Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Eufaula, AL


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.

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.

Christle Reddix

Christle Reddix

Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who specializes in working with adolescents, teens, and young people navigating emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. Many of the teens and families I support are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger outbursts, defiance, low self-esteem, school stress, peer conflict, family tension, and difficulty managing big emotions. Parents often come to me feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to help, or concerned about changes in behavior, mood, or communication at home.

I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where young people can safely express themselves, build trust, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop a stronger sense of identity and self-worth. My work also focuses on helping families improve communication, reduce conflict, rebuild connection, and create more stable, supportive relationships at home. My goal is to help teens feel more confident and families feel more connected.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Huntsville, AL

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Huntsville starts with identity-affirming care. The right therapist may have experience with LGBTQIA+ concerns, identity exploration, gender identity, relationship stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare options, look for therapists who list affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or LGBTQIA+-affirming care in their profile. These details can help you find someone whose training and listed specialties match what you want from care.

Huntsville has a steady mental health care community, but affirming therapists may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still connecting you with therapists licensed in Alabama. You may want to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Read each bio for clear mentions of LGBTQIA+ populations, communication style, and approach to care before you book.

Therapy in Huntsville can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and offer direct scheduling. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book when you’re ready.
