Hi, I’m Dr. Alicia Richardson. I believe healing begins when we feel seen, heard, and safe. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that everyone 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.
You might be carrying anger, worry, or sadness that's been building for a long time and you're not sure where to put it anymore. I work with kids, teens, adults, and seniors who are navigating anxiety, depression, anger, bipolar disorder, or substance use, and who are ready to stop managing it alone. I've spent time in outpatient, residential, crisis, and correctional settings, so I've sat with people at some of their hardest moments and I don't rattle easily. My goal in every session is for you to feel heard and respected from the very first conversation.
I have been practicing in the counseling business for 16 years and current own my own practice. When I set up my business I made sure everyone knows it is Christian based using God's word and the scriptures to help us work through problems my clients are having. I have been an addiction counselor and helped clients with substance use and abuse issues. Today most of my clients are ones that have problems in their marriage and their relationships. I prefer to work with client that are 25 years old or older. For Individual counseling I help clients with stress, anxiety, depression and ADHD. My education is a Masters in Counseling for the University of North Alabama.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Washington, DC, and Georgia. I provide telehealth services to clients, working with young adults and young adults specializing in anxiety and depression. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Feminist Therapy to help clients challenge unhelpful thought patterns, explore the impact of societal influences, and make meaningful progress toward their goals.
Early appointments available.
I”m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, caregivers, and families through life’s emotional challenges.
I help clients who are struggling with caregiver stress and burnout, anxiety and emotional overwhelm, difficulty setting healthy boundaries, parenting stress (including raising children with autism), and healing from childhood experiences that continue to impact adult life and relationships

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.
