Women's Issues
Alabaster Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Being a woman is a profound and layered experience, and the mental health concerns that come with it deserve specialized care from someone who truly understands. At Alabaster Counseling, women's issues are not just a specialty we offer. They are the heartbeat of everything we do. We were created specifically to serve girls and women, and we bring over a decade of dedicated experience in supporting women through the emotional, psychological, and relational challenges unique to the female experience. From hormonal changes, body image, and postpartum struggles, to trauma, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and the quiet but persistent feeling that you have lost yourself somewhere along the way, we see it all, and we meet every client with warmth, expertise, and unwavering compassion. Whether you are a young girl learning to navigate her emotions for the first time, a teenager finding her voice, or a woman carrying years of experiences that have never had a safe place to land, Alabaster Counseling was built for you. You deserve a therapist who gets it. We do.

A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Women are often taught to be accommodating, capable, nurturing, and available to everyone around them, sometimes at the expense of knowing and honoring themselves. You may be balancing relationships, career, family, caregiving, changing roles, body image, societal expectations, or the pressure to somehow do everything and do it well. I work with women who are tired of shrinking themselves, questioning their worth, feeling guilty for having needs, or becoming who everyone else expects them to be. Therapy is an opportunity to reconnect with your own voice, explore what you actually want, strengthen your boundaries, and develop greater self-compassion and confidence. You are allowed to build a life that doesn’t just look good to everyone else, but actually feels good to you.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Women’s issues often involve navigating overlapping expectations related to work, caregiving, relationships, and identity. Many of the women I work with find themselves managing competing roles while feeling pressure to hold everything together. In our work together, we focus on clarifying what matters most to you, understanding how these pressures shape your responses, and developing ways of living that feel more balanced, sustainable, and aligned with your values.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hey Survivor, are you tired of feeling guilty and overwhelmed all the time? Everyone else seems so together and you're stuck battling your past? I get it. My name is Rebecca Castle-Waller and I help badass women with trauma become present in their lives and in their relationships, so you can actually enjoy this life you've built.
Many of my clients grew up in chaotic and unstable homes where from a young age they started taking care of others. Making meals, waking their parents up for work, getting their siblings off to school. From there, you went on to take care of your partner and your kiddos while also working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Now with work and relationships and family drama and life you feel constantly stressed out and like you should be doing more. Oh, and you're doing all of this while facing nightmares, flashbacks, numbness, random waves of anger, and the like. Who's taking care of you?
Let's give you a space where you can be your messy, imperfect self so you can finally take care of you. It's time to heal your trauma, you've built an amazing life and you deserve to actually live it.
