Experiential Therapy in Alabama

Integrating creativity into healing is my passion. My goal as a therapist is to cultivate a safe space where you feel comfortable bringing your own passions and interests into the session. In therapy, I'll help you to heal from your hurts and meet your goals holistically. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and their families to process issues related to trauma, attachment, self-harm/suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, anger management, divorce, grief, identity development, and life transitions.

Two things that consistently spark joy for me are the ocean and the color blue. I was born and raised in Birmingham and I come from a big, loud, Italian family. While family doesn't always spark joy, I strive to stay healthy so that I can relate to my family better. Family has always been very important to me and that’s why I love systems therapy. So many of our wounds are tied to a relationship (or a lack thereof) and at the same time, healing can only be found in relationships. Sometimes we are afforded an opportunity to heal a relationship and other times we have to find internal healing with the support of other relationships.

You and your partner are staring at a long, bumpy road ahead of you. Once, you were excited to go on this journey together. Now, part of you is terrified of what's to come. You want to make things work, but you're tired and weary of having the same fight over and over. You can't seem to agree on anything. Are we ready for marriage or have similar goals? What's the best way to raise our kids? Enter stress from outside the relationship- pressure from opinionated in-laws, ever-increasing demands from work, kids acting out at school. Just when you need your partner's support the most, you feel like your teammate has left you stranded.

I help women suffering from anxiety learn skills and gain tools to live a peaceful and confident life again. Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, and irritable more often than not? Do you sometimes feel paralyzed by indecision, worried you will make the wrong choices? Or maybe you find it hard to fall asleep at night as your mind races replaying events or worrying about the future. But, imagine a future where you have the skills and tools to manage these feelings, where you regain control over your thoughts, and find peace and calmness in situations that once overwhelmed you. A future where you look forward to the day's challenges.

I am Fanicy H. Sears, owner, of eMotion Therapy. I am a certified Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, Board Certified Telemental Health Therapist and Psychedelic Integration Therapist. My goal as a trauma therapist and psychedelic integration therapist is to help individuals who experience treatment resistant mood disorders and complicated grief obtain relief and rediscover a new sense of normalcy. I provide Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, a therapeutic approach that utilizes ketamine (a physician prescribed anesthetic) to help rebalance the brain and accelerate the therapeutic process through psychedelic integration.

"Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity, it is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity." -Brene Brown. Life can be very difficult, and most of us find ourselves feeling stuck at one point or another. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, disordered eating, body dysmorphia, or feel a general sense of unworthiness, please know that you are not alone and there is help.

I have extensive experience working with multiple populations (i.e. children, adolescents, and adults). I have worked with children, adolescents and their families addressing behavioral and emotional issues and those with chronic mental illness (such as Depression, Anxiety, and Schizoaffective Disorder). I have also worked inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment. I have training and background addressing issues related to mood disorders, anxiety, behavioral and emotional problems, and attention deficit disorders.

Hi, I'm Kendall, an associate licensed counselor in the Huntsville area and I'm glad you are here. Brene Brown once shared that, "Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” I believe that therapy provides a supported place to explore our story for the purpose of wholeness and healing.

I believe all people deserve to experience unconditional positive regard; the acceptance of who you are regardless of what you say or do. You are unique, and I like to embrace that uniqueness and show you how to use it as your own personal superpower. Although we cannot avoid loss, pain, disappointment, and trauma, I find that when people connect with others they are inherently strengthened. There is power in telling your story in safe spaces.

What if your negative thoughts and beliefs weren't consuming you every moment of the day? What if you could move throughout your day without overwhelming anxiety or crippling depression? What if you saw life in color again and felt like you could breathe again? I truly believe healing is possible. I personally have found deep proud healing through brainspotting therapy. My goal is to help you do the same with advanced brainspotting practices.

My passion is to help others find healing, peace and empowerment in their life. I offer a warm and welcoming presence as well as curiosity and openness. I have walked with many individuals who have worked through issues of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, relational difficulties and life transitions. I offer a safe place to unpack the story of your life, patterns in your relationships and places of difficulty that have burdened you or have kept you isolated. My hope is that in this work you will experience more authenticity, connection, and healing in your life.

My goal is to provide a safe space for my clients to share their stories and learn to love themselves. I believe that people learn how to act, react, and interact from their families and environment. Sometimes those patterns get in the way of the life they want. In therapy, I guide the client towards healing through providing a balance of nurturance and challenging so my clients can reach their goals.

Life brings about many issues that we often want help working through. Irvin Yalom wrote “it’s the relationship that heals," and I aim to build a strong therapeutic alliance with each of my clients in a safe, warm, and empathic environment where we will work together to determine your specific goals for therapy, identify strategies to make your desired changes, heal wounds, increase your coping skills, and improve your overall health.

Embarking on a therapeutic journey is a courageous step, and I'm honored to guide you through life's transitions. Specializing in life transitions, behavior issues, and women's empowerment, I create a safe, compassionate space for you to be seen, heard, and understood. Life brings unique challenges, and I'm here to empower you in navigating them. Providing a supportive environment to explore patterns, develop coping strategies, and foster positive change, individuals facing diverse challenges find solace and empowerment in our sessions, where we address personal growth, relationships, and life transitions.

If you are experiencing a challenging time in your life personally or professionally, need assistance working through a conflict or you are simply seeking personal growth, I am here to journey with you along the path; providing Support, Acceptance, and Guidance towards your Enlightenment (SAGE).

I love working with those who are ready to make a change in their lives. I think trust and comfort are the two most important factors when choosing a therapist. For real progress to happen, the therapist has to be a good fit for you. I think each client comes in with individual and specific challenges, meaning therapy has to be tailored to fit each client. I'd love to be able to take the time to figure out what is happening for you and what can be helpful in overcoming obstacles.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldnʼt be so hard to live a better life.
