Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Meadowbrook, AL

Are you having a tough time navigating life changes or finding a way to your ideal wellness? As a certified health and wellness coach and counselor I am here to support and provide you with the necessary tools to reach your wellness goals and to help you build the confidence in your strengths. The approach I take to counseling is to meet people where they are in their journey to then walk with them down the path of achieving their goals.

What happened to you? This is the question that should be asked when a person decides to confront their trauma. So much of the focus is on "What is wrong with you?" that we fail to take in the traumatic events that led us here and created the issues that we now face. While I take special interest in traumatic experiences, I have extensive experience working with panic attacks, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, OCD, and life transitions. I also have professional experience in my career of working with individuals with mood disorders, such as bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and MDD.

There is hope for all! After being a teacher in public schools for 14 years and a director of a faith-based non-profit that helped troubled teens and parents, for 2 years, I decided to go back to school to become a licensed therapist. I enjoy "walking" beside of people who are hurting and struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, relationships and/or depression. I work with adults, young adults, teens, and couples. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother trying to love others right where they are.

Emotional pain can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed but I have great news! There is a path, a way out, for you to heal and experience peace and joy. You do not have to suffer anymore, white-knuckling it through most days, feeling hopeless and too broken to heal while wondering if your life will ever be fulfilling. I understand the dark nights of despair and how hard it is to reach out. So, I find you to be courageous, right here and now – taking a step to figure out if I can help. And the answer is ‘absolutely!’

You may feel stuck or that you can’t catch your breath. You may be experiencing hurt, confusion, or intense sadness. Therapy is a space for you to feel seen, respected, and experience care. If you are my client, I aim for my office to be somewhere you can laugh, cry, and feel rested. Our stories are sacred and worthy to be shared, and it's a privilege I do not take lightly to hear the stories of others.

Knowing that a client-centered approach where a warm non-judgmental atmosphere creates the best climate for truly exploring oneself, Jolei is committed to offering you a safe space to do just that. Working with individuals from ages six through adulthood, families and couples, she pulls from years of experience dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, family of origin issues, addiction, relationship issues, grief, life transitions and self-esteem.

Ready to make meaningful changes in your life, but unsure where to start? Maybe you’ve already started making changes but want to dig deeper or reach higher. To move forward, sometimes we must confront issues from the past that are holding us back. Other times, we most benefit from guidance and support that teaches us to cope with present issues that are leaving us feeling lost, alone, stuck, or frustrated. My goal as a therapist is to bring light into those dark places by facilitating your journey to greater self-awareness, more effective communication, healthier relationships, and an overall more authentic and fulfilling life.
