Couples Counseling Therapists in Mobile, AL

Whether you are struggling with everyday problems or more complex issues, learning to manage your problems so they do not manage you sometimes requires assistance. Your choice of therapist is important. With over thirty years of experience in nursing and counseling, I work with individuals and couples dealing with sex addiction, relationship and infidelity issues, while helping you learn to utilize the tools necessary and move beyond addiction. My office provides a comfortable level of privacy for those in high level or sensitive positions. Visit www.beverlysteinhauer.com.

I provide counseling for individuals, couples and families. My practice offers a confidential environment where you can address the issues affecting your quality of life. Anxiety, depression, confusion about relationships and intimacy, marital strife, divorce, grief, parenting issues, eating disorders, and trauma are common issues around which I can help facilitate change and healing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The truth is, when someone is in the midst of troubling life events like the death of a loved one or pet, the loss of a job, declining health, financial problems, and/or relationship issues, a strong and resilient faith may be just what is missing from his/her life. Happily, there is hope. Yes! HOPE! Introducing Christian Counseling - a faith-based therapeutic approach that will help you overcome the pain you experience as you move towards personal wholeness, interpersonal competence, mental stability, and spiritual maturity. A happier & healthier life is in store!

Have you felt missed (unseen/unheard), lonely, disposable, or unwanted by others (or yourself)? Are you struggling with self-worth, personal identity, and meaning-making? Are you having difficulty navigating the pressures that come with cultivating healthy-wholehearted relationships? What would it be like to feel yourself authentically as well as a genuine connection with others? When you envision your best life, what would you need to change to make that your reality?

There is a reason that you are here. Perhaps all of a sudden you feel like you are teetering on the edge, barely hanging on. Perhaps now there are more bad days than good. There may be things you have been through that still affect you - if you have experienced traumatic events (or maybe a lifetime of trauma), there might be moments that are overwhelming to your body and emotions. Maybe in the midst of it all you have lost hope that things can ever be different. When you feel ready to reach out, I am ready to offer compassion and kindness to explore the things you feel stuck in. We heal best when we are not alone in our journey.

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 an experienced therapist and a good listener,I most enjoy working with a client who is motivated to make some changes in his/her life, and who is willing to think in some new ways, as well as to attempt some new behaviors. I can easily support a client who is open, honest, and self-searching, rather than very defensive. I am usually able to help those with relationship issues to effect change, to help those with addictions and compulsions, and to help clients with depression, stress disorders, and anxiety disorders. I am also experienced in dealing with grief and loss issues.

"You are strong enough to face it all, even if it doesn't feel like it right now" . This quote speaks quite loudly to me because upon reflection, I find that Life has a way of interfering when I am busy doing something else. I have spent the better part of 25 years learning who I am and have willingly and sometimes unwillingly faced harsh realities I would not chose for anyone, much less myself. One of the most important things that has proven to be true for me, is that if I can find meaning in events that shattered my world or at the very least, shook it up, then my understanding and insight increased and I could find peace.
