About

Hi, I’m Colleen, a Clinical Social Worker in Alabama. I've been a Social Work over 15 years and focused the last 5 years on providing direct mental health services. I feel I was pulled into the mental health field after working through my own troubled childhood and learning to manage my own Anxiety from that trauma.

I was blessed to find a caring and relatable therapist early on who stuck with me on my journey of mental freedom! I would like to be that therapist for you.

I've worked in nursing homes, home health, hospice, and outpatient mental health clinics. I try to understand the relationship between social system, culture, community, and an individual’s mental health when working with them.

My specialties include anxiety, grief/ bereavement, life transitions, and stress management.

My counseling style is structured and flexible. I am a honest and straight forward therapist. I want the best for my clients, but they have to want the best for themselves before change can happen.
I like to focus on identifying strengths and helping my clients maximize their strengths to overcome life obstacles.

I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, and solution focused therapy.
