In Person Therapists in Hoover, AL

Therapy is a journey into self-awareness. My private practice, Birmingham Therapy Services LLC, focuses on addressing presenting symptoms that can be a manifestation of our past and current experiences. Creating a safe environment is fundamental to therapeutic success. My role is to help the client identify what skills are needed in order for them to feel safe; this includes gathering an understanding of past and present experiences, resource building, coping skills development, psychoeducation, and discovering ones strengths. This approach is key in preparing a client's nervous system for the deep dive work.

Currently scheduling for August 2024! Lotus Counseling Services started with a vision and a passion to help girls develop into strong, confident, fearless, healthy women. The lotus flower grows from deep mud, through murky water, to produce a beautiful blossom; the more adversity the more beautiful a transformation. My role as a counselor is to provide support and guidance along that journey. Everyone is an individual and therefore there is no one approach that works for everyone. I pride myself on being genuine with my clients and utilizing counseling methods that are most effective for her as an individual.

Hi! I’m so glad you’re here! I am dedicated to creating a non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions and beliefs on your journey towards self-discovery. With 16 years of experience working in the school setting, I enjoy helping adolescents/teenagers work through mental health challenges they may encounter. Additionally, I am passionate about helping women navigate unique life challenges - this can include motherhood, pre/post pregnancy complications, pre-term birth, perinatal loss, fertility issues, unexpected birth outcomes, endometriosis, PCOS, chronic pelvic pain, hormone imbalances, and/or (peri) menopausal.

I believe in the process of therapy. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, codependency, addiction or self-image, I am here to help you.

I have experience working with a wide range of clients in a variety of settings. I utilize an individualized approach with each client as therapy is not "one size fits all." I work with individual clients who are 18 or older.

Over the past 15 years as a counselor, I have learned it is the counseling relationship that drives the change process. I utilize different approaches to assist working with children, adolescents, and adults. I love working with the person, not just the issues or hurdles that they are going through.

At times we feel off-balance, insecure, overwhelmed, confused, or disappointed. We all face challenges and unexpected events. Life is full of ups and downs and occasionally we find ourselves needing support. In therapy we learn how to navigate the waves of life. Therapy is a purposeful, supported journey where you explore, challenge, and are restored to an improved quality of life.

Hi! I am Kayle Lucas. I believe that counseling is a sacred space and opportunity for you to be heard and respected. I am grounded in the belief that people can be motivated towards achieving positive psychological functioning, and this is essential to every therapeutic relationship and provides the basis for change to occur. I believe you are an expert of your experience, your wants, and your needs. I do not believe there is one single approach or theory that works for everyone in every situation. I have a diverse understanding of theories and I incorporate a variety of therapeutic principles to create the best treatment for you.

Talking about sexuality can feel challenging for many of us. I take a sex-positive approach to intimacy, encouraging open and healthy discussions about sexual experiences and desires. I utilize an integrative, holistic, and mindulness based approach, as it is important to have a clear understanding about what is currently important to the client in the present while gently exploring the past. I also assess for tangential topics, such as boundary maintenance, practicing a compassionate relationship with one’s self and partner, healthy and effective communication, and developing mindful practices to inform decisions.

I believe that counseling helps us to create wellness and peace within ourselves no matter life’s circumstances. I feel the therapeutic relationship should provide you with confidence and inner strength to face life’s challenges. My goal is to help you gain understanding of yourself and the struggles you face in order for us to improve your quality of life.

Let’s get you back in control and living freely. We seek therapy for many reasons- we might find ourselves in the same destructive cycles or feel trapped in our own lives. We might find ourselves unable to stop thinking about traumatic memories or acting out our trauma over and over. We might feel out of place in our own bodies, knowing something is not aligning with our gender, sex, or sexual orientation but not sure where to start. Or we just may be wanting to find our greatest potential and change our behavior patterns for success. I can help. We can work together to see your life a little differently and start to make change.

I'm Katy Bridges and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). It is my passion to work with children, adolescents, and young adults. Emotional turmoil negatively impacts our daily lives. Often, young people struggle to perform, feel down on themselves, have behavior problems, or can't manage big emotions like fear and sadness. Anxiety, grief, conflict at home, social problems, and extracurricular commitments are other stressors children have to manage. This can lead to poor quality of life, behavior problems, distractions at school, etc. Growing up is HARD work! Young people are strong and can thrive with the right tools!
