Grief counselors and therapists in Birmingham, AL

I spent nearly 5 years working in the substance abuse treatment field, in a variety of different positions, and found my passion for helping people there. I completed my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Troy University in Montgomery. My clinical training for my master’s program began at an intensive inpatient behavioral healthcare facility for children aged 12–18 who were in DHR custody and subsequently in a private practice counseling setting.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, substance abuse and addictions counseling, and trauma counseling. My philosophy of counseling is based around the simple idea that every individual deserves to live a happy, healthy and whole life. A little help in counseling has the potential to go a long way to living happy, healthy, and whole.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and strengths based. I focus on creating a space where you feel safe, welcomed, and able to be yourself without fear of judgment. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, life changes, or personal challenges, I work alongside you to understand what’s most important and support you in moving toward meaningful growth and lasting change.

When life feels heavy, it’s easy to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the version of yourself you want to be.

I help individuals navigate depression, anxiety, life stress, and major transitions while building confidence and clarity. I offer in-person sessions in Tennessee and telehealth for clients in both Tennessee and Alabama.

You want to experience joy, yet it feels out of reach. Healing from trauma using EMDR and feeling resilient and confident is within reach!

My passion is helping women to regain a feeling of control and authorship in their lives. I specialize in helping women with postpartum depression/anxiety, self-esteem issues and stress from life transitions. I received my Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Ohio State in 2008. I'm a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience.

I have been a SW for 29 years. I received my bachelors of social work from Southern University and A&M College and my masters of social work from Southern at New Orleans. As a SW, at DCFS/CW, I have served as in Investigations, Foster Care, Family Service, Adoption, and as a Child Welfare Supervisor, CW Trainer, and a CW Manager. PRN work included working in MH/SA, hospitals, hospice and school SW. I am a TBRI Pract. & adoption competent. I help people who seek help! I retired from DCFS on 01/21/2026. Please see link below on the impact I’ve made on people across the state and allow me to help you too. Please message me for an appointment. Thank you.

Hi, and welcome — I'm really glad you're here. I've been a licensed therapist for 8 years, and in that time I've sat with people through just about every kind of hard season: anxiety that won't let up, depression that makes everything feel heavy, the pull of substance use, anger that's costing you relationships, or a life transition that's left you unsure of who you are right now. Wherever you're starting from, you don't have to sort it out alone.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, anger management, relationship struggles, and the specific pressures that come with men's and women's issues. I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Troy University, and what grounds my work is a simple belief: change is possible for anyone willing to be honest with themselves — and I'll be right there alongside you for it.

Finding the right therapist matters. I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. My style is conversational, collaborative, and direct, balancing warmth with honesty and practical feedback. I work especially well with individuals impacted by trauma, chronic stress, and moral injury arising from high-responsibility environments, including veterans, first responders, and medical professionals. Many appear highly functional outwardly while privately struggling with anxiety, exhaustion, disrupted sleep, or feeling disconnected from themselves, others, or the lives they once recognized.

Thank you for taking a moment to view my profile. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I serve the adult and geriatric population. I am a proud graduate of both the University of Georgia Graduate School and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Clients seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, or PTSD should know that I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) bringing a uniquely informed perspective to remote care. My six years within the VA system and my background as an Army Retiree have given me specialized expertise in managing the complex challenges often associated with trauma, high-stress environments, and chronic mental health issues.

I am Dr. Robinette Muse, licensed professional counselor with a practice in Newnan,Georgia. I have practiced for twenty seven years and have been in the behavioral health field 40 years. My primary specialty is trauma and grief counseling and I treat ages four to ninety.

I have practiced in the community and in clinic settings, private and public mental health. My focus with my clients is to help them heal and thrive.

Personally I spend my non work time gardening and learning naturopathic healing. I am a proud mother of one son and a new daughter-in-love.
