Women's Issues Therapists in Mobile, AL

“Dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening. . ."Mark Twain. This quote illustrates the kind of practice I strive to create. I believe it is necessary to encourage clients to feel free from judgment, criticism, or fear from what someone else thinks. My goal is to provide a safe place using an eclectic approach involving person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. This allows clients to establish a course that is personally tailored to meet the needs of those with substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

You’re wondering how you got here. Hurting yourself is not filling the void and it’s not making the numbness or the bad feelings go away. You’re feeling sad, unmotivated, drained, lost, anxious, and wondering how you will get through another day. Meeting new friends should be the best part of your life but you still can’t let yourself trust anyone or maybe not even trust yourself. You’re ready to release the hopelessness. How would it feel to have a life of support, feeling safe to trust in healthy relationships, feeling fulfilled in life, and feeling joy in what makes you happy?

Want to break through life's challenges? If you have anxiety, worry, depression, mental illness, guilt, shame, anger, toxic relationships, trouble setting goals, lack of focus, grief, limiting thoughts and beliefs, esteem issues, job loss, family issues, school issues, childhood trauma or later life issues, then look no further. As a seasoned professional, I offer holistic counseling, therapy and coaching services to good people who need a helping hand during trying times in their lives. My background includes psychiatric, self-esteem, intellectual disability, veteran, abuse, family, career, dual diagnosis and other related issues.

I am a family medicine doctor with experience taking care of the mental health needs of both adults and children. I am passionate about providing affordable, convenient care. I try to find the unique balance in each patient between medical and behavioral/therapeutic management and tailor the treatment to each patient based on their needs and desires.

I have 21.5 years total clinical psychology experience working with children to older adults. I have worked in a military outpatient setting as a mental health provider for 10.5 years, half of that time as an active duty officer, and have received annual training in police psychology for 7 years. I conduct therapy from a multicultural perspective, and operate from a perspective of mind, body, and spirit as commensurate with the client's values.

Hello! My name is Bailey Kennon and I am a Graduate Level Intern completing my Clinical Counseling training through Liberty University. I currently see clients in both Mobile and Orange Beach. I have a B.A. in Management from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I grew up in Orange Beach, AL, but my husband and I moved to Mobile in Spring 2022 as he is a Student Pastor in this area. I would explain myself as an extroverted introvert- I love to spend one on one time with folks and provide a safe space to process emotions and experiences.

The fact that you’ve landed on my profile tells me that there is still hope in your heart. Hope that things can get better. Hope that you can live a better life. Hope that you no longer have to struggle. I never realized how many times per day I used the word “hope” until after I named my practice. I would be willing to bet that you use it a lot, too. H.O.P.E. stands for "Healing Our Painful Experiences.”

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.

Are you a veteran or family member seeking direction, I can help. Individual, couple and group sessions are available with hours that work for you. Sometimes life can bring us to our knees. When it does, I've found, it's important to have the right support system. Learning how to look at painful experiences differently and live a value-based life can mean the difference between existing and thriving. Personal experience has shown me that a change in perspectives, and developing new skills, have the power to transform our pain into a powerful life experience.

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.
