Life can feel overwhelming when you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, chronic stress, or major life transitions. You may find yourself feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from others, or unsure how to move forward. I work with adults and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress management concerns, women's issues, relationship difficulties, anger management challenges, and life changes that can impact emotional well-being. With more than 12 years of counseling experience, I help clients better understand the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be contributing to their struggles while developing practical tools for lasting change. Whether you're coping with personal challenges, relationship stress, self-doubt, or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, therapy can provide a supportive space to gain clarity, build confidence, and create healthier ways of responding to difficult situations.

Greetings, my name is Mary Dawn Weston, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker.

Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting adults, teens, and families. I work with people who are often the “strong ones” in their lives—high achievers, caregivers, and those carrying quiet stress, anxiety, or burnout. My goal is to give you a space where you don’t have to hold everything together.
Background
- M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling
- Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
- 10+ years in residential and community mental-health programs, including clinical leadership roles
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.
My name is Latarsia Renee Williams, but feel free to call me Tarsia (pronounced like Tasha). I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama, and I have been working with clients since 2016. My professional background includes supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups across a range of settings such as youth programs, detention facilities, group therapy environments, and private practice. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2018 and became fully licensed in 2024.
I currently provide telehealth services to adults across Florida. I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, grief, emotional regulation, low self-worth, mood and attention challenges, and relationship concerns. I also offer Christian counseling for those seeking to integrate their faith into the therapeutic process.
Sometimes life feels heavier than it looks on the outside. You may be carrying anxiety that never seems to quiet down, grieving someone you love, trying to hold a relationship together, or simply wondering why you don't feel like yourself anymore. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to pretend you're okay with me. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can finally exhale, make sense of what you're experiencing, and begin finding steady ground again.
As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), I am passionate about helping people move beyond simply surviving and begin thriving! I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, supported, challenged, empowered to create meaningful change in your life, and did I say feel seen?! :-)
I enjoy working with individuals and families as well as children and adolescents. I collaborate with clients to identify their strengths and the areas where they wish to grow or change. I offer a safe and supportive environment for clients to process their emotions and be seen, heard, and validated. Ultimately, I strive to empower and challenge clients to create meaningful change and live wholehearted lives.
Life can feel overwhelming—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m an LICSW who creates a judgment-free space where you can show up as you are. Together, we focus on your strengths, your goals, and real tools to support growth and healing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Alabama
Searching for therapists in Alabama starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. Across the state, options vary between larger areas like Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile and more rural communities. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, or trauma. As you compare Alabama therapists, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and listed experience that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their style, what sessions may focus on, and which concerns they often support.
Location, scheduling, and format also matter when choosing a therapist in Alabama. Some people prefer in-person sessions near home or work, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility across the state. If you live outside larger metro areas, virtual therapy may give you more options than a local-only search. Before booking, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles closely can help you compare communication style, session structure, and approach before you decide.
The cost of therapy in Alabama varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who accept insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your plan details to confirm coverage for your specific location. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
