Therapists in Capshaw, AL

In my realm of counseling services, my ideal client is an individual who embraces the potential of therapeutic treatment and seeks genuine healing and growth. They are open-minded, ready to actively participate in their journey towards well-being, and understand that the real "work" happens both within and outside our counseling sessions. They yearn for unconditional support that goes beyond mere directives; instead, they seek guidance and empowerment to uncover their inner strength. They are in need of authentic connections and emotional support to navigate through the complexities of life.

Life can be hard! If you are struggling with challenges such as: marriage or relationship issues, infidelity, anxiety, depression, divorce, job loss, or low self-esteem maybe it is time to do something different. If your current efforts to deal with relationships, emotions, and life's challenges just aren't working, it is probably time to get some help. Maybe you're unsure if counseling really works. Counseling is no "magic pill" that instantly fixes your problems! However, it does help many people change, heal, and improve their quality of life.

Tired of having the same old argument in your marriage? Do you feel trapped in a marriage that seems to be going nowhere? Are you the only one in the marriage who wants marriage counseling? Are you depressed? Is there someone in your family who needs anger management? Has anyone in your family struggled with alcohol or drugs? You are probably wondering how will I ever choose a therapist. I congratulate you on being diligent in trying to find a counselor. You need someone who understands you and that you feel comfortable with.

As a therapist I like to meet my clients where they are. I work with each client to develop a plan based on proven therapeutic methods. I provide mental health treatment to teens, indiviuals and families who are experiencing difficulties in their lives. Welcome to the no judgment zone.

We, as human beings, crave connection and intimacy in our lives. We want to be seen, understood, and appreciated in our relationships with ourselves, the people we love, and the people who love us. Sex and sexuality are often at the root of these connections. Our perceptions of sex and sexuality are fluid and naturally change as we go through life. Communication surrounding consent, affection, sexuality, and intimacy is often avoided due to the taboo nature of sex. At Fluidity Counseling, we strive to provide a safe place to navigate through the shame and stigma that can accompany these conversations.

When your life doesn’t fit the stories they tell, when your experience doesn’t match a list of symptoms, when you’re ready to find, or perhaps recover, your voice. Many people feel silenced simply because their struggles and strengths are unfamiliar and misunderstood, or even denied, by others. The fear of being deemed unacceptable can be paralyzing.

As an active and collaborative therapist, I provide a comfortable, safe, caring environment for psychotherapy. Blending warmth and compassion with insight and skill building, I help you navigate through difficult times and emerge with renewed hope. You will gain new skills and strategies to maximize strengths, overcome obstacles, and create positive and intentional patterns of growth. You will gain skills to communicate more effectively and understand and resolve your challenges and conflicts in constructive, compassionate and healthy ways. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients lead fulfilled, empowered and productive lives. History is not destiny.

Your ability to heal and grow through therapy is not based on the type or severity of your problem but rather your commitment to evolving into your best self and your best life. Your healing and growth will unfold from our understanding of your life journey and a informed therapeutic approach to your personality and needs. I will provide you with an in depth Psychological evaluation which in turn will be the basis of your personalized therapy process. I will then put you in the hands of the highly trained, caring therapist who is best suited to your personality and needs.

Most people come to therapy knowing that they have something they would like to address. It is my job to help you develop new ways of thinking and being, so that you can get beyond whatever is holding you back in your life. I use an integrative, wholistic approach which draws on the many disciplines in which I have training. Whether you enter therapy wanting to deal with anxiety, past trauma, or addiction, or you just want to function better in daily life, together we can work to meet your goals.

My practice, for more than thirty years, has focused on helping a broad range of individuals and families in the area. I have stayed deliberately diverse in the populations that I serve, as well as issues addressed. One of the joys of practicing a long time in one place is having long term relationships with families and groups of people through their having referred their loved ones to me, or coming back in when a new life change or crisis occurs.
