Grief counselors and therapists in Birmingham, AL

Hello. My name is Rekita Jackson and I am the owner of 2nd Chances Better Choices Counseling and Consulting Services. I'm a Licenced Professional Counselor and also hold certifications in Grief Couseling and Anger Management. I have over 20 years of experience in helping people within the behavioral / mental health community.

I specialize in individual, family and group counseling. My particular interests are working with individuals who are struggling with personal life stressors, depression, anxiety, anger, grief, substance abuse and re-entry counseling.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama, Colorado, and New Jersey with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. I feel honored to work with adults 45 and older, supporting them through life transitions and the deep challenges of grief. My style is compassionate and collaborative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Impact Therapy, and person-centered counseling. Together, we focus on building coping skills, strengthening resilience, and creating meaningful change so you can move forward with hope and confidence.

Are you feeling stuck between who you are and who you know you were meant to be? I help clients grappling with meaning, mortality, authenticity, and purpose. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I specialize in depression, anxieties, and addictions that have these deeper existential roots. I help people struggling with shame, loneliness, heartbreak, aging, illness, grief, and loss of meaning build a life worth living and a Self worth living it. I believe in building new skills. But my ultimate aim is to help you find and liberate your higher Self.

I am a licensed professional counselor. I have been working in the mental health field for over six years. I have a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I love working with people from all walks of life.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should be a space where you feel understood, respected, and free to be yourself. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples, with a focus on anxiety, depression, anger, relationships, life transitions, autism, ADHD, and neurodivergence. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and create meaningful, fulfilling lives.

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.

Your Story. Your Purpose. Your Identity. Healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about uncovering who you've always been. Life has a way of shaping us. Painful experiences, trauma, loss, relationships, and fear can leave us carrying beliefs and protective patterns that once helped us survive, but now no longer serve us. Together, we'll explore your story, heal unresolved wounds, challenge limiting beliefs, and reconnect with the authentic identity that's been there all along.

Hello! My name is Richard Krebs and I've been working with Warrior Wellness Group for the past 8 years. I received my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UAB in 2018 and specialize in trauma therapy. I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

When you've been carrying anxiety, relationship stress, or the pressure of holding everything together for so long, it can start to feel like you're simply surviving instead of truly living. You may be showing up for everyone else while quietly wondering when you'll have the chance to take care of yourself. You deserve a space where you can let your guard down and be met with compassion instead of judgment. I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout Alabama, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, stress management, and relationship issues while also supporting family concerns, grief and loss, and women's issues that often become part of the same journey. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you feel genuinely heard, reconnect with your strengths, and begin building a life that feels more peaceful, balanced, and fulfilling.

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.

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!

Welcome! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I have worked in a variety of clinical and veteran-focused settings, which has shaped my understanding of how life experiences impact mental health. I am passionate about creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward the life you want.
