Couples therapists in Birmingham, AL

Hi there!

I’m a mental and emotional wellness therapist dedicated to helping you find greater fulfillment in life. Embracing your unique experiences with curiosity and respect, I acknowledge you as the expert of your life in our work together. I have a BA in psychology from Auburn University and a Master's in counseling from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Additionally, I have extensive training and experience in marital/premarital counseling, couples counseling, and relationship issues.

I am Janet P. Stoudenmire-Smith, owner of Alabama Wellness and Recovery Services and a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S). I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, families, veterans, and court-referred clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management concerns, substance use issues, family conflict, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to help clients find healing, hope, and wellness.

I am Tony Gunn, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am also a Substance Abuse Professional and a board certified transgender care therapist. I value connection, trust, and respect.

I work with adults, teens, families, and couples. My focus areas include LGBTQIA+ clients, gender nonconforming clients, transgender care, sexual health concerns, trauma, grief, mood concerns, and major life transitions.

You receive care grounded in empathy, cultural awareness, and collaboration. Sessions center on clear goals, practical skills, and meaningful insight. I create a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood without judgment.

I provide services through in-person and telehealth settings. My approach blends evidence-based practice with care shaped around your needs, values, and lived experience. My goal centers on supporting clarity, stability, and long-term well-being through an affirming therapeutic relationship.

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.

Hi, and welcome — I'm really glad you're here. I've been a licensed therapist for 8 years, and in that time I've sat with people through just about every kind of hard season: anxiety that won't let up, depression that makes everything feel heavy, the pull of substance use, anger that's costing you relationships, or a life transition that's left you unsure of who you are right now. Wherever you're starting from, you don't have to sort it out alone.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, anger management, relationship struggles, and the specific pressures that come with men's and women's issues. I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Troy University, and what grounds my work is a simple belief: change is possible for anyone willing to be honest with themselves — and I'll be right there alongside you for it.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling and Psychology and experience supporting adults through life transitions, self-discovery, and personal growth. I specialize in helping clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and identity concerns. My practice also offers the option of a spiritually reflective component for those who find meaning in their faith journey. Above all, I value creating a compassionate and safe space where clients feel understood and supported.

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.
