Healing happens when you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, OCD, family conflict, anger management, and cultural & ethnic identity concerns while also helping clients facing depression, trauma, stress, grief, ADHD, relationship challenges, women's issues, physical health concerns, and life transitions. With more than 17 years of experience in mental health, I bring a diverse background that includes private practice, school counseling, and serving as an Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant. These experiences have strengthened my belief that lasting growth happens through meaningful connections—with ourselves, our relationships, and our communities. Whether you're seeking support during a difficult season or looking to create lasting change, I'm committed to meeting you where you are with compassion, respect, and practical guidance.

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.

I’m an independently licensed therapist in Alabama, and my background includes working full-time as a substance use counselor while also providing evening virtual therapy. I especially enjoy working with teens and adults, and I’m drawn to this work because I believe therapy should help people feel more free, more grounded, and more like themselves again. It means a lot to me when someone trusts me with the parts of their life that feel messy, painful, or overwhelming. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be honest, feel respected, and begin building real momentum toward the life you want.

Kimberly Davis

Therapist

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Alabama, with over 20 years of experience working with individuals addressing mental and behavioral health issues. I have worked with diverse populations in various treatment settings to include: crisis stabilization, inpatient psychiatric and detox, residential, re-entry correctional facilities, out patient, and independent contract settings. I inherently believe that all human beings do the very best that they can, at any given time, with the knowledge skills and resources they have at that time. Life is full of changes and transitions, and many times the skills we used to cope during one phase, are not adequate for the next. I practice holistically, pulling from a vast array of theories and methodologies to help clients struggling with: self image/self esteem, stress management, relational discord, over thinking, life transitions, emotion regulation, mind body connection, role performance, assertiveness, boundaries, CNS dysregulation, and trauma.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Montgomery, AL

Finding postpartum therapists in Montgomery starts with looking for someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Postpartum care can include support for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity changes, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, pregnancy, or new parent support. Some therapists may also list a perinatal mental health certification, such as PMH-C, which can signal more focused training in prenatal and postpartum care.

Montgomery has a range of in-person and virtual therapy options, and the right format may depend on your schedule, infant care, transportation, and physical recovery. Virtual appointments can make it easier to access postpartum therapists beyond nearby offices, especially when local availability is limited or your schedule changes week to week. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for appointment times, therapy approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Bios can also help you understand how a therapist describes their style and what postpartum concerns they work with most often.

Therapy in Montgomery can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket price before you book. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer virtual or in-person appointments, and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
