Our Story
Yellow Bird Counseling was founded with one simple belief: everyone deserves access to compassionate, high-quality mental health care in an environment where they feel seen, heard, and supported.
What began as a vision to provide individualized counseling has grown into an award-winning group practice serving children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families throughout Alabama. Over the years, we have expanded our team, strengthened our services, and remained committed to providing evidence-based care while creating a welcoming space where every client feels valued.
At Yellow Bird Counseling, we understand that seeking therapy is a courageous first step. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply looking to better understand yourself, we are honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing.
Providing Strength.
Supporting Hope.
Our mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care that empowers individuals, couples, and families to overcome life's challenges, strengthen emotional wellness, and create meaningful, lasting change.
We believe quality mental health care should be accessible, respectful, and personalized to every individual's unique story.
Healthier People.
Stronger Communities.
Our vision is to create healthier individuals, stronger families, and more resilient communities through education, advocacy, and exceptional mental health care.
We strive to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health by increasing access to quality counseling services, providing trusted educational resources, and fostering a community where seeking support is viewed as a sign of strength.
Our Values
Everything we do is guided by the values that define Yellow Bird Counseling.
Compassion
We meet every client with empathy, respect, and understanding.
Integrity
We are committed to ethical, professional, and evidence-based care.
Hope
We believe growth and healing are possible for every individual.
Inclusion
We proudly provide a welcoming environment for individuals of all backgrounds, including BIPOC communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people from diverse cultural experiences.
Excellence
We continually pursue growth, education, and innovation to provide the highest quality care possible.
Our Approach
Every person who walks through our doors brings a unique story, and we believe therapy should reflect that.
Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, we thoughtfully match clients with clinicians whose experience, personality, and therapeutic approach best align with each client's goals and preferences.
Our therapists utilize evidence-based treatment approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and other proven therapeutic modalities to provide individualized care.
