Hi my name is Antwan and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) in the state of Alabama and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia. I have been in the counseling profession for over a decade. Along with being a licensed therapist I teach as an adjunct professor in the graduate program for Counseling and Human Studies at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). My primary therapy approach is person-centered therapy. I help adult clients between the ages of 18-65 years old utilize identifiable resources on becoming aware of self by helping them to resolve barriers to personal growth. My primary areas of focus are mental health, substance abuse, gay/lesbian issues, anxiety, and depression.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
As a therapist, I use this treatment method to provide a nonjudgmental environment conducive to honest self-exploration.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
A short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems.
Strength-Based
As a therapist, I encourage clients to capitalize on their strengths rather than focus on negative characteristics.
Reality Therapy
The primary goal of reality therapy is to help clients find better ways to fulfill their needs. The counselor teaches the client how to evaluate their behavior, make plans for change, and set goals for themselves.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
As a therapist, I aim to help a person challenge unhelpful thoughts to avoid negative emotions or behaviors.
