Adults Therapists in Tuscaloosa, AL

Therapy evolves through collaboration between you and your therapist, creating a unique experience to meet your needs and achieve desired outcomes. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, offering a practical, down-to-earth approach in which I help my clients achieve a greater sense of awareness, empowerment, and develop better solutions and strategies to face life’s challenges. I believe that as people become more aware and accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding happiness and contentment in their lives.

We all struggle with something at some point in our lives and you don’t have to go through it alone. I don’t claim to have all the answers but I will walk alongside you as we figure them out together. I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental space for my clients. I take a collaborative approach- you are the expert of your life and I am here to help you reconnect with your authentic self and restore feelings of worth and hope.

Accepting New Clients! Whew, life can feel tough sometimes. Have you hurt your own feelings by overthinking and making up "what-if" scenarios because your anxiety has made you spiral with your thoughts? You can't see to figure out why your romantic relationships don't last . Other people have made you feel like you're not worthy of love because of who you are, and as a result your self-esteem is at an all time low. Maybe you just need to process this whirlwind we call life with someone who isn't your best friend. I'm here to support you in reaching your goals!

Coming into therapy, especially for the first time, can be daunting. Diving into unknown waters and discussing your innermost feelings in front of a stranger can feel terrifying. It is understandable why there can be a lot of hesitance before taking that plunge. At New Growth Therapy, when a client I've been seeing for some time has what I call "the aha moment" in session and they start creating change, it can often prove to be one of the most rewarding experiences.

I specialize in clients that have issues with anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. In addition I specialize in ADHD of adults and children. As I therapist I am laid back yet positive and goal oriented. I would like to teach my potential clients skills to improve their quality of life not to be dependent on the therapist. It is my belief that therapy is not just a session or a conversation it is actual work on you yourself or family members.

I work with clients on unlocking strengths that allow them to discover the best version of themselves. My goal as a therapist is to work with you to create desired change. I have experience working with young children, adults, couples, and families. If you are struggling with anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship conflict, or overall life stressors, Thrive Therapy can help! Reaching out can be the hardest step but also the most rewarding.

As an Licensed Professional Counselor, I offer a counseling approach designed to suit the needs of each client. I have experience with adults, children, groups, and couples from various backgrounds and ages. I have a desire and commitment for walking with others as they journey through life's challenges, the losses and disappointments as well as changing seasons of life. There are times when life can seem to be overwhelming. You can sometimes become lost in the journey known as life and not know how to deal with it.

I have worked with children, adolescents, families, and adults for over 20 years. This has given me experience in school settings, both in the elementary and high school areas, as well as, a mental health setting which implemented a team approach to care including psychiatrists, nurses, and psychotherapists. I have gained valuable experience in treating various disorders, as well as issues within families. Although I have worked in a variety of settings, my goal has remained constant: do all I can to encourage people to feel valued, to know they are cared about, and to feel empowered to act from their own inner wisdom.

On average people wait 5 years before they choose to pursue therapy, but there's no need. Life is difficult and struggling with mental health or issues with relationship dynamics makes it more difficult. Take a brave first step with hope and schedule an appointment today, there's no need to wait.

Are you struggling with finding a sense of peace or balance in your everyday life?

You can't make sense of your feelings, or perhaps you feel so disconnected, you are numb to your emotions. If you have found yourself here, I imagine that you are seeking relief and hope.

I began human service work in 1986 after receiving my Bachelor of Science degree in Counseling from the University of Montevallo, located in Montevallo, Alabama. I received my Master of Education in Counseling from the University of Montevallo in 1994. I became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2001. I am currently licensed in Alabama and Georgia (inactive at present in Georgia) and am a board-certified supervisor for those wishing to become licensed counselors. A hurtful past cannot change, but moving through fear and hurt leads to acceptance, and then peace becomes evident.

Every person has individual, unique experiences that they bring into the room, which means their own therapy needs may look very different than another’s. I am passionate about working alongside clients who are motivated to pursue lasting change in their lives, whether that be processing complex trauma, learning new relationship skills, navigating life transitions, or formulating healthy boundaries and self care practices. It can be painful to talk about and face the things that have brought you to the place you are currently in, but just like resetting a broken bone, the rewards of healing far outweigh the pain of healing!
