Hi, I’m Alicia Richardson. I believe healing begins when we feel seen, heard, and safe. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that every person can grow, heal, and bloom. Whether you're navigating stress, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply seeking clarity, I provide a supportive space where you can reconnect with your inner strength and purpose. My goal is to walk alongside you with grace, authenticity, and care—helping you move forward, one heart-centered step at a time.
My passion is helping women to regain a feeling of control and authorship in their lives. I specialize in helping women with postpartum depression/anxiety, self-esteem issues and stress from life transitions. I received my Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Ohio State in 2008. I'm a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience.
When you've been carrying anxiety, relationship stress, or the pressure of holding everything together for so long, it can start to feel like you're simply surviving instead of truly living. You may be showing up for everyone else while quietly wondering when you'll have the chance to take care of yourself. You deserve a space where you can let your guard down and be met with compassion instead of judgment. I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout Alabama, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, stress management, and relationship issues while also supporting family concerns, grief and loss, and women's issues that often become part of the same journey. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you feel genuinely heard, reconnect with your strengths, and begin building a life that feels more peaceful, balanced, and fulfilling.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and strengths based. I focus on creating a space where you feel safe, welcomed, and able to be yourself without fear of judgment. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, life changes, or personal challenges, I work alongside you to understand what’s most important and support you in moving toward meaningful growth and lasting change.
Hello! I'm Margaret Silva, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with resilience, creativity, and confidence. I believe that therapy should be as dynamic and unique as the people I work with. Rather than just sitting and talking, my practice often incorporates creative, activity-based interventions—such as art, games, and media—to make the therapeutic process engaging, accessible, and deeply meaningful. I specialize in helping clients build vital social-emotional skills, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop practical problem-solving strategies for everyday life. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and PTSD, OCD, ADHD, grief and loss, relationship issues, family issues, behavioral challenges, and life transitions. I also welcome clients working through men's issues, women's issues, identity, and infertility or pregnancy loss. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative, and uplifting space where you (or your child) feel truly heard, supported, and empowered to grow!

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling and Psychology and experience supporting adults through life transitions, self-discovery, and personal growth.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Mobile
Finding therapists in Mobile starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists in Mobile, AL, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or support for couples.
Mobile has a mix of local therapy options across areas like Midtown, Spring Hill, Downtown, and nearby communities. Some people prefer in-person sessions close to home or work, while others choose virtual appointments for more scheduling flexibility. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and communicates with new clients.
Therapy in Mobile can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapists in Mobile, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
