Grief counselors and therapists in Dothan, AL

I truly desire to my clients succeed in the counseling process.

When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to get caught in a cycle of anxious thoughts, emotional exhaustion, or self doubt that makes it hard to enjoy the things that once brought you joy. Anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, or difficult life experiences can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or constantly waiting for things to get better. You don't have to navigate that journey alone. I partner with individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and OCD so they can find greater emotional balance, regain confidence in themselves, and build a life that feels calmer, healthier, and more fulfilling. Working with adolescents and adults, I strive to create a supportive, judgment free space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered to make lasting change.

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.

Hello and Welcome!! My name is Afiya K. Hooker and I am a Licensed Psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience in the mental health wellness field and 10 years of experience as a psychotherapist. My specializations include anxiety, depression, trauma and the selves (self-identity, esteem, actualization, etc.).

I combine my real-world experience with specialized training in self-compassion and grief. I am Certified in Self Compassion in Psychotherapy and a Mindful Self-Compassion Teacher, trained by the Center for Mindful Self Compassion. I am a certified Grief Educator trained by David Kessler. Whether I am working with clients navigating life transitions or partnering with UA to support elite athletes, my goal is to help you meet your challenges with more kindness and resilience.

My path to becoming a therapist wasn't exactly traditional yet shapes how I connect with people. After earning my psychology degree from Johns Hopkins, I spent twenty years in the fashion industry focusing on leadership development and career mentoring. I then decided to return to my roots in psychology, earning my MSW from the University of Alabama to become an LICSW.

Clients should know that I am deeply committed to creating a space where honesty, healing and emotional safety can exist without judgment. I understand that coming to therapy often requires courage, especially when life feels overwhelming, complicated, or uncertain. My approach is grounded in respect, authenticity, and clinical integrity. I value the therapeutic relationship and believe that meaningful change happens when clients feel seen, heard, and understood - not rushed, dismissed, or judged.

I bring both professional expertise and real-world understanding into my work. Due to having worked in a forensic psychiatric setting for over 16 years, I have experience working with complex emotional, behavioral, and trauma-related challenges. I approach each client with the belief that behavior is often a response to pain, and healing begins when we understand the story behind the behavior.

Clients should also know that I am direct, compassionate, and intentional in my work. I will support you, but I will also gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is not just to help you cope, but to help you grow, heal, and move toward a more grounded and peaceful version of yourself. I deeply respect each client’s pace and process. You are not expected to have everything figured out when you arrive. Therapy is a space for exploration, reflection, and growth.

Above all, I believe that healing is possible, change is achievable, and no one is too far gone to begin again.

I am a Clinical Social Worker providing tele-health psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and seniors across Alabama and Florida. My goal is to provide the evidence-based treatment, education, and encouragement necessary for you to achieve a more purposeful and fulfilling life.
