I am Janet P. Stoudenmire-Smith, owner of Alabama Wellness and Recovery Services and a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S). I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, families, veterans, and court-referred clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management concerns, substance use issues, family conflict, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to help clients find healing, hope, and wellness.
My approach to therapy is compassionate, supportive, and client-centered. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to work through life’s challenges. I focus on helping individuals build insight, develop healthier coping skills, strengthen relationships, and move toward healing, growth, and emotional wellness.
Clients can expect their first session with me to be a welcoming and supportive space where we begin getting to know one another. During this session, I gather information about your concerns, history, and goals for treatment while also giving you an opportunity to ask questions and share what brings you to counseling. The first session is designed to help us build comfort, identify your needs, and begin creating a path toward healing and growth.
