Parenting Therapists in Brookwood, Mobile, AL

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.

Life can be difficult. You are struggling, tired, and maybe even feeling alone. Things don't have to be the way they are. You can rise above these difficulties. I will listen to you, your struggles, your journey, your heart. Together we will work until you discover joy in your life and find that spring in your step that feels refreshing and rejuvenating! I will help you explore and engage in ways of thinking, behaving, & feeling that will lead you to being a healthy and whole person again, and to having improved relationships with others.

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 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.

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.

Bringing children back to wholeness, joy and peace of mind is the heartbeat of my practice. I believe laughter is the best medicine, and I use it during play therapy, role plays, behavioral rehearsal and autistic behavioral treatment. I also love to see families and individuals thrive and work through storms of life which can hit us all. I specialize in role play and behavioral rehearsal, structured problem solving, supportive reflection and interpersonal resolutions. I make it a priority to call or text you back when you reach out to me while we work on issues.

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.

In counseling, we will explore life cycles and any strongholds getting in the way of achieving your present and future goals. Life as we know it has changed during the pandemic. Therefore, it's important to have a safe space to reflect and verbalize the changes you have experienced while identifying what you have learned about yourself in order to move forward in your journey.

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.

“When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, ‘Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it’s like to be me" (Carl Rogers). I believe that therapy is an equal partnership and I view my clients as experts in their own lives. Through mutual respect, empathetic listening, and positive regard, I work alongside my clients to help them find resolution and peace.
