Substance Use Therapists in Brookwood, Mobile, AL

My goal is to provide a safe space for my clients to share their stories and learn to love themselves. I believe that people learn how to act, react, and interact from their families and environment. Sometimes those patterns get in the way of the life they want. In therapy, I guide the client towards healing through providing a balance of nurturance and challenging so my clients can reach their goals.

As a Veteran in long-term recovery myself, I offer clients a unique perspective of a lived experience. Our clinic offers Veterans, First Responders, their families and caregivers complete physical and mental wellness services. We actively promote a culture-of-health in our clinic and through community outreach. We regularly evaluate our effectiveness for providing Trauma-Informed Care. Our multi-disciplined clinical team includes physicians, physician assistants, psychologists, social workers, counselors, physical therapists, occupational therapists and certified peer support specialists.

Dr. Kline's practice provides a compassionate, relaxed, and informal, environment where people in emotional pain can focus on getting better without fear of judgment. With experience and expertise spanning cognitive, behavioral, emotional, neurophysiological, and sociocultural levels of analysis, he provides an integrative, individualized, non-pharmacological approach to treating mental illness. If you are already taking medication, psychotherapy can help make it more effective. He believes that a diagnosis can help inform treatment, but does not define you. Diagnostic categories often don't entirely fit a given individual, so treatment needs to reflect individual goals and needs.

Accepting NEW clients. Life is challenging with its many twists and turns which make it difficult to overcome adversities. I am here to help you overcome those difficulties and obstacles that occur in day to day living. I believe that with compassion and empathy I can help you achieve your goals. It can feel overwhelming and lonely when going through difficult times, but I am here to tell you that you are not alone. I will be there throughout your journey of self-exploration, achievements, and resolution of goals.

Life can be a bumpy road. The path we take can lead us to happiness or to despair. Making a wrong turn, not knowing which way to go or reaching what seems like a dead end is not the end of your journey. Sometimes we all need help getting to where we want to be. As a counselor, I help make your journey a more positive one. Grief and loss can stop you in your tracks and hinder you from moving forward. The loss of a loved one, job, relationship, pregnancies or even your life before illness or change can cause feelings of grief. Counseling helps work through the pain of your loss to experience joy again. A life you want is within reach.

The clients that I typically encounter are looking to make a change that will create a better life environment for themselves and those that love them. They want to do something different and are open and willing to explore the uncomfortable to grow in the therapeutic process. I want clients to trust that they can be whoever the need to be in a session.
