In Person Therapists in Chilton County, AL

If you have ever suffered a loss that leaves a hole in the pit of your stomach due to losing a loved one, you may be looking for help. Loss is something many experience, but little discuss in depth. When you lose someone you love and care for, you need to have the opportunity to work through those emotions with someone who will listen. Grief can come in many different forms such as: death, disease diagnosis, divorce, and separation. Grief is also compounded when life continues and you are still grieving.

For over 26 years I have been working with people seeking improvements in their personal lives or relationships. I welcome individuals, couples or families from all backgrounds whether their concerns are personal or relational. My approach is “strength-based,” which means that I look for client competencies and resources, and try to avoid pathologizing people because of their problems, past or diagnoses. How often and how long the therapy will last depends on client goals and treatment needs and will be mutually agreed upon. The atmosphere in my office is relaxed and warm, and clients are always treated with dignity and respect.

Having personally experienced pain and struggle, I know how hard life can be. I’ve also felt the benefits of therapy myself, and am grateful for the trusted counselors who’ve helped me connect more deeply with myself, heal wounds from my past, and move forward with greater clarity about what I want for my life and how I want to show up in the world. You are taking a courageous step to seek support as you open yourself up to feel all of the emotions, challenge harmful beliefs, and make difficult choices. I hope your time in therapy will bring growth, healing, and a loving connection to yourself.

Are you tired of the mental mess inside of you? I see you struggling with your relationship with your spouse and children. You are yelling all the time and can't seem to stop. You find yourself over reacting to people and situations and you feel embarrassed when that happens. You feel guilty alot too. It almost feels like you are about to get in trouble all the time. You are beginning to become aware of the wounds inside of you and you fear passing those down to your children. You have been to therapy before and it helped some; but now it's time for a fresh approach that addresses the root of the problem.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor for the state of Alabama. I graduated from Jacksonville State University with a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master's in Counselor Education and from the University of Alabama with an Education Specialist in Counselor Education. I have over 18 years of experience working with children, adolescents, teens, and adults experiencing a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and relationship issues.

Are you struggling to connect and communicate with your spouse or feel hopeless about your relationship with your children? Are you feeling consumed with grief, anxiety, depression, or working through the loss of a loved one? Life often throws us curve balls when we least expect them (divorce, separation, parenting, etc.). I offer you a safe and non judgemental space to help you work through and solve these issues. My name is Kendrique, and I am an Intern Marriage and Family Therapist.

Have you been told you have PTSD? Or, do you have anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or negative self-talk that all started with a traumatic event(s)? If so, you have come to the right place. People with trauma often find themselves spending countless hours in therapy but not getting lasting relief. That is because not every therapist is specially trained to treat trauma, and not every therapy intervention is able to access the part of the brain where traumatic memories live.

My ideal client would be someone that has been fearful of coming to therapy due to previous trauma as well as the stigma attached to therapy within our community. Clients that are afraid to come to therapy require extra grace and understanding.

Are you tired of constantly working on yourself? Have you been told the best you can do is learn to "cope better" with your illness or your "issues"? Does the idea of delving into the details of your problems in a therapy session turn your stomach? What if it was ALL just an innocent misunderstanding? My passion in life is to serve others by clearing up this simple misunderstanding and pointing people towards their innate source of wisdom, clarity, and common sense.

I help clients ages 15+ heal after trauma and through tough life transitions. Many of my clients have faced challenges such as complex trauma, divorce, sexual assault, relationship issues, childhood trauma, moving across states, and other distressing experiences. My approach is an empathetic and kind therapy, meeting my clients where they are at on their journey and guiding them to resilience. I am passionate about integrating EMDR, Internal Family Systems, inner child work, Polyvagal theory and adaptive coping skills with my clients.

Have you ever felt that life is just too overwhelming? Like maybe you’re taking 3 steps forward and 2 steps back or as hard as you try things just don’t seem to fall into place? If so then you could benefit from having a professional counselor to help you process what’s going on in your life. My job would be to walk with you on your journey, hold up a mirror for you to help you identify any patterns and obstacles and help come up with possible solutions. My job is to help you not have to walk on your journey alone.

You ARE enough. The love and encouragement you did not receive from the people in your life was their failing, NOT yours. You ARE worthy. This is the time of your life where you are now in control.

Let's face it, life can be challenging. If you feel like you are struggling to navigate life's obstacles, let's work together on uncovering and empowering the best version of you. My aim as your therapist is to create a safe space for discovery and healing, guiding you on a path toward inner peace and joy. I will help you unpack the complexities of life and explore how your experiences may be impacting your emotional well-being.

I am Jamesha Gardner. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the state of Alabama and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Texas.

I believe in meeting you where you are and respectfully help guide you to where you want to go mentally, physically and emotionally.
