Michael Azar

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Opelika, 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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Alabama

Finding the right therapist in Alabama starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Common reasons people seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions. Alabama is home to a range of licensed mental health professionals — including licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed clinical social workers (LICSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus. If you need medication management alongside talk therapy, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit.

With providers spread across Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery, Mobile, Tuscaloosa, and smaller communities throughout the state, practical factors like location and scheduling matter. Virtual therapy has made it easier to connect with a licensed provider regardless of where you live in Alabama, which is especially helpful in areas with fewer in-person options. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, specialties, and what a session with them looks like.

Therapy in Alabama can vary in cost depending on your provider and plan, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find a provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
