About me
I’m a clinical social worker licensed in Alabama with 15 years of experience providing therapeutic support. My practice focuses on helping clients manage stress and anxiety, overcome depression, build motivation, strengthen self-esteem and confidence, and navigate parenting challenges. I also have deep experience working with teens and young adults as they face life’s transitions, explore identity, and cope with the social and emotional pressures that often arise during these pivotal stages.
Creating a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared freely—without fear of judgment—is central to my approach. I believe in fostering a warm, open environment that encourages personal growth, emotional insight, and healing. It takes genuine courage to seek a happier, more fulfilling life and to take those first steps toward change. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or continuing to build on past progress, I’m here to support and empower you every step of the way.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mary Smith. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Very attentive and helpful therapist that works well with teens
