Self Psychology Therapists in Huntsville, AL

Do you consider yourself spiritual, empathic, intuitive, creative, deep-thinking, or highly sensitive (HSP)? Do you sometimes struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? If you sense you have wounded inner child defense patterns from the past that block you from moving forward into the authentic self-expression of your needs and aspirations, I invite you into a therapy space where your originality, inner imagery, thoughts, and feelings can lead you towards greater wholeness, strength, and maturity.

For an appointment call (251) 473-3410. Twelve licensed counselors, with offices in Mobile, Fairhope and Atmore, provide specialized treatment for individuals and families impacted by life problems, relationship stress, mental health issues, substance abuse problems, and abuse. We strive to help people in a safe, private, non-judgmental place to work through issues & ultimately find some peace and happiness in life. Our group includes experts in fields of sex therapy, grief counseling, addiction problems and LGBTQ needs.

My goal is to help you identify and resolve issues that may be preventing you from getting more of what you want in life. My style is warm and empathic, yet I can be challenging when it is needed in order to achieve growth.

The focus of my practice is on assisting thoughtful, motivated individuals to deepen self-understanding, alleviate points of pain, and increase capacities for full and contented living.

I aim to build on your strengths (even if you aren't sure you have any!), and help you find clarity in what you want in life, and how to get there. By gaining insight into the origins of your concerns, and patterns in relationships, you can be more intentional in how to engage with others and how to cope better with challenges. I provide honest and direct feedback to my clients, with sensitivity to how you might recieve it. I believe strongly in authenticity and compassion.

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.
