Sometimes life feels heavier than it looks on the outside. You may be carrying anxiety that never seems to quiet down, grieving someone you love, trying to hold a relationship together, or simply wondering why you don't feel like yourself anymore. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to pretend you're okay with me. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can finally exhale, make sense of what you're experiencing, and begin finding steady ground again.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. I believe healing begins with feeling heard, accepted, and supported. For more than 13 years, I've had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, women's issues, and stress. I've also supported individuals navigating crisis, childhood and domestic abuse, co-dependency, and self-esteem concerns. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming space where you can explore your experiences, recognize your strengths, and begin moving toward the life you want at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

I love all people and want to help as many people as possible, to heal and move forward towards a healthier happier life. I hope to work with you soon!
Hello! I have over 25 years of experience walking alongside individuals through both challenging and transformative moments. I believe people heal best when they feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients can safely explore their emotions, experiences, and personal growth without judgment.
I help individuals build resilience, expand their capacity to tolerate distress, and strengthen emotional regulation skills that support long-term well-being. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. I believe meaningful change happens over time, and I work to support clients in growing at a pace that feels both safe and empowering.

As a therapist, his goal is to empower you to tap into your inner strength and resilience, giving you the tools to reclaim control over your life. He strives to create a space that is compassionate and empathetic; a space where you can express yourself freely and without judgement. Chris collaborates with clients to address life’s transitions, chronic health concerns, trauma, grief, stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and identity-related issues.
You’re capable and use to managing a lot, but lately life feels overwhelming.
I’m Ashley Walay, LICSW, and I work with BIPOC women and LGBTQ+ individuals, professionals, single parents, and military-connected individuals (including spouses, veterans, contractors, and civilian employees) experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, chronic stress, and life transitions.
I value clear, direct communication and tailor therapy to your needs, whether you want tools or space to process. Together, we’ll work toward greater clarity, balance, and confidence.
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, grief, or past trauma begin to take up more space than the life you want to live. You may be exhausted from carrying everything on your own, struggling to manage emotions, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. I work with adults and teens who are ready for change but may not know where to start. Together, we'll create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), I am passionate about helping individuals heal from the wounds that continue to shape their present. I am the CEO and Founder of Mental Freedom Counseling Services LLC, proudly recognized with the Best of Alabama 2026 Award in Counseling and Therapy Practices. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and substance use, while maintaining a special passion for attachment wounds and the lasting impact of childhood experiences. I believe many of our current struggles make sense when we understand where they began.
My goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel truly seen and understood. Together, we'll identify patterns that no longer serve you, strengthen healthier ways of coping, and work toward lasting emotional freedom. Whether you're navigating painful relationships, unresolved trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I strive to help you build insight, healing, and confidence so you can create the life and relationships you deserve.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.
I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.
Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Huntsville, AL
Finding ADHD therapists in Huntsville starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation, organization, and routines. Psychiatrists can support medication management when that is part of your care plan. Adults and children may need different experience, so look for a therapist whose profile mentions adult ADHD, pediatric ADHD, ADHD testing coordination, anxiety, depression, or school and work-related concerns.
Huntsville has a range of mental health care options, with nearby access in areas like Madison and other parts of North Alabama. Still, the right therapist may depend on schedule, format, and experience with ADHD alongside concerns like anxiety or depression. Virtual appointments can expand your options if local availability is limited or if commuting to an office adds time. Before booking, review therapist bios for details on approach, session structure, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Therapy in Huntsville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you search for ADHD therapists who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, enter your insurance details for an estimated cost, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
