Online therapists in Alabama

I am also able to provide telebehavioral psychotherapy via telephone or video conferencing when appropriate. If you are interested in this service, please let me know when you contact me for your initial consultation.  

In my online therapy practice, I specialize in EMDR therapy as a transformative approach to assist individuals in their journey towards healing from trauma and narcissistic abuse, ultimately guiding them back to a place of self-love and emotional equilibrium. The lingering effects of childhood physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, along with the enduring impact of narcissistic abuse, can become deeply entrenched within the body, leading to symptoms of depression, anxiety, hypervigilance, and challenges in navigating relationships and daily life. I employ a video platform known as remotEMDR, which is specifically designed to facilitate EMDR therapy. This innovative approach aims to reshape the way these distressing memories are stored in the brain, fostering resolution and inner peace. To complement this therapy, I incorporate mind-body practices such as mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork, all of which serve to amplify the healing process. Drawing on my background as a neuropsychologist, I possess the expertise to help individuals identify their blind spots, condition their thoughts, and ultimately rewire their brains for enduring happiness and success. My mission is to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to healing that empowers individuals on their path to transformation and well-being.  

I provide psychotherapy for Individuals and Couples who want to grow, improve their relationship with themselves and others, and experience greater fulfillment in their daily lives. I use an individualized approach through assessing your particular situation and needs, and applying therapeutic approaches that are demonstrated to be effective to help you use your strengths, address your issues, meet your goals, and make lasting changes in all areas of your life and relationships. I also provide case consultation to other psychologists and therapists. I offer Teletherapy and consultations through HIPAA-compliant videocalls for those residing in Pennsylvania and some other states.  

I used a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform to conduct psychotherapy sessions. The goal is to connect with you in a way that creates the feeling that I am in the room with you during treatment. This is a safe and convenient way to assist you with your concerns.  

I offer online teletherapy using a secure, HIPPA compliant video conferencing platform. You will be able to engage in therapy services from the convenience and comfort of your home. Live video and electronic handouts provide an effective and engaging counseling experience.

I have been providing video therapy and video EMDR treatment since March of 2020. Online therapy has many benefits such as being easier to fit into your schedule or not having to leave the house or arrange for child care. When compared to in person therapy video EMDR therapy has demonstrated equal effectiveness in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, depression, body image issues, chronic pain, and grief.  

We see patients both in-person and online. ​  

Sometimes it may not be practical to meet in a therapy office, especially with the current pandemic. As a result, I offer online therapy to meet my patient's needs. We meet face-to-face in my virtual office and are still able to establish that therapeutic connection.

A solution focused approach to achieve emotional wellness  

Although I see clients in person if you live close to me in NC, I am "authorized" to see clients through Teletherapy by PsyPact, which lets me work with folks in all PsyPact states. I see individuals and couples (who sometimes aren't in the same place!) on my platform, and there is an "ease" that I don't think people expect. My core theory approach is Interpersonal Psychotherapy (combined with CBT, Gestalt, attention to lifestyle, spiritual life and career). I use testing to give us a "quickstart", namely the MBTI, FIRO/B, and Strong Interest Inventory. I also have a list of "handouts" (You wouldn't guess that I've been a professor in Counseling Psychology, would you?!) and a model called the Interpersonal Flexibility Circle that I've developed to more clearly see concretely how relationships really work. All of these methods support our work and are teletherapy friendly. All of them support both individual and relationship therapy (even your relationship with all ages of your SELF!) I use an approach that helps people to rather quickly recognize how their "stuck challenges" and defenses have been "safety maneuvers" for perhaps their whole lives. How enlightening and empowering!  

Asking for help is challenging enough, and I believe that the online format removes some of the other stressors normally associated with beginning therapy. One of the most important "ingredients" for success in therapy is feeling comfortable in the therapy setting. With online therapy, clients enjoy the convenience of meeting with me from wherever they feel most comfortable. Online therapy also eliminates the need for a commute to an office or sitting in a waiting area. With some of the stress eliminated, we can really get to work!  

ONLINE THERAPY OFFERED IN ALL PSYPACT STATES.  

I offer virtual consultation services, including documentation reviews and face-to-face meetings through telehealth platforms. Evaluations are conducted in-person only.  

We are an online practice of experienced psychologists and licensed professional counselors who provide services to individuals, couples, families, and children located in Virginia, D.C., Georgia, and to American Expats who are located abroad.  

You’ve taken a critical first step toward starting to feel better: you are exploring your options for therapy. For this, you should give yourself a pat on the back—starting the process of reaching out for help is never easy. The next step is finding the right therapist for you. I specialize in working with people who are not getting what they want or need out of relationships (including their relationship with themselves). Many of my clients describe being hard on themselves, having difficulty forming relationships, or not feeling fulfilled by their relationships.  

Teletherapy via a virtual HIPAA-compliant platform that is easily accessible via phone, tablet, and computer.  

Our sessions are conducted via a secure, online platform which allows you to decide when and where you prefer to conduct your therapy. For couples and group therapy, individuals can join conveniently from different locations when needed.  

If you feel burned out, unfulfilled in relationships, stuck in life, anxious, or down, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. I have built a small boutique practice where I limit the number of clients I treat, so I can give my clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. I combine compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again.
