wanted to help people. I realized that I had an interest and a talent for working with kids and teens. This is why I chose my speciality. I believe that they need a space where they can talk freely without fear of being judged. I work very hard on making my therapeutic space as inviting as possible as well as allow an open space for questions, comments, and/or concerns.

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.

I am a humanistic therapist, working from an attachment based perspective. As a humanist I believe in combining a non-judgmental and supportive environment with intellectual curiosity to work with you as a whole person, thoughts and feelings.  In our relationship, I believe we are partners working together to determine root causes and patterns to find the best way forward. I am not the expert on you nor do I strive to be. I look forward to talking with you – not at you. I strive to understand you – not judge you. I have a Masters Degree from Columbia university and close to 20 years of experience in the field of mental health.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2016 along with an additional 9 years in the field of mental health I have worked with a variety of patients living with depression, anxiety, substance use, and other serious mental illnesses. My goal is to provide you with an empathic and non-judgmental environment where we can collaboratively work to help you navigate these life challenges.
