Hi, I’m Alyson—a behavioral health professional who believes that thoughtful care starts with clear communication and compassionate support. I specialize in making therapy approachable and effective through well-crafted documentation, creative client resources, and collaborative care planning.
I’m especially passionate about integrating tools like pharmacogenomic testing and psychoeducation to help clients make informed choices about their care. If you’re looking for someone who values both structure and heart in the therapy process, I’m here to support you.
Hi, I’m Dr. Olamide Alabi, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a passion for helping people navigate mental health challenges. I have over a decade of experience in mental health and substance abuse treatment, working in hospitals, community mental health centers, and recovery programs.
I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Samford University and hold multiple degrees in nursing, law, and agricultural economics. My diverse background, having studied in Nigeria, and the U.S., helps me provide culturally competent and inclusive care.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use disorders. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and empowered on their journey to wellness.
Loving someone who struggles with addiction can quietly take over your whole life. You worry constantly, you smooth things over, you set a boundary and then talk yourself right out of it, and somewhere along the way you lose track of your own needs. If that's you, I understand it in a way that goes beyond training. Alongside my years as a counselor, I've spent more than two decades in the Al-Anon community, and I work with adults who are worn down from caring for, worrying about, or trying to fix someone they love. You don't have to keep carrying it alone.
Hey there! I am a therapist that has a passion for helping individuals cope with ongoing life stressors. I want to assist people with building the best version of themselves. I specialize in working with those who struggle to manage their stress and/or anxiety. I love working with individuals who are struggling to navigate the complex world of relationships & parenting. I also enjoy helping those who struggle with financial stress and anxiety build a healthier relationship with money.
I believe the best mental health care begins with trust, compassion, and open communication. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences without fear of judgment.
I understand that reaching out for help isn't always easy, and I strive to meet each person where they are. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, life transitions, trauma, ADHD, or simply feeling overwhelmed, we'll work together to develop a treatment plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle.
I take a collaborative approach to care, combining evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy, education, and practical coping strategies. I want my clients to understand not only what we're treating but why certain treatments may be beneficial, so they feel informed and involved in every decision.
With years of experience in psychiatric care across inpatient and outpatient settings, I've worked with individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges. I believe healing isn't about being perfect—it's about making meaningful progress, building resilience, and finding balance in everyday life.
My hope is that every client leaves our appointments feeling heard, respected, and supported.
My practice is a good fit for clients who are looking for:
- Compassionate, nonjudgmental care
- Medication management with education and shared decision-making
- Practical tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning
- A provider who listens and works collaboratively
- Long-term support focused on sustainable mental wellness
I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward better mental health.
Shaped by own life experiences, I became a social worker to help people navigate the uncertainties of life. We have all gone through transitions in life from career changes to family changes. It can be really hard to do that alone. After earning my degree in social work, I dedicated my career to roles helping adults, youth, and family systems. I understand how difficult it can be to go through a separation/divorce, family changes, job changes, growing into teen years and added stress - especially while also trying to manage the day to day life. Ive been there myself! My mission is to foster hope, stability, a listening ear, and skills you can walk away with.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP) specializing in supporting women aged 20 and older through challenges such as trauma, attachment issues, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, codependency, and grief. I believe that true connection with others, ourselves and God is what brings true life and healing. My therapeutic approach is grounded in an attachment-focused lens, allowing the client and I to explore the root causes of emotional struggles and work toward lasting change.
Let’s get UNSTUCK. Therapy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, and healing and growth don’t have to come through more pain.
You may understand exactly what's causing a certain feeling or response and yet it still happens. You know you're safe but your mind/body responds as though you are not. You know you are capable but something keeps getting in the way.
I work with adults, teens, and children navigating trauma, anxiety, fears and phobias, grief, life transitions, perinatal experiences, and performance-related stressors. I also work with people who simply know something is getting in the way of how they'd like to be and are interested in accessing and perhaps expanding their potential.
Many of the people I work with have already put a lot of thought and effort into feeling better and gaining insight. You don’t have to have it figured out before you get here. My clients tend to be curious, motivated, and open to coloring a little outside of the lines. They often appreciate an active therapeutic process focused on creating clarity and change.
Sometimes the goal is deep relief from something painful. Sometimes it’s greater confidence, freedom, or the ability to show up more fully as yourself.
I’m a Rapid Resolution Therapy Certified Specialist and a National Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, with additional training in Brainspotting and other experiential and strength-based approaches.
