Therapist

Virtual • Vestavia Hills, AL


I like to work off of the principle based on a quote by Zora Neal Hurston: " If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.". I believe that healing comes from giving your pain a voice and finding healthy ways to cope and explore who you have become through the pain. Healing in and of itself can be painful, but finding supportive and safe community can help ease some of the discomfort. I believe in therapy because I invested in therapy for myself for several years- I know the benefit of having someone to walk in the darkness with you.

Shaquala Fields

Shaquala Fields

Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


As a single mom of color, I have witnessed the extreme societal pressure placed on mothers to choose between their career or their children; leaving little room to even provide attention to their own self care. This ignited a passion within me to use my skills to support women to navigate through the chaos. My goal is to work with those women who may need help coping through these very real everyday stressors. Not a mom? That's ok! I can also empathize with the pressure placed on women of color in the workplace to work so much harder than their male counterparts. Its my hope to create a safe space for you to explore these feelings.


It can be challenging at times for women to have access to a therapist who can empathize with their experiences. Through a strengths based approach, I would love to share my personal experience with being a woman of color, a mom, a Christian, as well as a goal oriented professional in non-profit leadership and mental health.

Through this journey, I want you to find a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and self worth and I would be honored to take that walk with you. Our sessions will not be for me to "social work" you, but for you to unload some of the pressure and burden to make the ride a bit easier. No matter what it feels like, you got this... you can do this!

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Huntsville

Finding postpartum therapists in Huntsville starts with looking for care that matches the concerns you want to address. Postpartum support can include more than postpartum depression. Many people also look for help with postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, relationship strain, or adjusting to new routines. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, postpartum care, or maternal mental health. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.

Huntsville has a range of postpartum therapists, and virtual care can expand your options when local availability, infant care, or physical recovery shape your schedule. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions because they fit more easily around feeding, naps, appointments, or support at home. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for appointment availability, therapy approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Bios can also show how a therapist describes their style, which can help you decide who may be a good fit.

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 what you may pay before care starts. Headway helps you search postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details. From there, you can compare virtual and in-person options, browse therapists, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
