Hi Y'all! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I have been practicing for over 21 years. I am specially trained in co-occurring disorders of substance and mental health diagnoses. I love all people and want to help as many people as possible, to heal and move forward towards a healthier happier life. I hope to work with you soon!

I am a licensed social work therapist in Alabama. I have 25 years of experience in therapy and social services.

My name is Patrick Milam but I go by my middle name, Taylor. I specialize in alcohol and substance abuse, anxiety, stress management, and relationship concerns. I offer a supportive, compassionate space where clients can feel understood, build healthier patterns, and move toward meaningful change.

I earned my master's degree in social work from the University of Alabama in 2020 and am licensed as an independent clinical social worker (LICSW) by the Alabama Board of Social Work.

My goal is to help you feel encouraged, supported, and empowered every step of the way. Reach out when you're ready to get started.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, grief, or past trauma begin to take up more space than the life you want to live. You may be exhausted from carrying everything on your own, struggling to manage emotions, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. I work with adults and teens who are ready for change but may not know where to start. Together, we'll create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.

I am Julie. I am down to earth and relatable. I value working as a team to make my client feel seen and heard. I value helping the client to have break throughs that help them to make connections that will help them to get better and have more peace, freedom, healing, and understanding about how to have a happier life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.

I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.

Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.

I provide experiential-based counseling services for all ages. It is important to me that you have an experience in therapy that is uniquely yours. Standard talk therapy is not for everyone and that is why I offer other options that you may find more therapeutic and beneficial. During your intake consultation, I will help you choose a path that will best meet your needs.
