Therapists in Birmingham, AL

We each have our individual struggles which can prevent us from moving forward in our lives. Do you deal with overwhelming feelings of anxiety, guilt, or shame? Do you struggle with your identity or self-esteem? Are you looking to learn more about yourself and find ways that you can live life more authentically and with less fear? I'm here to assist you in identifying those unique needs and constructing a plan that enhances your strengths while supporting you to make the changes you want in life. I'm a therapist who values transparency. I want my clients to feel they never have to guess what I'm thinking.

I believe that connection is the heart of counseling. My goal is to create a space where clients can feel safe being vulnerable. I want to empower my clients to be their truest, most genuine self while equipping them with the tools they need to make lasting positive change in their life.

Hello. I'm Tori. I'm so glad you are here. As a professional counselor, my goal is to help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings, feel less alone, and create the changes you want in yourself.

I work from a social justice and feminist framework. I am a CCTP Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

Have you ever wondered where that anger comes from, or why you can't seem to shake that feeling of guilt or self-deception that keeps getting the best of you? My approach centers around understanding where we get our anxiety and how we can work to create a better sense of calm in our lives. Every person struggles throughout their life to hold onto the positive relationships and the warmth and belonging of their families, but sometimes life throws us so many curves that we swing and swing until we're hot with rage or blue with sadness.

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, my goal is to collaborate with clients in an empathetic and non-judgmental space.

I am dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming space for my clients to come sit on my couch and tell me what is going on. My approach to therapy follows the idea that everyone has a toolkit that is always accessible to them. Therapy is a means to add new tools, sharpen existing ones, and shed old tools we no longer need that weigh us down within our accessible toolkit. I, therefore, aim to align my understanding of your life to find a holistic means to help you to the best of your abilities. I am accepting of all walks of life and any needs specific to your individual lived in experiences.

Does life sometimes feel overwhelming and stressful? Have you noticed when just one thing in life is out of balance it can spill over into other areas too? This imbalance affects our moods and behaviors, our relationships and interactions with others personally and professionally. This does not just affect adults, it's affecting our youth and our children. The good thing is there is hope and resolution you already have access to, but perhaps haven't been able to tap into.. just yet.
