Yes. we see clients throughout Alabama, and sometimes it is easier to meet virtually than driving a long distance, and it helps when there are storms or other extreme weather. We can do any session virtually or in-person.
We do not charge for a consultation. That is a time for us to get to know you better, and for you to ask any questions you may have and for us to answer them.
We each have our own unique approach, modalities, and skillsets. Above all though, our approaches are grounded in empathy, warmth, and authenticity. We believe that genuine connection and trust are the cornerstones of effective therapy. Our main goal is to create an environment where you feel supported, understood, and empowered. No matter where you are on your path, know that you don't have to navigate it alone. We are here to offer guidance, support, and encouragement every step of the way.

Absolutely. It is one of the best things we have done and has been really beneficial in our lives. It is part of what makes us believe in the service we provide.
We believe there are an almost infinite amount of benefits to therapy. We think it can be really helpful to speak to someone who will listen and be your ally and not judge you. As humans, we are capable of internalizing so much negativity and pain. Life is hard enough as it is. Sometimes it feels good to let it all out.
We want you to feel free to ask them anytime. During our initial consultation, during the first session, whenever you feel like it. It is our job to answer your questions so please do not hold back.
One of the most important things in therapy is to have a trusting relationship with your therapist. It may not start out that way, but eventually you want your therapist to be someone that you can trust and that you know respects you and what you are going through. Although we really enjoy being therapists and believe in the services we provide, we know that we may not be for everyone. There are a lot of amazing therapists out there. If you decide it's not a good fit, that's okay! We will be happy to provide you with a referral. Therapy is about you completely. Your time and money are valuable, and you deserve the best therapist that is right for you.
It is perfectly normal, and you are not alone. It is incredibly anxiety-inducing to share deep and painful things with someone you barely know. We strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment to make you comfortable, but it is normal and valid to be afraid.
Yes. Confidentiality is at the heart of therapy. The things you tell us never leave the room. For therapy to work, there needs to be trust and safety and privacy, and that cannot exist if your information is not protected. That is of the utmost importance.
By law and professional ethics, there are a few times where confidentiality can be broken. 1. If a therapist has reason to suspect you are a danger to yourself or someone else. 2. If the therapist suspects present or past abuse of children or the elderly. 3. By order of a judge. Before we begin, we will discuss confidentiality at length.
The answer to that is different for everyone, and it is really up to you. Everyone goes through difficult challenges in life, and it can be beneficial to have a helping hand. Coming to therapy is brave, and being able to admit that we need help from time to time is admirable. Beginning therapy shows a commitment to change. Therapy can provide long-lasting benefits , giving you some extra tools to navigate challenges and everyday life, improve quality of life, and think about things differently.
At the end of each session, we will make sure to have the following session scheduled. All cancellations require 48-hour notice or you will be billed for the full session. We understand that at times it may be necessary to cancel an appointment. However, due to the limited number of clients we are able to see on a regular basis, it is especially important for current clients to be as committed as much as possible to their time slots.
