Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Dothan, AL

Hi, I'm Laura, and I help individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, substance use, and depression. I provide a safe space to get started working on things that feel difficult and messy. I have specialized experience treating trauma, substance use, and those involved in car accidents or struggling with TBIs and chronic pain. I have worked in individual outpatient therapy settings, residential psychiatric and substance use settings, and inpatient hospital settings, serving those struggling with a wide range of mental health difficulties.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Approved Supervisor in Texas and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Minnesota and Alabama, with over 9 years of experience. In addition to my clinical practice, I serve as a Master of Social Work (MSW) professor, which allows me to stay connected to current research and best practices for my clients.

I have a doctorate of education from National University, a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Troy University. I decided to become a therapist after experiencing the life-changing benefits of therapy myself, and dropped out of law school to pursue this career

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.

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.

I spent nearly 5 years working in the substance abuse treatment field, in a variety of different positions, and found my passion for helping people there. I completed my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Troy University in Montgomery. My clinical training for my master’s program began at an intensive inpatient behavioral healthcare facility for children aged 12–18 who were in DHR custody and subsequently in a private practice counseling setting.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, substance abuse and addictions counseling, and trauma counseling. My philosophy of counseling is based around the simple idea that every individual deserves to live a happy, healthy and whole life. A little help in counseling has the potential to go a long way to living happy, healthy, and whole.

I’m passionate about facilitating your individual success. I strongly believe in collaboration and partnering to achieve your personal goals. I believe that you are the expert in your life and my role is to facilitate putting the puzzle together. My overall style is warm and compassionate.

My passion is helping women to regain a feeling of control and authorship in their lives. I specialize in helping women with postpartum depression/anxiety, self-esteem issues and stress from life transitions. I received my Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Ohio State in 2008. I'm a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience.

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.

For 30 years, I've been in the room with people who were tired of the same cycles — anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in grief, or strained in their closest relationships — and wanted something to actually change. I'm an LPC licensed in Alabama offering telehealth sessions, and I work with individuals, families, and adolescents on a wide range of life challenges. What you'll get with me is straightforward: an experienced counselor who is direct without being cold, solution-focused without being dismissive of what you've been through, and genuinely invested in helping you build tools that last.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and my main focus is helping minors and adults address problematic sexual behaviors, men’s issues, and the unique experiences of those who identify as LGBTQ+.

I also work with couples who are navigating the challenges of polyamory and exploring healthy relationship dynamics.

I offer a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive space for clients to explore challenges related to substance use, codependency, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Hi! I am so glad you are here! Life can feel heavy sometimes, whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, trauma, or simply feeling like you've lost yourself along the way. You don't have to carry it all alone. With over 11 years of experience, I work with adults, seniors, couples, and families to create a space where you can slow down, feel genuinely heard, and begin moving toward the life you want. My goal is to help you find clarity, reconnect with your strengths, and remember that healing is possible.

Are you longing for a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported? When anxiety, PTSD, depression, life transitions, etc. begin to weigh heavily, it can feel difficult to move forward. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where healing and hope can begin to take root.

I am a graduate of the University of Alabama’s Master’s program in Rehabilitation Counseling, with a focus on recovery, and I bring additional experience from working in foster care and educational settings. This background informs my trauma-aware, person-centered approach.

You may already know why you overfunction, people-please, silence yourself, or keep repeating patterns in relationships that leave you drained. Insight matters, but it is not the finish line. I help people turn what they know into boundaries, emotional self-trust, and choices that reflect the life they are ready to lead.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist, a nationally certified counselor, a former adjunct psychology instructor in higher education, and the founder of Mental Health Monarchs. With more than 15 years of experience in mental health, including 6 years as a therapist, I work with adults navigating childhood trauma, emotional neglect, family dysfunction, identity concerns, and toxic relationship patterns.

My style is intuitive, culturally grounded, curious, and compassion-forward. We’ll explore what is underneath your patterns without making therapy feel stiff or overly clinical. We can leave the work voice outside. I’m not code-switching with you. Cool?

This space is best suited for people who are ready for honest reflection and willing to begin using new tools in real time, in real life. I give homework.
