Existential / Humanistic Therapy
Dr. Samuel Hawkins, Praxis Counseling & Consulting
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ph.D., LPC
I started Praxis as a way to connect with clients seeking a counselor who sees both emotions and thinking as critical to the therapeutic process. I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment in which we can examine and explore our feelings about our life, and what changes to thinking, attitudes, or habits can help. My aim is to offer a flexible approach that is responsive to the specific background, experiences, and needs of each client. My experiences and training make me especially well suited for working with couples in conflict, complicated families, high-performing professionals with busy careers, engineers and scientists, and persons with questions about spirituality, meaning, and purpose.

Amy L. Holdbrooks, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, ALC, BSW
Many believe expressing your feelings is a sign of weakness, creating a stigma surrounding mental health. However, the exact opposite is true! Knowing when to ask for help shows courage, strength, and wisdom. Physical and emotional health are tightly intertwined. When we know precisely what is wrong, we can face the problem head-on, allowing us to see firsthand that knowledge is power!
I was first introduced to depression and anxiety through a wiry, slightly rumpled, highly cantankerous psychology professor when I was only 19 years old. I will never forget that lecture as long as I live. As he presented the 'day’s topic,' he peered intently around the room as if he could read our very thoughts. Then, he threw down his book and left the room without warning, leaving us there in stunned silence. After what seemed like an hour (probably only five minutes), he returned with 25 lb. weights strapped to each arm and leg and a pack filled with two 50 lbs. fastened to his back. As he began to lecture, he proceeded to pace up and down each row of the classroom. He was not a young man, and as he talked, he became winded and was forced to stop and catch his breath. He was an excellent orator, by history, but on this day, he seemed entirely out of his comfort zone. He was confused, preoccupied, stressed, and somewhat fragile. As the class concluded and we began to slowly make our way to the door, the professor said, “Oh, and by the way, living with depression and anxiety is much like trying to do a simple daily task with over 200 lbs. of weight strapped to your very soul. Now, go and have a good evening.”
Having struggled with depression and anxiety throughout my adult life, and now as a counselor, I will have to say that the professor’s illustration was prophetically spot on! In fact, it was brilliant!

Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel peaceful and content, but instead you find yourself feeling: overwhelmed by stress, totally burned out, or even debilitated by anxiety. It’s been hard for you to manage the emotional toll of constant and often unrealistic demands. You can rarely find a moment to stop and catch your breath. Each day feels like you are being stretched a bit thinner and you wonder how much you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus and I help ambitious women find relief from stress, burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional pain. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

I possess grandiose expertise in listening, absorbing and analyzing human problems without prejudice.

My professional background makes me capable of being a great confidant and less judgmental. My sense of humor often gives my clients a soothing sigh of relief, irrespective of the burden at hand.

Huntsville is one of the most economically anomalous cities in the American South — anchored by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, the US Army's Redstone Arsenal, and a massive aerospace and defense industry cluster — creating a highly educated, well-compensated population with therapy demand centered on high-stakes career stress, security clearance-related anxiety, and the unique pressures of working in national security-adjacent roles. The city has grown dramatically in recent decades, attracting transplants from across the country, and therapists frequently address the social isolation and adjustment challenges of a fast-growing city where community roots are shallow for many residents. Huntsville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Huntsville's unusual demographic profile — high concentration of STEM professionals, veterans, and military contractors — gives its therapy community a distinctive character compared to other Southern cities of similar size.
