Therapists in Fairhope, AL

UPDATE as of 9/7/23... I currently am NOT able to take on new clients. I appreciate your interest and apologize for any inconvenience this may create. I DO have availability with my MFT student/intern. Please reach out to be seen by him. We all struggle in life sometimes and need help! In this day and age it can be hard to find the space to discuss the challenges of life with someone in a safe and genuine way. I enjoy meeting people where they are at in life, without judgement, and helping them sort out their next steps whether they be for improvement, maintenance, or understanding.

​Though my area of specialization have been in trauma recovery and play therapy with children, teens, and adults, I also have had successful experience working with the following, in no particular order: Depression, Anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Sensory Processing Disorders, ADD/ ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Grief/ Loss, Life Transitions, Behavior Management, Parenting Concerns, Hoarding, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Sessions are conducted indiividually, in family sessions, and also as couples.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide therapy for families, couples, and individuals using an holistic approach, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution Focused, and Family Systems Therapy with a goal to resolve core conflicts, develop healthy cognitive patterns and find solutions to overcome such issues as anxiety, panic, depression, PTSD, trauma, stress, relationship issues and other life changing events.

Are you a parent frustrated by your child's hyperactivity, battling for control, anger, defiance, or school behavior problems? Has your family experienced transitions like divorce, loss of a loved one, or moving to a new area? As parents, we want our children to be happy, healthy, well-rounded, joyful, and worry-free. We want them to be at peace with themselves and with others, and confident in themselves and their own abilities and aptitudes. Sadly we can't always protect them from broken relationships, hard choices, big challenges and tough losses. Sometimes we need trusted counsel to help navigate storms.

ALL of us (Especially Todays Veterans) have had Experiences or been in Circumstances that can cause over-whelming Emotional Problems: Nightmares, Feelings of Impending Doom, Intense Nervousness and Depression which can leave us feeling out of control... Counseling is a good first step to begin to heal. I offer Assessment and Counseling to address: Personal - Family - Marital 'Life's' Issues and 'Veteran's' Issues (Primarily those that resulted in 'PTSD.'). I will help and encourage you in telling your 'story'. 'Living in-to the events' that caused your distress is essential for you to be able to move on.

Hello! And congratulations on starting your mental health journey. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or one of life’s many transitions, I’m eager to assist you. With a warm and empathetic approach, I create a safe and non-judgmental space for each of my clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. As an LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist, I am committed to providing a supportive and validating environment for individuals who are exploring their gender identity and sexual orientation.

Hiram has over 30 years of clinical counseling experience and the genuine passion for helping people in need. He specializes in individuals, marriage/relationships, and adolescents. Key issues include anxiety/depression, communication, conflict resolution, grief/trauma, divorce, blended families, parenting skills, substance abuse, pornography, infidelity and the mending of trust, ADD for all ages, and anger management issues. It does take a great amount of courage to reach out. Counseling helps to empower you in overcoming and/or managing life's numerous painful challenges.

Feeling emotionally uncomfortable may signal that change is presenting you with an opportunity. But maybe you're not sure what to do about it. Using cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness are what will help us identify old patterns of thinking and acting which may be causing problems for you in the present. My counseling work focuses on you as a whole person and respects the dimensions of mind, body and spirit. This is a safe, confidential place to explore your feelings and expand your options.

Seeking therapy can be an intimidating process! I strive to create a laid-back, peaceful & safe environment to ensure client comfort while laying the groundwork for open communication & growth. With over 15 years of experience, I have worked with individuals from various backgrounds who have experienced a wide range of life challenges including anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship difficulties, parenting, caregiver &/or job-related stress/burnout, low self-esteem & more. I utilize therapeutic interventions, such as cognitive behavioral, client-centered, solution-focused, dialectical behavior therapy & mindfulness training.

I am a licensed professional counselor & national certified counselor who specializes in working with children & adolescents.

I have experience in treating children & teens with a wide variety of mental health concerns . I have trauma focused training in both TF-CBT & Child Parent Psychotherapy(CPP). I strive to create a safe and welcoming atmosphere where both you and your child will feel welcome.

Working with teens and early twenties is my specialty. This age group has unique needs and wants. They are trying to figure out who they are and what they want to pursue in life. Often times certain events or ways of thinking can start to interfere with this stage of maturing. The young people I work with are striving to belong, feel good about themselves and succeed.

I enjoy providing a safe place to explore one's need for clarity. Life presents difficult challenges that we need help with sometimes, and in today's climate of individualism and business, it is hard to naturally find this safe place. I do my best to encourage clients to embrace truths that will move them into a more peaceful existence. Being willing to explore one's self is a brave act that deserves honor and respect. I also enjoy group experiences as I have observed our nature to encourage one another in our process.

Psychotherapy is a process of exploration, discovery and growth. I work with clients who want to learn more about themselves in a safe, caring and challenging environment. Whether you are in crisis, have overwhelming stress, anxiety/depression or are just in need of support and facilitation.

It's easy to feel stressed, depressed, anxious, or like you are just generally unable to cope with everything. Circumstances in life can lead people to feeling unvalued, unheard, and overwhelmed. I use a holistic approach to help my clients get back to feeling their best mentally, physically, and spiritually. I want everyone to feel like they are in control of their lives and able to cope with the things that come their way. My goal as a therapist, and as a person, is to always make sure that everyone feels welcomed, valued, and accepted.

I want you to be successful in your personal life as well as your professional/ business life. We will begin with your current symptoms, dysfunctions, or just plain unhappiness. 98% of the time we are the walking wounded trying to function as if we are "fine" and nothing is "bothering me". This state of constant repression of our emotions will cause anxiety, depression, physical illness, phobias, and eventually an event will happen that leads to emotional crisis....the proverbial last straw.
