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 work with clients who feel disconnected from others, themselves or life. I specialize in helping people with anxiety, including anxiety caused by trauma, whether it happened recently, in your far past, or both. Psychotherapy starts with the personal connection, so the first step is finding the therapist that is right for you. Once that is achieved, therapy can become a collaborative effort of determining goals, obstacles to reaching those goals, and the best paths forward. Ultimately, finding a therapist that you connect with is the biggest predictor of growth in therapy.

Life inevitably will present challenges and along with them, opportunities for personal growth. As a therapist, I assist individuals in locating their internal compass, so that they can better navigate through life's obstacles. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgemental environment, where I work collaboratively with the client to discover their strengths, along with what may be holding them back from achieving their full emotional and interpersonal potential. Through this therapeutic process, clients can gain insight and move forward in new and more fulfilling ways.

Individuals are often unaware of the many factors that determine their emotions and behavior. My approach fosters self awareness. By better understanding their perceptions about themselves and others, as well as how important experiences have influenced them, clients can change the way they see themselves and the world. They can make informed choices about the way they conduct their present and future lives. My approach is especially suited to getting to the root of long term problems and patterns. The benefits of this approach can be the following:

We all face difficult experiences that can seem unmanageable. You may be struggling with anxiety or depression or with old or new trauma. Perhaps your closest relationships have become a source of stress instead of a source of comfort. Maybe you are experiencing grief and loss. Going through these experiences results in a decline in your general well-being and happiness. My approach offers an in-depth understanding of your struggles to make long lasting changes in your life and relationships.

I am currently virtual only -- I am in Birmingham sporadically. Alongside our struggles are our strengths--strengths that could be hidden in the midst of anxiety, depression, relationships, perfectionism, and more. What we need most when we’re struggling is empathy, affirmation, and collaboration--to feel heard, understood, and not alone. Through therapy together, I will establish the nonjudgmental, supportive space you need to explore your challenges, introducing and reminding you of the strength you have to move forward.

Hi! I am Kayle Lucas. I believe that counseling is a sacred space and opportunity for you to be heard and respected. I am grounded in the belief that people can be motivated towards achieving positive psychological functioning, and this is essential to every therapeutic relationship and provides the basis for change to occur. I believe you are an expert of your experience, your wants, and your needs. I do not believe there is one single approach or theory that works for everyone in every situation. I have a diverse understanding of theories and I incorporate a variety of therapeutic principles to create the best treatment for you.

Therapy is a journey into self-awareness. My private practice, Birmingham Therapy Services LLC, focuses on addressing presenting symptoms that can be a manifestation of our past and current experiences. Creating a safe environment is fundamental to therapeutic success. My role is to help the client identify what skills are needed in order for them to feel safe; this includes gathering an understanding of past and present experiences, resource building, coping skills development, psychoeducation, and discovering ones strengths. This approach is key in preparing a client's nervous system for the deep dive work.

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.

Living an authentic life starts with a knowledge of who we are as human beings. Who are we as a person? What do we expect of ourselves? Where do we find purpose and meaning? How do we get there? Is it too late for me? These are all questions which all of us wrestle with. They are big questions, and our ability to answer them has profound implications on how we live out our lives.

Counseling is much more than problem solving. It's an opportunity to acknowledge your strengths and build on them to help prepare for life's challenges, big and small. I believe that first and foremost, successful counseling is built on trust and connection. Many people who struggle are reluctant to reach out. If you are seeking help you've taken an important first step.

I specialize in addressing the profound impact of childhood family dysfunction, emotional neglect, and trauma on your life. I understand that despite being resilient and high-functioning in education/career pursuits, you may struggle with maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships, leading to potential risks of domestic/intimate partner issues. I am particularly interested in working with individuals who are committed to a journey of emotional self-mastery, which helps them adopt and develop essential self-regulation skills to support their emotional well-being.

You are making the choice to embrace a new empowered you! Realizing that there is strength in finding support, this choice can lead you to a positive path of growth and well-being. Applying integrative therapeutic techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling life. If you're looking for support and guidance through challenging situations or you're ready to move in another direction, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. In a creative atmosphere I can help you uncover your true potential and a life worth celebrating!

As a therapist, I view counseling as a collaborative journey in healing and growth. I strive to provide a comfortable, confidential, and non-judgmental space where clients can engage in an interactive process. I have extensive experience working with anxiety and mood disorders, self-esteem, relationship concerns, family conflict, emotion regulation, self harm, grief and loss, and trauma. Additionally, I'm passionate about working with women and couples who are in the process of trying to conceive, pregnant, or in the postpartum stage of life.
