Christopher Jason Pope
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Hi there!
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 22 years of professional experience working as a mental health clinician in many areas throughout the field of mental health counseling, therapy, and other human services-related fields. I am currently licensed and/or have been licensed in Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Mississippi. With the new multi-state Counseling Compact set to go live in 2024, I will have the ability to provide care to clients in all states who are a part of that compact, both insured and private pay.
My fundamental approach is through the lens of existential philosophy with a solution-focused approach and a strong emphasis on values as a driving factor with respect to our daily behaviors and decision-making processes. Therefore, I consider a holistic approach to life challenges and maladaptive/problematic behaviors when considering the various modalities at my disposal including solution-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, existential therapy, narrative therapy, reality therapy, family systems therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy, positive psychology, sports psychology, industrial psychology, and holistic/whole body/wellness therapy approaches.
I have experience in helping clients/couples with relationship issues, communication, establishing and maintaining deep connection & intimacy, finding purpose & meaning, learning mindfulness skills, learning coping skills for depression & anxiety, learning stress reduction techniques, improving motivation, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth.
I partner (I'm not the expert on your life, YOU are!) with my clients to create an open and safe environment to hold a space for you where thoughts, emotions, issues, challenges, and problems can be shared without fear of judgment. I simply help you to regain agency over your life, and help you become more autonomous & empowered in order for you to make solid choices and decisions that are aligned with your core values and beliefs.
In doing that, you are able to live into the answers to the questions regarding the various challenges you face in life. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling joyful life and to take the first steps towards meaningful change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey, instilling autonomy in you so you are confident in your own ability to face life and its many challenges.
I can say without knowing you that I believe in you because we are all human, and I believe we are all capable of positive change and creating the life we value and envision. Life is always about the journey, not the destination. We never stop learning. Life is also the teacher. It has a lot to teach us, and there is always much to learn. Each day is a gift and another chance to do that very thing.
So I want you to start this day with hope and a belief in yourself. As long as you have a willingness to make changes, and a commitment to the process and of doing the work that needs to be done, you will find success.
Best of luck to you on this journey, and many blessings in the coming days.

Dr. Trey Cole
Psychologist, Psy.D., ABPP, DAAETS
It is my belief that we all have an innate desire to connect, feel heard, and be understood. My therapeutic approach is grounded in this belief, and it is my hope that we will create a meaningful therapy that is validating and encouraging, yet simultaneously challenging enough to be a catalyst for meaningful growth.

Erika Gray
Psychologist, Psy.D
Why is it so hard to find a therapist? So many people arrive here exhausted from the search. I understand that your connection to your therapist is paramount to your healing. I offer a free consultation to give you a chance to see if we're a good "fit" with the hope that this can be a place to stop, rest and begin the process you've been longing to begin.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
Many women find themselves struggling in their relationships with others and themselves.
You may find yourself working so hard to please everyone else that you lose sight of what you want and need. You also may find yourself stuck in the same dating or relationship patterns that leave you feeling disconnected and unsatisfied.
As a result, you may struggle to feel fully present in your life or feel like you’re repeating past patterns in your dating life, relationships, and daily life. You may start to second guess yourself or focus on what others think instead of what you feel is right for you.
These patterns may leave you feeling “not good enough” and wondering if you’ll ever figure out how to live the life you desire.
Fortunately, you can overcome these challenges to create lasting, healthy, and fulfilling connections with yourself and others with therapy that’s designed to meet your unique needs.
