Compassion Focused Therapists in Selma, AL

There are a number of things that can create feelings of hopelessness, overwhelm, anxiety and stress. Changes and transition in our lives, our perceptions of self, and challenges within our relationships may inspire a desire for further insight and understanding of what we find important as well as how we might like to grow. Through counseling, you may begin exploring stuck points and areas of growth, supporting you in finding relief from emotional pain and in cultivating self-compassion - increasing your ability to cope with challenging situations and circumstances as you experience them.

You find yourself stuck in the same negative cycles. You trust the wrong people and get into relationships that only leave you feeling manipulated, abused, and unsafe. They’ve taken away your power, your voice, and the weight of trauma has left you questioning your worth. You’ve tried reaching out to loved ones, connecting to your faith, and other means to address your concerns, but all those choices have failed. Your needs are not met, and you desperately desire support to make consistent, positive changes to succeed mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.

Hi there, I'm Anna Gray. An LMFT who works with individuals and couples searching for a safe place to explore the difficulties of being human. None of us are immune to sadness, worry, grief, or relational hardship. Sometimes pressure, the heaviness of comparison, or stress can make us feel even more exposed. My priority is to support anyone ready to sort through difficult emotions and experiences so they can feel more united to their authentic self. Our time together will be spent uncovering the beauty, purpose, and strength inside you, and remembering the most important thing: you are worthy of love just as you are.

Taking the first step towards therapy can be challenging, but it is a courageous and fulfilling decision! As someone who has experienced therapy first-hand, I can vouch for its benefits! Life can be tough, whether it’s navigating a loss, breaking free from negative family patterns, or just needing a safe space to process your thoughts. Therapy provides that space. The weight of these experiences can leave us feeling isolated, lost, and overwhelmed, but you don't have to face them alone. Whether you're an individual, couple, or family, know that I'm here to support you through these tough times.

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, or good night! I will give you 25 cool points if you tell me where I borrowed that phrase from.

Do you feel burdened with sadness, worry, overwhelm and/or fear? Is your brain exhausted and your body fatigued?

My goal is to create an authentic, comfortable, and compassionate therapeutic environment where you can take steps towards experiencing improved emotional health.

Sometimes life’s problems and dilemmas need to be addressed in counseling or they could possibly interfere with the opportunity for you to experience a happier, purposeful, balanced, and fulfilling life.
