Therapy with me is a space where you can be honest about what is happening in your life without feeling judged or expected to have everything figured out before you schedule your first session. I have experience working with individuals and families during some of the most difficult periods of their lives. Those experiences have taught me that people are often doing the best they can with the tools, experiences, and circumstances they have at the time. I believe therapy should be collaborative. I am not here to tell you how you should feel or simply give you advice. I want to understand your experiences, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and help you develop practical ways to cope, communicate, set boundaries, process difficult experiences, and move forward. I also believe that progress does not always look like feeling better immediately. Sometimes progress is understanding why you respond the way you do, recognizing a pattern, becoming more comfortable setting a boundary, learning to tolerate an uncomfortable emotion, or finally addressing something you have been avoiding. You do not have to come to therapy with a perfectly defined goal. We can figure that out together.

Therapist

Virtual • Birmingham, AL


Hi, I’m Felecia Underwood-Price, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience. My work is focused on helping individuals navigate grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, and major life transitions. I also support women working through childhood wounds, relationship challenges, and the lasting effects of difficult experiences. Whatever you’re carrying, you deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood.


I believe healing begins with understanding your experiences, not judging yourself for them. My approach is warm, compassionate, and empowering, with a focus on helping you reconnect with your strengths and find meaning in your journey. Together, we’ll work through what’s been weighing on you, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a stronger foundation for emotional well-being. You don’t have to navigate life’s difficult seasons alone.

I’m an independently licensed therapist in Alabama, and my background includes working full-time as a substance use counselor while also providing evening virtual therapy. I especially enjoy working with teens and adults, and I’m drawn to this work because I believe therapy should help people feel more free, more grounded, and more like themselves again. It means a lot to me when someone trusts me with the parts of their life that feel messy, painful, or overwhelming. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be honest, feel respected, and begin building real momentum toward the life you want.

I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of nursing experience, including ED psychiatric crisis care and extensive work with geriatric patients with dementia and their families. I provide behavioral health evaluation, crisis-focused intervention, emotional regulation support, and structured therapeutic exercises for children, teens, adults, and caregivers.

You might be carrying anger, worry, or sadness that's been building for a long time and you're not sure where to put it anymore. I work with kids, teens, adults, and seniors who are navigating anxiety, depression, anger, bipolar disorder, or substance use, and who are ready to stop managing it alone. I've spent time in outpatient, residential, crisis, and correctional settings, so I've sat with people at some of their hardest moments and I don't rattle easily. My goal in every session is for you to feel heard and respected from the very first conversation.
