Getting care in Alabama
Alabama ranks among the states with the fewest psychiatric providers per capita, and a large share of its counties are federally designated mental health shortage areas.
We see patients across Alabama by video — including Birmingham, Montgomery, Huntsville, Mobile, Tuscaloosa and Auburn, and every community in between. Because care is delivered remotely, where you live in Alabama makes no difference to whether you can be seen.
What we treat
- Depression and persistent low mood
- Anxiety, panic and health anxiety
- PTSD and trauma
- Bipolar disorder
- Sleep problems and insomnia
- Grief, burnout and life transitions
Therapy and medication in one place
Most people who need both end up with a therapist who cannot prescribe and a prescriber who has fifteen minutes and no context. The two rarely talk.
Here, therapy and medication management are available from the same board-certified psychiatric provider. If something is not working, that is one conversation.
Other care available in Alabama
One provider, so these are handled together rather than referred out.
