Shay Jackson

LPC, NCC, C-DBT, Certified School Counselor

Welcome!

Therapy is often the first step toward greater self-awareness and emotional wellness, and I’m glad you’re here.

With over 20 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, families, and couples across all ages and backgrounds. My work has included domestic violence organizations, schools, and diverse community settings, and I approach therapy with cultural sensitivity and respect.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Certified School Counselor in North Carolina, Florida, and Alabama. I hold Master’s degrees in Counseling and Psychology, which allow me to both diagnose and treat mental health disorders using an integrative, evidence-based approach.

My therapeutic approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Play Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Humanistic/Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also incorporate mindfulness practices and have been using them for many years to support clients in cultivating balance and resilience.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, grief, OCD, PTSD, personality disorders, life stressors, and a wide range of other mental health concerns. My treatment approach is always tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and compassionate environment where healing and growth can take place.

Together, we will identify your goals, explore your challenges, and develop practical strategies to help you move forward. I believe every person has the capacity to heal, and I am honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

Leah Thompson

LPC

Leah Thompson LPC, (formerly Everett) is a Licensed Professional Counselor who graduated from Troy University with a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master’s in Counseling and Psychology. She has 11 years of experience working in the mental health field, including some significant time in the substance abuse counseling sector.

She is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and has years of experience in trauma and PTSD work. Leah enjoys using brain science in relation to mental health to create a better understanding of the challenges individuals face when it comes to feelings and behavior. Leah also likes to incorporate information regarding vitamins and supplements to aid in mental health care for those wanting an alternative to traditional medication or in conjunction with traditional medication. Leah is currently working on a course in Nutritional and Integrative Medicine to achieve certification as CIMHP, Certified Integrated Mental Health Professional.

Leah has lived in Alabama all her life. Additionally, she and her husband are raising their children in her hometown. Leah has a strong connection to family and an understanding of the importance of a solid support system.

Her attention in practice is focused on depression, anxiety, trauma, family dynamics, relationship issues and self-esteem. She has worked to develop a repertoire of therapeutic skills through the use of Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

When asked why she became a therapist, she explains, "I'm a therapist because I have learned that a vast amount of people feel isolated, overlooked, exhausted, worthless, sad, anxious and fearful. They need a person to listen to them. They need someone to explain to them they have value. They need skills to help them adjust their sadness and fear to joy and courage. I am a therapist because when I see people fight their battles in that way and I want to reach out and help. I can encourage. I can listen. I can be that support. I can teach them how to navigate life with a little more contentment and a little more joy."

Jennifer Warren

LPC

"Children inherit the qualities of their parents, no less than their physical features. The environment does play an important part, but the original capital on which a child starts in life is inherited from its ancestors. I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul." - Mahatma Gandhi

I believe that everyone has the ability to change their path. We all have scars; we all have a past. It is through love, understanding, and perseverance that we become more. Life led me to help others and allow them an outlet. I am passionate, honest, and at times brutally forward. I do not practice therapy in a cookie-cutter fashion and I believe this allows me to assist others differently. My modality is not better or worse than others. I am not here to force beliefs upon anyone. I am here to help you down the path you chose.

I have a BS in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice. I have an MS in clinical mental health counseling. I am also completing an MS in social sciences. I do not believe psychology is a soft science. The brain and its development are so intricate, how could that be soft?
