Female Therapists in Montgomery County, AL
I am originally from Lexington, KY, and after graduating with my Master's. I moved to western central Ohio, where I opened a private practice. I wanted to create a unique mental health counseling experience, headquartered in a renovated Victorian home in Historic Sidney, Ohio, that provides a relaxing, home-like atmosphere. In 2013, I moved to Birmingham, Alabama. I have continued providing Mental Health Counseling Services in both Alabama and the Ohio location.

Happiness is not an illusion but a reality worth striving for, and with therapy (together) we can find real solutions to change the course of your life. Many times we are displaced by grief, job loss, and relationship stressors, which increases our depression & anxiety. Life is like a roller coaster with ups, downs and wide turns; however, life can be enjoyable with help from a trained therapist. I prefer using different methods that are aimed at addressing a client needs and wants. As a trained, skilled professional, I look forward to helping you address your problems, issues and meeting your goals to improve your mental health.

Do you sometimes feel like you need a shield between you and the world? One moment you are deeply engaged with life, moved by music and art, soothed by nature, and the next everything is too loud and abrasive, people are draining all of your energy, you feel responsible for everyone’s emotions before they can even voice them, and someone is telling you to “stop being so sensitive”. At times you feel like your brain is at war with itself, wanting to seek out new experiences and deep connections but also wanting to retreat into your own world.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
