Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
In my online therapy practice, I specialize in EMDR therapy as a transformative approach to assist individuals in their journey towards healing from trauma and narcissistic abuse, ultimately guiding them back to a place of self-love and emotional equilibrium. The lingering effects of childhood physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, along with the enduring impact of narcissistic abuse, can become deeply entrenched within the body, leading to symptoms of depression, anxiety, hypervigilance, and challenges in navigating relationships and daily life.
I employ a video platform known as remotEMDR, which is specifically designed to facilitate EMDR therapy. This innovative approach aims to reshape the way these distressing memories are stored in the brain, fostering resolution and inner peace. To complement this therapy, I incorporate mind-body practices such as mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork, all of which serve to amplify the healing process.
Drawing on my background as a neuropsychologist, I possess the expertise to help individuals identify their blind spots, condition their thoughts, and ultimately rewire their brains for enduring happiness and success. My mission is to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to healing that empowers individuals on their path to transformation and well-being.

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You’re busy. You’re thoughtful. You’re holding it together—but inside, you might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or just tired of managing so much on your own. Whether you’re working from home, on the go, or simply craving support that fits into your life, online therapy can help you reconnect—with yourself, your goals, and your sense of ease.
I’m Dr. Megan Marks, a licensed psychologist and owner of The Momentum Practice. I specialize in working with high-achieving adults, neurodivergent folks (especially those with ADHD), and anyone navigating stress, life transitions, or relationship challenges. In our virtual sessions, you’ll find a space that’s affirming, practical, and tailored to you—not just your problems.
Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded in real-world tools, cultural responsiveness, and a good dose of insight (and yes, sometimes humor). Whether you're unpacking old patterns, building new habits, or learning how to rest without guilt, you don’t have to do it alone.
Virtual therapy at The Momentum Practice is just as affirming, collaborative, and effective as in-person work. Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, ADHD, or major life transitions, online therapy offers the flexibility to get support without sacrificing connection or privacy.
You deserve a space that helps you feel more like yourself—not just functioning, but fulfilled. Let’s build some momentum. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Like many of you, the pandemic profoundly impacted the way I live and work. I moved my practice completely online in the face of COVID restrictions and have not returned to in person work. I was impressed with the way that online therapy offered clients many more options for their work with me and I found clients able to keep up with their sessions consistently and reliably with more connection options open to them. Via safe and secure telehealth sessions, I offer parent consultation for kiddos under 10, online therapy with older kids, teens and families and individual therapy for adults, specializing in trauma and trauma focused therapies.

Birmingham carries one of the most significant civil rights legacies of any American city — the site of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing and pivotal moments in the fight for racial justice — and this history creates a distinctive context in which racial identity, historical trauma, and community resilience are active themes in local therapy culture. The city is home to UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham), one of the country's premier academic medical centers, which anchors significant mental health research, training, and clinical infrastructure. Birmingham's African American community — which comprises a majority of the city's population — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. The broader Birmingham metro's mix of healthcare, finance, and manufacturing industries creates diverse occupational therapy demand across a metropolitan area larger than the city itself.
