Therapists for Teens in Mountain Brook, AL

Beginning the journey to finding healing and wholeness can be scary. That’s why I believe in partnering with clients to guide them through the process of growing, learning, and becoming themselves. I use trauma-informed individual talk therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients reach their goals in a confidential and welcoming atmosphere. I strongly believe that all people have the right and potential to heal and grow and I look to empower all clients through the use of evidence-based practice.

There is so much beauty in being honest and vulnerable. As a therapist, it is a privilege to be able to create a safe space for my clients—a space that gives them an opportunity to build strength, awareness, and resilience. Seeking therapy does not indicate failure or brokenness and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you navigate your life journey.

Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated or lost is normal, but you don't have to be alone with those feelings. While it's human to face stormy seas and overwhelming obstacles, it's also uniquely human to open ourselves up to help. If you're ready to receive some help, feel supported and start working towards the life you want, you're at the right place! Finding a professional counselor who can listen and provide support is a great first step.

I believe counseling is a process, and deeper inner work can only occur through a strong therapeutic alliance. This means that I highly value my relationship with my clients and their autonomy in the therapy process. I have a trauma-informed perspective, and I work to provide clients with a variety of techniques that best align with their wants and needs.

There is no shortage of reasons one might begin the search for counseling. You might be experiencing anxiety and depression. You could be dealing with loss and grief. Perhaps you are going through a season of change or struggling to navigate a relationship. You might simply be looking to grow in your mental health. Whether you know exactly what is going on or you need help figuring it out, seeking out counseling is a brave step. Counseling offers a safe place to take the many parts of our lives and piece them together to make a clearer picture.

Is your life filled with stress and worries? Are you struggling with past or recent hurts? Does it feel like your family or relationships are in disarray? Have you noticed parenting is not easy? Add in aspects such as anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, neglect, etc. and life can feel overwhelming. Sometimes we are worried about seeking help or don't know where to start. Therapy is a step toward healing and hope for change.

If you’re experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems or relationship conflict, you're not alone. I specialize in working with people like yourself who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or less than while navigating life - young adulthood, marriage, parenting, trauma and loss - and who are searching for unconditional support and a professional perspective. I’m passionate about helping individuals, couples and families identify their strengths and build resiliency that will result in improved emotions, better coping skills and more fulfilling relationships. Reaching out here is your first step in personal growth.

Life is hard! We all need support at times for various reasons. Good for you for seeking out that support for yourself. The only way to really love others through ‘their mess’ is to first learn to love ourselves through our own. My hope is to reach you where you are and uplift you through open communication and affirming sessions that assist you towards self-actualization. I am here as a facilitator if you’re searching for a safe and comforting place to land. I hope to be given the opportunity to help you achieve your goal of a healthier version of self!

All are equal with needs specific and unique. I believe in the ongoing development and resilience of the human mind, body and spirit. I seek to help children, adolescents, and adults of all cultural backgrounds. Adapting to change, traumatic, and everyday experiences is critical.

Life can be challenging. Everyone needs someone who will listen to them and help manage their day to day issues or long term problems. The negative stigma of "mental health" has dissipated in recent years and more and more people are taking advantage of getting their mental and emotional needs met through therapy. Take the first step and reach out for help. I want to help you.

When we can accept the past, we no longer have the need for a different present. (Douglas Abrams, The Book of Joy). I have worked in mental health for over the past 15 years. My experience has been diverse and has brought to the place that I am now. I use a Client centered approach and believe in individualizing therapy for each of my Clients. One size does not fit all in the world of therapy. I view therapy as a form of self care and preventative health care. I try to change the perspective of mental health treatment and therapy and often work with Clients that are entering therapy for the first time.

Hi, you are so brave to take the first step in the counseling journey. This world can be unkind, confusing, and overwhelming and there are times when we all need someone to help us navigate it. For almost 20 years I have been helping individuals and families find healing on their journey. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, grief or trauma, your story is welcome.

Hi, I'm Beverly. I’m glad that you've made your way to this page in your search for solutions. I know that God has them for you and that you're not alone. Life’s problems, including mental health issues, are real, common, and treatable. Recovery is possible. In therapy with me, every single part of you is welcome. Our therapy sessions are a place for you to lay your burdens down and be refreshed and renewed. It's likely we will laugh a lot, and we may also cry. Each of us is different and multifaceted. I'm interested in seeing the real you shine and in helping you see it too.

Mental health is an important component of living a fulfilled life. As people grow, their mental health needs change based on their experiences. I believe in the power of informing and working to address those needs through therapy.

I work with individuals who want to talk to someone in a safe, confidential, encouraging setting. I see adults, adolescents, and couples working through a wide range of issues. Specifically, I see individuals who are dealing with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive issues, pain management, or weight management. A lot of my clients are dealing with life transitions and many are needing to make major life decisions. I also work with those who have typical life stressors in work, school, or home and find it extremely helpful to use therapy as a way to maintain positive mental health.

Life can be hard, but you don’t have to struggle alone. Every season of life brings with it a mixture of joy and pain as well as unique challenges and uncharted emotions. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, unequipped or just in need of support and acceptance in a non-judgmental environment, you have come to the right place. I believe a safe and comfortable therapy environment in which you feel understood, respected and valued provides the best place for you to receive objective feedback to move toward growth. My counseling style is engaging, warm and client-focused with an approach that combines CBT and solution-focused therapy.

Everyone has a story to tell and everyone needs to learn how to know and tell their story more fully. Do you want to know how to tell your story more fully? Does your story cause you to feel anxious? Are you struggling to make sense of life? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else? As Maya Angelou says “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here. I would love to work with you.

Taking the first step into therapy can be intimidating. Being vulnerable with a complete stranger isn't the most comforting thought. It is my goal to provide an environment that allows you to feel safe to show up and be authentic without fear of judgement. We are all human beings and need help from time to time. My approach to counseling is a collaborative effort aimed at increasing self-awareness and establishing a sense of empowerment in your own life. I focus on meeting clients where they are and facilitating positive change for a healthy, successful life.
