Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Alabama

I’m passionate about facilitating your individual success. I strongly believe in collaboration and partnering to achieve your personal goals. I believe that you are the expert in your life and my role is to facilitate putting the puzzle together. My overall style is warm and compassionate.

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I am Romalyn Aaron, but you can call me Roma (like the tomato!). I have over 10 years of experience as a therapist working with all age groups from toddlers and the elderly. I have worked with a wide range of mental health disorders from adjustment disorders to anxiety and depression. I specialize in trauma, substance use disorders, familial relationship hardships, crisis intervention, and behavioral management. I obtained both a bachelor and a master degrees in psychology, a master in human services, a master in education, a master in counseling and doctoral level education specialist. I am currently working on my Doctorate in Education (EdD) in Community Mental Health Traumatology specialty. I am an Army combat Veteran with experience in working with Veterans and their families and connecting them with community services and resources. I am looking forward to working with you and be a part of your healing journey! I am here to help light up your path! Stronger together! See you soon!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Board Certified Counselor. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals and families to heal. My approach is deeply rooted in empathy—not just from my clinical training, but from my lived experience as a wife and mother of two. I understand the complexities of balancing family life with personal growth, and I am dedicated to helping my clients navigate those same hurdles with resilience.

You may already know why you overfunction, people-please, silence yourself, or keep repeating patterns in relationships that leave you drained. Insight matters, but it is not the finish line. I help people turn what they know into boundaries, emotional self-trust, and choices that reflect the life they are ready to lead.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist, a nationally certified counselor, a former adjunct psychology instructor in higher education, and the founder of Mental Health Monarchs. With more than 15 years of experience in mental health, including 6 years as a therapist, I work with adults navigating childhood trauma, emotional neglect, family dysfunction, identity concerns, and toxic relationship patterns.

My style is intuitive, culturally grounded, curious, and compassion-forward. We’ll explore what is underneath your patterns without making therapy feel stiff or overly clinical. We can leave the work voice outside. I’m not code-switching with you. Cool?

This space is best suited for people who are ready for honest reflection and willing to begin using new tools in real time, in real life. I give homework.

Are you feeling stuck in repeating patterns, struggling in relationships, or carrying stress that feels hard to untangle alone? I help individuals, couples, and families better understand themselves, improve communication, and create lasting change. With decades of experience in counseling, community mental health, and private practice, I offer a warm, thoughtful approach grounded in deep listening and practical guidance. My work focuses on relationship issues, anxiety, life transitions, family conflict, and personal growth.

When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to get caught in a cycle of anxious thoughts, emotional exhaustion, or self doubt that makes it hard to enjoy the things that once brought you joy. Anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, or difficult life experiences can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or constantly waiting for things to get better. You don't have to navigate that journey alone. I partner with individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and OCD so they can find greater emotional balance, regain confidence in themselves, and build a life that feels calmer, healthier, and more fulfilling. Working with adolescents and adults, I strive to create a supportive, judgment free space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered to make lasting change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a strong background in trauma-informed care, anxiety treatment, and grief work. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and respectful of your lived experience. I understand how past trauma, chronic stress, and life transitions can shape the nervous system and impact daily functioning, even when life looks “okay” on the outside. My role is to meet you where you are, without judgment, and help you make sense of your experiences while building practical tools for healing. I value authenticity, emotional safety, and meaningful connection in the therapeutic relationship.

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.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 30 years of experience working with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, chronic health issues, health anxiety, relationship/family issues. Courage is defined as "strength in the face of pain or grief" and "doing it depsite that fear." I respect that steps it takes to reach out for support and understanding! It says a great deal about your own readiness for change. I am both humbled and honored for the opportunity to be one of the people who might help you along the way!
