Gregory Smith
Counselor/Therapist, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), BCPC
For the past 21 years, I have been helping people discover the origins of their problems, and to heal from the resulting brokenness. Very often the brokeness began long before the symptoms and life struggles manifested. For individuals who have had adverse experiences that required dissociation to survive their traumas, finding the right therapist is not easy. My many years of working with traumatized individuals as a Pastoral Counselor combined with my clinical training has enabled me to help many heal and fully recover from their PTSD and dissociation. I provide a non judgmental approach to help people heal and recover so that they can live productive lives. My pastoral experience and Christian training enables me to help the whole person.

Dr. Samuel Hawkins, Praxis Counseling & Consulting
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ph.D., LPC
I started Praxis as a way to connect with clients seeking a counselor who sees both emotions and thinking as critical to the therapeutic process. I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment in which we can examine and explore our feelings about our life, and what changes to thinking, attitudes, or habits can help. My aim is to offer a flexible approach that is responsive to the specific background, experiences, and needs of each client. My experiences and training make me especially well suited for working with couples in conflict, complicated families, high-performing professionals with busy careers, engineers and scientists, and persons with questions about spirituality, meaning, and purpose.

Amy L. Holdbrooks, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, ALC, BSW
Many believe expressing your feelings is a sign of weakness, creating a stigma surrounding mental health. However, the exact opposite is true! Knowing when to ask for help shows courage, strength, and wisdom. Physical and emotional health are tightly intertwined. When we know precisely what is wrong, we can face the problem head-on, allowing us to see firsthand that knowledge is power!
I was first introduced to depression and anxiety through a wiry, slightly rumpled, highly cantankerous psychology professor when I was only 19 years old. I will never forget that lecture as long as I live. As he presented the 'day’s topic,' he peered intently around the room as if he could read our very thoughts. Then, he threw down his book and left the room without warning, leaving us there in stunned silence. After what seemed like an hour (probably only five minutes), he returned with 25 lb. weights strapped to each arm and leg and a pack filled with two 50 lbs. fastened to his back. As he began to lecture, he proceeded to pace up and down each row of the classroom. He was not a young man, and as he talked, he became winded and was forced to stop and catch his breath. He was an excellent orator, by history, but on this day, he seemed entirely out of his comfort zone. He was confused, preoccupied, stressed, and somewhat fragile. As the class concluded and we began to slowly make our way to the door, the professor said, “Oh, and by the way, living with depression and anxiety is much like trying to do a simple daily task with over 200 lbs. of weight strapped to your very soul. Now, go and have a good evening.”
Having struggled with depression and anxiety throughout my adult life, and now as a counselor, I will have to say that the professor’s illustration was prophetically spot on! In fact, it was brilliant!

Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
My goal as a therapist is to create a safe non-judgemental space for all clients, especially clients who may not click with other therapists such as LGBTQ+, gender diverse, polyamorous or non-monogamous, and kink practicing clients. During our sessions you can be your true self. You don't have to mask with me or hide things about you that you think are weird or unlikeable. Ideally I can help you learn to like those aspects of yourself. You never have to hide important parts of your identity with me because I will never judge you for any reason.

Huntsville is one of the most economically anomalous cities in the American South — anchored by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, the US Army's Redstone Arsenal, and a massive aerospace and defense industry cluster — creating a highly educated, well-compensated population with therapy demand centered on high-stakes career stress, security clearance-related anxiety, and the unique pressures of working in national security-adjacent roles. The city has grown dramatically in recent decades, attracting transplants from across the country, and therapists frequently address the social isolation and adjustment challenges of a fast-growing city where community roots are shallow for many residents. Huntsville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Huntsville's unusual demographic profile — high concentration of STEM professionals, veterans, and military contractors — gives its therapy community a distinctive character compared to other Southern cities of similar size.
