Psychotherapy Services of Alabama Blog

All things mental health and therapy in Alabama. Here we'll post about various concepts that we find important, offer tips, and discuss ideas of how to promote mental health wellness. We only get one hour of therapy ever week or so. This is a hub where Dr. C and her team will cover topics that we don't always get to in session. Happy reading, and let us know if you have a topic in mind.
