Hi, I'm William Lockhart, LPC. However, I go by Lee. I had sadistic parents who named me one thing and called me something else. I'm licensed in Alabama as an LPC. My license number is 2936. In my 16+ years of practice, I have worked with almost every type of client and an array of issues, though my primary focus has been on clients with substance use issues and mood disorders. I have a generally directive approach while fully respecting your right to choose and live your life as you see fit. I primarily work from a Cognitive Behavioral, Person-Centered, and Solution-Focused frame of reference.

Hello, I am Whitney Jefferson, LICSW. I like to keep my clients the focus of each season by identifying their needs and aligning them with their goals. I typically use solution-focused and cognitive behavior types of therapy. I am comfortable talking through difficult life decisions, anxiety, and depression. I create a warm and inviting environment for clients to be themselves and talk about their heart's desires. Each client should expect to walk away feeling refreshed and excited about future sessions. I first identify the clients needs, then I collaborate with the client on a plan to reach each achievable goals.

I think of a therapist as a wise guide who enters into the life of another human at a time of crisis and provides a compassionate, safe environment in which a person can experience himself more fully - explore, identify, and take initiatives to lessen the causes of her distress. The ideal therapist is one who, above all else, is an advocate for the freedom and well-being of another. The therapist, like spiritual guides of old, offers a balance of acceptance and challenge in helping the person become her best self. By challenge, I mean holding an individual accountable to himself and his potential for purposeful, dynamic living.

The two goals I am passionate about when working with clients are "Being a Catalyst for Change" and "Empowering individuals and families to function in healthier relationships, as well as healthier, happier lives." Too often people walk around numb, fearful and stuck in their lives and relationships. It is my belief that you have the capacity to move towards living an abundant and authentic life. My job is to walk alongside you to challenge and inspire you in your journey.

Therapists often give homework...I give you the framework for a successful relationship so you can give yourself the homework that works best for you so that "therapy" continues without me. Yes, communication does fall apart, but the underlying problem is the emotional reactions you have toward each other. I provide you a specific relationship action plan designed to improve communication, resolve conflict more effectively and rebuild trust in your relationship.

Daily changes can make the journey through life transitions difficult at times. The pathway can be impeded with barriers and obstacles that create a sense of helplessness and hopelessness. I allow the client to freely acknowledge their need for help and allow the patient to accept the responsibility to take charge and conquer their circumstances. I will enable the client to develop the tools needed to make positive life adjustments.
