Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Grief feels insurmountable. Even the smallest task may require more emotional energy than the person has to complete the task. Grief affects every other area of a person's life. Grief treatment is primarily person centered. My job as a therapist is to allow my clients to cry or scream or say horrible things about the person they have lost because I won't judge you for anything you say or do. For most people no one else in their lives understands why they are still grieving. Grief and I are old friends. I don't expect you to grieve the same way I do or the same way anyone else does. I just offer you a space to be yourself and say the quiet thoughts out loud.

Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Grief is deeply personal and doesn't follow a predictable timeline. Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a role, or an expected future, therapy offers space to process your experience, honor what matters, and gradually integrate loss into your life.

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.
