Emily Burgess

Emily Burgess

Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


If you understand why you feel the way you do but still can’t seem to change the patterns keeping you stuck, therapy can go deeper than simply talking about what’s wrong.

Hi, I’m Emily Burgess, LCSW, PMH-C, CMNCS, owner of Conduit Counseling Collective. I work with clients who may look like they’re functioning well on the outside but internally feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in old patterns, or exhausted from holding everything together.

My approach is warm, practical, collaborative, and whole-person focused. We’ll make space to understand your story and where your patterns came from—but we won’t stop there. I believe insight is most helpful when it leads to meaningful change in everyday life.

My work integrates evidence-based therapy with parts work, somatic approaches, nervous system regulation, and the connection between mental and physical wellbeing. When appropriate, we may explore how sleep, movement, nutrition, stress, relationships, and daily rhythms are impacting the way you feel. Mental health doesn’t exist separately from the rest of your body or your life.

I’ve worked in mental health since 2013 and have specialized experience in anxiety, life transitions, women’s mental health, and perinatal mental health.

Therapy with me is supportive, but it’s also active. I’ll bring curiosity, compassion, perspective, accountability—and probably some humor. You don’t need to have the right words or show up with everything figured out.

My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build trust in yourself, and turn insight into change that actually carries into your life.

Michael Azar

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Opelika, AL


I spent nearly 5 years working in the substance abuse treatment field, in a variety of different positions, and found my passion for helping people there. I completed my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Troy University in Montgomery. My clinical training for my master’s program began at an intensive inpatient behavioral healthcare facility for children aged 12–18 who were in DHR custody and subsequently in a private practice counseling setting.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, substance abuse and addictions counseling, and trauma counseling. My philosophy of counseling is based around the simple idea that every individual deserves to live a happy, healthy and whole life. A little help in counseling has the potential to go a long way to living happy, healthy, and whole.

Happy patient looking away

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 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
