Madison offers teletherapy across Alabama and is currently accepting new individual, couple, and family clients.
Finding the right therapist can sometimes feel like you're lost at sea. I'm so glad you're here! In the ocean, the tides help sailors to navigate the waters. At High Tide Therapy Services, we help clients navigate their "ocean". The brain can be like an ocean, with emotions coming and going like waves. When you can't seem to find direction past the waves or just feel like diving deeper in your sea, Madison would love to help you navigate.

My goal as a therapist is to create an environment that demonstrates collaboration, transparency, helpfulness, and empathy for my individual, couple, and family clients.
Every person has individual, unique experiences that they bring into the room, which means their own therapy needs may look very different than another’s. I am passionate about working alongside clients who are motivated to pursue lasting change in their lives, whether that be processing complex trauma, learning new relationship skills, navigating life transitions, or formulating healthy boundaries and self care practices. It can be painful to talk about and face the things that have brought you to the place you are currently in, but just like resetting a broken bone, the rewards of healing far outweigh the pain of healing!

Scheduling a therapy session for yourself or your family can feel unnecessary or useless, however I want to challenge you today to prioritize yourself.
Hi! My name is Savannah and I am so happy to have you here. I am so proud that you are considering beginning the journey of therapy and working towards growth in your life. Therapy is a wonderful tool as it can create extravagant and meaningful change. Therapy can also be your "safe space,” a place where your most influential events, thoughts, and emotions are shared and processed. It can be scary and uncomfortable, however I believe that true growth occurs when we are challenging ourselves. If you are looking to focus on self-esteem, emotion regulation, relationships or connection, I would love to work with you.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
