My name is James “Ryan” White. I am a licensed therapist in the state of Alabama. I have been a therapist for more than nine years. I have been licensed for almost 5 years. I specialize in dialectical behavioral therapy. Specifically, DBT informed therapy. What that means for my clients is real solutions to problems quickly using DBT skills. DBT skills allow you to better control and understand your emotions. These skills have worked wonders with my clients with depressive disorders, panic disorders, and PTSD. I specialize in personality disorders as well. Over the years I have worked with adults with mental disorders as well as substance abuse difficulties. I look forward to working with you and helping you to identify goals- so that you can look forward to life after whatever difficulties you’re having now . Remember whatever brings you here is just a chapter of your life it’s not the whole book. Let’s work together to rewrite your story so that you look forward to the days ahead.

I've earned a Doctorate in Healthcare Administration with a 4.0 GPA. I have an Educational Specialist Degree as well as a Masters in Counseling and Educational Administration. I am a national board certified counselor with an extensive background working with clients who have experienced trauma. I am a Licensed Professional Counseling Supervisor. I have over twenty-nine years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with a range of concerns. I have worked approximately ten years as a Psychologist/Qualified Mental Health Professional for a local state hospital where individuals receiving services received inpatient treatment from active delusions, paranoid ideations, schizophrenia, and a range of mood disorders. As a Program Director for an outpatient clinic for seven years, there were opportunities to work with adolescents and children with diagnoses such as disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, as well as working with adults facing problems with alcohol and drug usage, unmanaged anger, generalized anxiety, and clinical depression. Other years in my career allowed me to provide a service to children and their families both at a school level and local social service agencies.

I has been counseling individuals and couples since July 2007 while serving as a pastor and spiritual leader. My desire to help people led to me completing my MA in counseling from Midwestern Baptist Seminary and have been working as a professional counselor since August 2018. I recently completed my doctorate in professional counseling from Mississippi College in August 2021. My approach to counseling is holistic in nature and I believe in counseling the “whole” individual (thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and social considerations). I use an integrative design of various counseling theories that utilizes a broad array of both evidence-based and protocol-driven interventions which has shown positive outcomes for individuals experiencing mental health struggles as well as substance abuse clients. I love working with all my clients and have experience with children, adolescents, adults, as well as veterans dealing with trauma. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you to become the best version of yourself!

Hello and thank you for considering me to assist you along life’s journey! My name is Roger Hunter and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Alabama with approximately thirty years of experience. I have held a Master of Science (MS) degree in Clinical Psychology since 1993. During that time, I have worked with a wide range of clients with issues including depression, anxiety, stress, grief and simply coping with life’s constant changes. I enjoy life coaching and helping people reach their full potentials. It is important to me that a climate of complete trust exist between a therapist and his client and I do everything I can to establish and maintain that trust during the time we will be working together. I believe in a warm, non-judgmental approach while seeking the outcomes that are the reasonable desires of my client. I believe in understanding our past but keeping the main focus on what lies ahead. None of us can change our past but all of us can change our future. I look forward to getting to know you, establishing your personal goals and developing strategies to achieve them.

Do you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed or boggled down with everyday stressors and struggles? We have all been there before. I believe that everyone needs a supportive, objective person to talk to when they are struggling and deciding which move to make next. I can be that supportive person for you.

My main goal as a counselor is to make a difference in the lives of others, and hopefully provide you with helpful tools for whatever journey you may be on in your life. I have been in the counseling field since 2005. My roles in life are probably not much different from your own; I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, teacher, coach, and friend.

I am a licensed clinician in Alabama with over five years of professional experience supporting children, adults, and families. I am passionate about meeting clients exactly where they are in life and providing a safe, judgment-free space for growth. My therapeutic style is grounded in a client-centered approach that honors each individual’s right to self-determination, personal values, and lived experiences. As a strong patient advocate, I incorporate data, research, and evidence-based interventions to create meaningful and lasting change. My work focuses on helping clients better understand themselves, manage anxiety, build resilience, and develop practical tools they can immediately apply in their daily lives. I have extensive experience working with ADHD across all ages, and I bring both clinical expertise and personal insight as the mother of a teen with ADHD. I understand the challenges families face and the incredible transformation that can occur with the right diagnosis and individualized treatment plan. Reflecting on my own child’s journey, I often share, “Once he received a diagnosis and started his treatment plan, he became more comfortable with who he is.” This perspective allows me to empathize deeply with parents and children while offering hope, direction, and realistic strategies. Above all, I strive to help each client feel understood, supported, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
