Therapists in Montgomery, AL

Are you depressed or anxious or have recently been diagnosed with a mental illness and are perplexed, confused, even angry? Is your relationship stuck and you can't seem to find peace? The Healing Corner, LLC embodies change, restoration, and healing through counseling as a Christian. I have experience and a passion to teach children and adults in crisis, as well as those with behavior problems, substance abuse, and grief issues, along with bipolar disorder how to manage and cope. Everyone deserves to unlock the treasure of an abundant life within. Communities are healed one individual at a time.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, extensive experience in mental health, substance abuse & spiritual issues as a Chaplain/Pastoral Counselor. I hold two Masters Degrees: Master of Divinity in Pastoral Care/Counseling & Master of Education in Counseling/Guidance. Worked over 10 years with adults & now am expanding into work with children/adolescents. Enjoy working with people in building their self-esteem, exploring impact of families of origin on their current functioning, & helping persons connect with their identity/purpose, using various modalities. I enjoy using Sandplay Therapy & other creative methods. I invite you to contact me to help you discover your strengths & build coping tools.

Are you facing overwhelming challenges in your marriage or relationships? With your children? Are you struggling with depression or anxiety/fear? Whether you are facing a job transition, conflict in your relationship, a death of a friend or relative, or another pressing concern, therapy provides you someone to listen, to walk beside you through these experiences, and to offer guidance and support as you face new discoveries and insights to your life and well-being. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families and view therapy as your opportunity to grow healthier -- mentally, emotionally, behaviorally, relationally, and spiritually.

I utilize different approaches to help clients achieve self growth and to build better relationships. I provide a safe space for clients to explore their inner world to accomplish high self worth, competent boundaries, secure attachments, and individual purpose. I explore spiritual, mental, emotional and family dynamics with my clients to get to the root of any life stressors. I hope for my clients to experience inner peace and clarity after each session as they continue towards a journey of self-awareness. Practical and existential practices are utilized to bring about confidence and high self-esteem to achieve the client's goals.

Life is full of challenges, but being happy shouldn't be one of them! Whether your unhappiness is defined as an adolescent suffering from bullying, a spouse in a marriage that's lost its passion, a parent concerned with dysfunction in your family, or an individual struggling with grief, depression, or anxiety, I am here to help. I believe therapy is a place to help uncover your truths, not create them. We all have the tools necessary to be our best selves, sometimes we just a little guidance. While children are my main clientele, I have a heart for anyone who is ready to challenge their potential and unlock true happiness.

I enjoy working with clients to help identify their strengths, overcome obstacles and build their self-esteem. I work with clients to normalize their feelings and increase their self-awareness. I am passionate about removing the stigma from therapy and mental health treatment. I try to promote mindfulness when dealing with strong emotions and work to offer clients a safe and nonjudgmental place to share their feelings.

I love to work with people of all ages. I enjoy being there with clients and supporting them through whatever difficulties have brought them to seek counseling. I have helped people deal with ADHD, loss and grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, self esteem, parenting issues, communication, and just life in general.... I am a firm believer that at some point in our lives, everyone could benefit from counseling. Sometimes when you are struggling, you need a little help to figure out how to struggle better, and that is more than ok.

Telling your story takes tremendous courage. In my work I am constantly humbled and honored to receive those stories. As a therapist I work from the premise that people are deeply complex and multilayered beings. Our past, our present, and expectations of our future dictate how we navigate life's inevitable challenges. Because our lives are a constant state of transition, we have the opportunity to learn from the past and navigate our present through awareness and understanding of ourselves, and others. I feel it a great honor to support people in their transitions, and foster their awareness and growth.

Having a good therapist can be an essential aid in negotiating life’s challenges. A compassionate therapist who listens without judgment is a valuable resource in not only getting you through trying times but also aiding you in developing strength and resiliency for future challenges. My goal as a therapist is to help you reach your goals. Whether it is a more peaceful life, a life with healthier relationships, or life with less stress and anxiety I will help you with achieving it. A good therapist helps you get stronger and provides you with skills to tackle life’s challenges. I work with adults, adolescents, and children.
