Are you longing for a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported? When anxiety, PTSD, depression, life transitions, etc. begin to weigh heavily, it can feel difficult to move forward. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where healing and hope can begin to take root.

I am a graduate of the University of Alabama’s Master’s program in Rehabilitation Counseling, with a focus on recovery, and I bring additional experience from working in foster care and educational settings. This background informs my trauma-aware, person-centered approach.

You may already know why you overfunction, people-please, silence yourself, or keep repeating patterns in relationships that leave you drained. Insight matters, but it is not the finish line. I help people turn what they know into boundaries, emotional self-trust, and choices that reflect the life they are ready to lead.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist, a nationally certified counselor, a former adjunct psychology instructor in higher education, and the founder of Mental Health Monarchs. With more than 15 years of experience in mental health, including 6 years as a therapist, I work with adults navigating childhood trauma, emotional neglect, family dysfunction, identity concerns, and toxic relationship patterns.

My style is intuitive, culturally grounded, curious, and compassion-forward. We’ll explore what is underneath your patterns without making therapy feel stiff or overly clinical. We can leave the work voice outside. I’m not code-switching with you. Cool?

This space is best suited for people who are ready for honest reflection and willing to begin using new tools in real time, in real life. I give homework.

Hello, I’m Dr. Tandrea Elmore, and I am honored to support you as you begin or continue your counseling journey. I believe that seeking help is a courageous step, and I am committed to providing a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can work toward healing and personal growth. I have over 20 years of experience in working with children and families, but I have been a licensed counselor for almost 8 years.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. I believe healing begins with feeling heard, accepted, and supported. For more than 13 years, I've had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, women's issues, and stress. I've also supported individuals navigating crisis, childhood and domestic abuse, co-dependency, and self-esteem concerns. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming space where you can explore your experiences, recognize your strengths, and begin moving toward the life you want at a pace that feels comfortable.

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.

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 Montgomery

Searching for therapists in Montgomery starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and training that match what you want to address. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.

In a mid-size city like Montgomery, your search may include in-person offices near areas like Cloverdale, Midtown, Eastchase, or other parts of the metro area, along with virtual appointments from therapists licensed in Alabama. Some people prefer meeting in a dedicated office, while others choose virtual sessions that fit more easily around work, school, or family schedules. Beyond location, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Montgomery can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see estimated costs upfront. You can browse therapists in Montgomery, review detailed bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
