Karmel Mayo

Are you longing for a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported? When anxiety, PTSD, depression, life transitions, etc. begin to weigh heavily, it can feel difficult to move forward. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where healing and hope can begin to take root.

I am a graduate of the University of Alabama’s Master’s program in Rehabilitation Counseling, with a focus on recovery, and I bring additional experience from working in foster care and educational settings. This background informs my trauma-aware, person-centered approach.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I integrate Lifespan Integration, mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused techniques to help clients understand how past experiences impact the present, develop effective coping skills, and move toward meaningful change. I work with the whole person—mind, body, and soul—while tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals.

In your first session, you can expect a warm, confidential space where we begin building trust and understanding. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, explore your experiences, concerns, and goals, and begin identifying your strengths and areas of focus. Together, we’ll start shaping an individualized approach that feels supportive, collaborative, and tailored to your needs.
