Dr. Jason Reasor
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!
Vicki Farley
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.

Sabrina Shaw
Hello and welcome. My name is Sabrina, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). While I work with individuals, couples, and families, my training is rooted in a relational approach to therapy. I believe our relationships—with partners, family members, friends, and even ourselves—play a powerful role in shaping our experiences, emotions, and patterns of behavior. Together, we can explore those patterns, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, communication difficulties, family conflict, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, emotional regulation, and personal growth. I also have experience working with individuals navigating recovery, women facing major life changes, adolescents and young adults, and those struggling with the impact of difficult family dynamics. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working in Emergency Medical Services, where I gained firsthand experience supporting people through crisis, trauma, loss, and some of life's most difficult moments. That background continues to inform my work today, allowing me to approach clients with both compassion and practical understanding. I have a particular appreciation for the unique challenges faced by first responders, healthcare professionals, caregivers, and others working in high-stress helping professions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches while recognizing that no two people are the same. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and understood while also being encouraged to challenge unhelpful patterns and move toward their goals. Whether you are facing a specific challenge, feeling stuck in recurring patterns, experiencing difficulties in your relationships, or simply looking for support and personal growth, therapy can provide an opportunity to gain insight, build resilience, and develop healthier ways of coping and connecting. Taking the first step toward change can be difficult, but you don't have to do it alone. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing, growth, and stronger relationships.
