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.

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.

I recognize the courage that seeking help requires, and I am honored be a part of your healing journey. To me, this is much more than a job or even a career. This is my life’s calling. I specialize in helping people recover from various traumas and effects of trauma including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I also specialize in helping neurodivergent individuals, including diagnosis and treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I enjoy respectful collaboration to encourage you to discover and build on your inner resources and strengths. I incorporate evidence-based approaches including Psychological Evaluations, Interpersonal Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD. Every person has a unique and important purpose, and I look forward to helping you discover yours. I am a genuine and compassionate person who can also be direct with you if you need a little challenge; yet, my style is gentle enough that you may not even realize you are being challenged! People tend to open up and feel at ease with me, and benefit from improved insight and perspective with my questions which guide you to better understand yourself, your life direction, values, strengths, and purpose.
