Gottman Method Therapists in Jasper, AL

We all face difficult experiences that can seem unmanageable. You may be struggling with anxiety or depression or with old or new trauma. Perhaps your closest relationships have become a source of stress instead of a source of comfort. Maybe you are experiencing grief and loss. Going through these experiences results in a decline in your general well-being and happiness. My approach offers an in-depth understanding of your struggles to make long lasting changes in your life and relationships.

Do you feel lost and alone? Are you overwhelmed by anxiety or bitterness? Or is there a traumatic memory you can't seem to move past? You don't have do figure things out on your own. I offer both individual and couples counseling, with an emphasis on relationships and trauma. If you're struggling with relational wounds, grief related to a loss, or medically complicated situations, I would be honored to help you navigate a way forward. The only requirement is that you're willing to be curious and compassionate towards your story with me.

Are you emotionally and mentally distressed? Have you fought so much that you feel as though you don't have any fight left? Maybe you're experiencing conflict in your marriage and/or family relationships. You're unsure of what to do and where to turn. I have been there and understand the struggle.

I enjoy supporting couples seeking to clarify shared goals, address conflicts and increase their sense of appreciation for one another. Couples seeking guidance around navigating non-traditional partnerships, long distance, the management of finances, family planning, building and maintaining intimacy and improving communication among a myriad of other topics, generally find my approach helpful. I also support individuals managing symptoms of anxiety, depression and various life transitions.

I am licensed in both AL and TN. Together we will seek progress, not perfection. My therapy is relaxed and goal centered. I use humor when it allows, as laughter is good for the soul. We all have a longing for attention and responsiveness from our loved ones. When needs go unmet, we get stuck in patterns of automatic responses. I want client's to recognize needs, take responsibility, and learn how to better disrupt unhealthy patterns. My desire is to help you gain awareness and be more present with yourself and other people in your life.

The single most important factor predicting a successful outcome in therapy is the quality of the relationship between client and therapist. As you look for a therapist, keep in mind: feeling like that person gets you is the top priority. I am licensed in Alabama and Tennessee and have over 19 years of experience with a wide range of mental health settings and concerns. I use a systemic (relational) framework to help people balance individuality and togetherness, to better communicate their needs while listening to the needs of others, and to establish a clear sense of who they are.

I help couples who are tired of having the same fight all the time and wish there was some way to recapture the magic they felt early in their relationship. I also work with adults who are longing for deeper connections with others or who are working through changes in their beliefs and looking for help dealing with the inevitable ways this impacts their relationships. I particularly enjoy working with adults dealing with ADHD.

I believe that trust and rapport in a relationship are key. This is why I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental setting to allow you to discuss any struggles you may be facing, at your own pace.

Are you struggling with addiction, or loving someone who is? Are you worn out from the chaos and despair of it all? Despair and isolation does not have to be your new normal. I have navigated the chaos and confusion of betrayal and worked through the process of rebuilding my marriage. I started counseling years ago to fix my husband and discovered the real me in the process and found a place of great hope, purpose, & freedom. Today I work with couples to design and rebuild the marriage of their dreams. There is nothing that scares me in the marriage therapy work if both partners are willing to prioritize their relationship.

Every person has individual, unique experiences that they bring into the room, which means their own therapy needs may look very different than another’s. I am passionate about working alongside clients who are motivated to pursue lasting change in their lives, whether that be processing complex trauma, learning new relationship skills, navigating life transitions, or formulating healthy boundaries and self care practices. It can be painful to talk about and face the things that have brought you to the place you are currently in, but just like resetting a broken bone, the rewards of healing far outweigh the pain of healing!

I believe that all individuals have the ability to overcome life's struggles if they are given the needed tools and knowledge. My approach to therapy integrates highly effective therapy models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Gottman Method with a solution-focused mindset. I believe that the client is the expert of their own life but needs some help navigating and understanding their experiences and emotions.

Magdaline is passionate about working with couples to help them navigate negative emotional interactions. Have you ever heard “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it? Well, this is only partly true. Statements of criticism remain critical, even when it’s served warm. The Gottman Method provides practical tools to help couples manage conflict by recognizing and eliminating, what Gottman calls, “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” in communication: criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling (or you may know it as shutting down). Sound familiar?

Hi there, I'm Anna Gray. An LMFT who works with individuals and couples searching for a safe place to explore the difficulties of being human. None of us are immune to sadness, worry, grief, or relational hardship. Sometimes pressure, the heaviness of comparison, or stress can make us feel even more exposed. My priority is to support anyone ready to sort through difficult emotions and experiences so they can feel more united to their authentic self. Our time together will be spent uncovering the beauty, purpose, and strength inside you, and remembering the most important thing: you are worthy of love just as you are.

Life can be hard! If you are struggling with challenges such as: marriage or relationship issues, infidelity, anxiety, depression, divorce, job loss, or low self-esteem maybe it is time to do something different. If your current efforts to deal with relationships, emotions, and life's challenges just aren't working, it is probably time to get some help. Maybe you're unsure if counseling really works. Counseling is no "magic pill" that instantly fixes your problems! However, it does help many people change, heal, and improve their quality of life.
