Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Dothan, AL

I’m a warm, supportive, and empowering therapist who believes you are the expert on your own life. I’ve been practicing counseling for four years and also facilitate IOP groups, giving me experience working with a variety of concerns and life experiences. I use humor when it fits, and I’m not afraid to challenge you when the moment calls for it. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable being your authentic self in therapy.

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.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, difficult emotions, or major life changes, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience helping individuals facing mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, personality disorders, and other life challenges. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Montevallo and strive to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and comfortable being themselves. My practice, Elpida Counseling, LLC, takes its name from the Greek word for “hope”—because I believe hope can exist even during the seasons when it feels hardest to find.
