Hello! I am Sandra. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in the state of Alabama. I graduated with a Master of Science with my degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling from California State University over twenty years ago. I hold an Advanced Alcohol and Drug Certification along with my Marriage and Family Therapist license. I have worked with clients struggling with a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, grief, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and addictions. Whether you are looking for a Therapist for a short-term issue (Solution Focused) or long-term "unraveling" of past issues (Psychodynamic), I have a myriad of evidence-based approaches in my toolkit. Regardless of the approach, you will find me Person-Centered. The Therapeutic alliance between me as the Therapist and you as the client must be one of trust and empathy, or we will not be able to work. I welcome the opportunity to work with you as an individual or come beside couples and families as they walk through the issues of life. Upon request, I will be happy to incorporate your Faith into our sessions and solutions. I have a Doctorate of Ministry in Pastoral Counseling. My education, professional and personal experiences have provided me with insight and understanding to work with a variety of issues. Let's talk about what is bothering you- Anxiety/Stress, Grief, Depression, Addictions, Self Esteem, Family or Parenting Issues, Relationships, Career Difficulties, and life choices.

Hi! My name is Amanda and I am a licensed counselor in the Alabama. I have worked in the mental health field for sixteen years and have provided counseling services for the last 10+ years. I have worked mostly with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. However I do also have experience in helping others in processing grief and loss, family conflict, and forgiveness. My experience has been with adults, children, and adolescents. I believe that everyone can benefit from counseling and that it can be beneficial to anyone looking for change within or outside of themselves. We all struggle with something and having your own personal guide to help you through those struggles can make it easier. I believe in treating everyone with respect and not defining someone with a label. You will find that I initiate therapy with a warm and inviting approach to help you feel more comfortable and to know that I am not here to judge you but am here to help you. The approaches I utilize most often in therapy are a person-centered approach, a cognitive-behavioral approach, a solution-focused approach, or motivational interviewing. However, I do have experience in other approaches and will tailor my approach to what would benefit you the most in counseling. It takes courage to take that first step but know that I will be here to help you through the struggles you are facing when you are ready. I will help guide you through the therapeutic process and will work with you to achieve your therapeutic goals. I hope to hear from you soon and I look forward to working with you.
