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.

Váthos Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, ALC, NCC, MA
Váthos Counseling – Therapy for Individuals, Adolescents, and Families in Birmingham
I am passionate about helping adults heal from the lasting impact of childhood trauma, parental loss, narcissistic abuse, and the complexities of codependency, especially where it affects self-worth and relationships.
I offer specialized adolescent counseling to support teens navigating identity formation, self-discovery, and emotional regulation. My goal is to help young people build a strong sense of self, increase resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies.
I also work with families affected by generational trauma and enmeshed dynamics, guiding them to break free from dysfunctional patterns and create more authentic, connected relationships.
Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your teen, or your family, I provide a compassionate space where healing and transformation can begin.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
**My practice is currently at full capacity. If you'd like to connect to discuss possibly being added to my waitlist, please feel free to reach out.**
Life can be full of difficult moments, unexpected transitions, and painful relationships. They may leave you feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or as though you’ve lost who you are. You may be finding yourself resorting back to old patterns during times of stress, even if those patterns no longer serve you well. Although you may be feeling stuck, you’re sure that you want things to change. Together, we can walk through your experiences side by side. You deserve a space in which you feel heard and supported, and where we can work towards gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, your experiences, and your relationships.
Clients come to me seeking a therapist who is warm, understanding, and accepting. I always strive to meet you where you are - to follow your pace, to assist you in identifying and navigating the places you feel stuck, and to collaborate with you on moving toward the goals that are important to you.
As a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults, I tailor my approach to fit your current needs, as well as your unique strengths and concerns. You don't have to keep going through this alone. Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to determine if we could be a good fit.

Dr. Allison Williams
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in helping those who are anxious and overwhelmed learn to recognize and honor their needs - it may mean: giving yourself permission to slow down, scale back, set healthy boundaries, go after what you truly want, and be yourself (authentically and unapologetically). As your partner on this journey, I’ll help you muster your strength, foster your self-acceptance, and feel more at ease.
If you’ve always cast aside your own needs to give everyone and everything your all, I want to help you finally get what you deserve: better relationships, self-care, and greater life satisfaction.
