I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who specializes in working with adolescents, teens, and young people navigating emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. Many of the teens and families I support are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger outbursts, defiance, low self-esteem, school stress, peer conflict, family tension, and difficulty managing big emotions. Parents often come to me feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to help, or concerned about changes in behavior, mood, or communication at home.
I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where young people can safely express themselves, build trust, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop a stronger sense of identity and self-worth. My work also focuses on helping families improve communication, reduce conflict, rebuild connection, and create more stable, supportive relationships at home. My goal is to help teens feel more confident and families feel more connected.
Hello, I’m Dr. Tandrea Elmore, and I am honored to support you as you begin or continue your counseling journey. I believe that seeking help is a courageous step, and I am committed to providing a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can work toward healing and personal growth. I have over 20 years of experience in working with children and families, but I have been a licensed counselor for almost 8 years.
I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Auburn University, a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Community Agency Counseling from Troy University, and a Doctor of Education from Northcentral University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), National Certified Counselor (NCC), Certified School Counselor, and Certified Vocational Forensic Evaluator. These credentials, combined with my experience, allow me to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care tailored to each client's unique needs.
My mission is to help individuals achieve greater mental and emotional wellness. As a dedicated therapist, I am passionate about promoting both mental and physical well-being and empowering clients to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience. I believe it is okay to not be okay—but you do not have to stay there.
My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, life transitions, and overall mental and emotional wellness. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, balance, and a healthier, more fulfilling life.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and strengths based. I focus on creating a space where you feel safe, welcomed, and able to be yourself without fear of judgment. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, life changes, or personal challenges, I work alongside you to understand what’s most important and support you in moving toward meaningful growth and lasting change.
Life can feel overwhelming—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m an LICSW who creates a judgment-free space where you can show up as you are. Together, we focus on your strengths, your goals, and real tools to support growth and healing.
Hello, I am Amber Jones, LPC. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Alabama. I have worked in mental health for over 16 years. I have been a counselor for 7 years. I worked primarily with children, adolescents, college students, and adults during this time. I provided Telehealth services to adults and adolescents. Before receiving my counseling degree, I worked as a substance abuse prevention specialist for over 10 years. I am currently working on my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision.
Hello! I'm Margaret Silva, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with resilience, creativity, and confidence. I believe that therapy should be as dynamic and unique as the people I work with. Rather than just sitting and talking, my practice often incorporates creative, activity-based interventions—such as art, games, and media—to make the therapeutic process engaging, accessible, and deeply meaningful. I specialize in helping clients build vital social-emotional skills, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop practical problem-solving strategies for everyday life. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and PTSD, OCD, ADHD, grief and loss, relationship issues, family issues, behavioral challenges, and life transitions. I also welcome clients working through men's issues, women's issues, identity, and infertility or pregnancy loss. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative, and uplifting space where you (or your child) feel truly heard, supported, and empowered to grow!
If you're ready to create meaningful, lasting change, whether that means getting a handle on anxiety, working through past patterns, or breaking free from substance use, I'd love to help you get there. With over 10 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama (and master's degrees in both Addiction Counseling and General Psychology), I bring a practical, collaborative approach that builds on your strengths. Using CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, always tailored to what you need, I help individuals develop real coping skills and achieve their personal goals.
Welcome! I am Rosemary Gowett, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s challenges and transitions. Whether you are struggling with daily anxiety, enduring a season of depression, or feeling overwhelmed by major life shifts, you do not have to carry that weight alone. Many people think counseling is only for times of crisis, but even positive, planned changes—like retirement, marriage, or welcoming a new family member—can bring unexpected stress and a loss of clarity. Whatever you are experiencing, I am here to help you unpack it.
