20 years offering treatment
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Alabama with over 20 years experience working with clients in my private practice and addictions treatment programs. My clients have come from all walks of life and have ranged in age from teens to seniors with problems that were fairly simple to solve to very complex issues that needed thoughtful exploration and innovative solutions. Because I am also a Registered Nurse, some clients have chosen to work with me around accepting and managing a medical problem that they or a loved one are learning to better manage. My approach to therapy is based in my interest in Jung and Adler while my style is founded in a typically Rogerian, client-centered warm approach. My training in Cognitive based therapy leads me to lean into using CBT techniques when the problems presented lend themselves to this approach. Because each person is different, I tend to match my approach to the person seeking help while always believing that my first responsibility is to listen because healing begins with the telling of the story. It takes courage to tell one's story to another and if you choose me to hear your story and journey with you to your answers, I promise to always keep your best interest top of mind and heart. I look forward to meeting you.

My name is Rasheda Long. I am an Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of AL and TN. I have been in mental health for 6 years. I started out as a school based therapist in Huntsville City Schools and God transitioned me to community mental health in Fayetteville, TN where I have worked 4.8 years. I currently do contract work while also supporting my private practice. I have worked with clients age 3 and up dealing with issues such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar/mood disorders, grief, familial issues, confidence/esteem issues, attachment, and more. I have used interventions to include CBT, TF-CBT, solution-focused therapy and more. I truly believe that everyone has at least one strength no matter how small it may seem. I strive to assist clients in being able to utilize this strength in navigating their mental health journey. Clients are the expert on their life and I work as the "assistant professor" to help them navigate it when they're unable to. With empathy, compassion, and straightforwardness, I look forward to working with you as we word towards your therapy goals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Alabama. Additionally, I have devoted 12 years of my professional career to the field of mental health, focusing on providing care to both teenagers and adults facing a wide range of challenges. I firmly believe that therapy offers a dedicated space for problem-solving and healing. It serves as a beacon of HOPE and new beginnings. Within a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship, individuals can find structure to build their strengths, gather support and resources. Furthermore, it is a nurturing environment for personal growth and self-discovery. My approach involves skillfully guiding clients in setting clear goals while remaining flexible to what you need. I strive to create a non-judgmental environment, fostering your comfort in sharing your thoughts and feelings. I firmly believe in the resilience of individuals to overcome their obstacles, but often, they require guidance, understanding, and insight to identify and navigate the barriers that are hindering their progress. I ask questions to explore deeper insights and readily acknowledge recurring patterns. I will assist you in evaluating how your relationships and community can either contribute to challenges or offer solutions. Together, we will examine behaviors and beliefs to discern their utility in your life.
