Grief counselors and therapists in Alabama


Top grief and loss counseling therapists in Alabama
Coping with death, loss of a loved one, or complicated grief can feel isolating. Headway's Alabama network offers grief therapy and support through experienced providers who specialize in helping individuals work through bereavement and anticipatory grief at their own pace.
I specialize in grief, relationships, parenting, and attachment, with special interest in non-death related losses. I hold a BGS from the University of West Florida, an MSW from the University of Alabama, and have completed extensive continuing education including the University of Vermont's End-of-Life doula program. I am a TBRI® Practitioner, WRAP® Facilitator, and am a Gottman Seven Principles Leader.
Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 14 years of experience helping people navigate some of life's most challenging moments. My background spans addiction recovery, the LGBTQ+ community, and the child welfare system, including working with foster and adoptive families. As both a member of the LGBTQ+ community and an adoptive and former foster parent myself, these aren't just areas of clinical expertise -- they're deeply personal to me. I bring both professional knowledge and lived experience to my work.
What is your approach to therapy?My role is to support you, not to tell you how to live your life. I take a client-centered approach, listening closely to what you want to work on and helping you build concrete, achievable goals at a pace that works for you. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while also weaving in elements of ACT, DBT, and mindfulness to tailor our work to your individual needs.
What can clients expect from their first session with you?Your first session is all about you: your story, your goals, and what you hope to get out of therapy. I create a warm, judgment-free space where you can speak openly and feel truly heard. From there, we'll identify concrete, achievable goals and take things one step at a time, so that progress between sessions feels manageable and real.
Hi! My name is Raziya. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience. I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work and Doctorate in Counseling Psychology. I am passionate about helping clients reach their full potential in life.
I am a licensed social work therapist in Alabama. I have 25+ years of experience in therapy and social services.
My focus is to help individuals and families build resiliency to heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan to connect you with simple strategies that would assist you with achieving your full potential.
I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of nursing experience, including ED psychiatric crisis care and extensive work with geriatric patients with dementia and their families. I provide behavioral health evaluation, crisis-focused intervention, emotional regulation support, and structured therapeutic exercises for children, teens, adults, and caregivers. My focus includes anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, emotional eating, and behavioral patterns affecting weight and functioning.
I do not provide medication management, but I refer patients to prescribing providers and offer clinical recommendations to support continuity of care. My approach centers on assessment, stabilization, and practical behavioral strategies that patients continue at home to reinforce healing.
Thank you, Shannon Lewis, PMHNP-BC, DNP
I provide teletherapy for teens, adults, couples, and families, specializing in anxiety and depression. With experience across a wide range of mental health challenges, I offer compassionate, goal-oriented support tailored to you. My mission is to help you overcome obstacles and reach your fullest potential—on your schedule and in your own space.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, difficult emotions, or major life changes, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience helping individuals facing mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, personality disorders, and other life challenges. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Montevallo and strive to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and comfortable being themselves. My practice, Elpida Counseling, LLC, takes its name from the Greek word for “hope”—because I believe hope can exist even during the seasons when it feels hardest to find.
Hello! I have over 25 years of experience walking alongside individuals through both challenging and transformative moments. I believe people heal best when they feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients can safely explore their emotions, experiences, and personal growth without judgment.
I help individuals build resilience, expand their capacity to tolerate distress, and strengthen emotional regulation skills that support long-term well-being. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. I believe meaningful change happens over time, and I work to support clients in growing at a pace that feels both safe and empowering.
