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.

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.
