ABOUT The Counseling Haven

The Counseling Haven in Bay Minette, AL, provides compassionate, research-driven trauma therapy and behavioral health therapy designed to help clients move from surviving to thriving. As an Associate Licensed Counselor under the supervision of Anna Barksdale, MSCP, LPC-S, I bring a professional and specialized approach to every session. My goal is to offer effective counseling services that meet each individual’s unique needs, whether they are seeking mental health counseling, stress management counseling, or family therapy. My expertise is strengthened by certifications that set me apart. I am a certified Master Practitioner in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a method that allows clients to process and resolve trauma faster and with lasting results. I am also certified in the Gottman Method for marriage counseling, providing evidence-based strategies to strengthen relationships. By integrating advanced trauma-focused interventions with proven therapeutic approaches, I provide a level of care that goes beyond traditional therapy settings. At The Counseling Haven, my therapy services are designed to empower clients without requiring them to re-live their trauma. This client-centered philosophy means every session is tailored to your specific goals, whether that involves anger management therapy, family therapy, or individual trauma recovery.

My approach combines the latest research in bilateral stimulation and memory reconsolidation with practical tools for everyday life. I have presented my work on these clinical applications at national and international conferences, which informs the high-quality care I provide locally. I recognize that every person’s journey is different, which is why my behavioral health therapy and mental health counseling programs are flexible, supportive, and focused on measurable progress. From addressing past trauma to improving present-day coping skills, I provide a safe and structured environment where healing can occur. Whether you are seeking marriage counseling, stress management counseling, or specialized trauma resolution, my goal is to help you reclaim your life and achieve meaningful, lasting change. At The Counseling Haven, I combine expertise, compassion, and innovation to create therapy experiences that truly transform lives. Clients experience faster results, deeper healing, and a renewed sense of hope through personalized, evidence-based care. I am committed to guiding each person on a journey from surviving to thriving, one session at a time.
