Please call Pesek Counseling at 205-624-3076 to verify my availability to take new clients at the time of your call. I am passionate about supporting the growth or rediscovery of hope in my clients. I counsel adolescents and adults with concerns including depression, anxieties, mood instability, behavioral problems, difficult transitions, relationship dynamics, and issues related to stress and trauma.
I have rich experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, where I have worked with clients to address mild to severe mental health concerns as well as individuals who need support managing stress or major life transitions. I was trained in EMDR in 2022 and am now an EMDR Certified Therapist.
I utilize a collaborative and integrative approach to counseling to help clients grow and progress toward their therapeutic goals. I meet clients where they are and journey with them in learning new skills, building overall mental health, and strengthening resilience and hope.
