Devin Williams
Hi! I’m Devin, a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Minnesota. I hold a Master of Social Work degree from University of Alabama (Roll Tide) and a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology and gerontology from William Carey University. For over 9 years, I have been dedicated to empowering individuals to live a more resilient life. I have provided mental health services in the areas of child welfare, inpatient psychiatric assessments, medical social work, and counseling. I have experience working with all ages. As a therapist, I specialize in the treatment and support of young women (18-35) dealing with anxiety, life-transitions, and stress. My therapy style is described as warm, empathetic, and interactive. The clients I serve typically describe themselves as feeling “stuck”. Together, we work on resolving the core issues that are keeping them stagnant. You can learn more about me at www.resilienttherapypllc.com I look forward to working with you!

Allison Crotwell
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience working as a therapist in various inpatient and outpatient settings. I have worked with clients on multiple concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, parenting problems, career, and life transition challenges. In addition, I have extensive experience in working with clients who struggle with behaviors and symptoms related to obsessive-compulsive disorders, attention deficit, and hyperactivity disorders such as ADD and ADHD. My therapeutic approach varies but is always client-centered. Through a strengths-based and solutions-focused lens, I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals. For example, through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist clients in exploring relationships among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to aid in discovering dysfunctional thought patterns leading to self-destructive behaviors and beliefs. Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I support clients through developing skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation to move clients towards a life involving the capacity for experiencing joy and freedom. It takes courage and effort to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and if you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you.

Marissa Kent
Hi! My name is Marissa Kent and I am a licensed professional counselor in the states of Mississippi and Louisiana. I have over a decade's worth of experience in the mental health field, the last eight of those years working with various populations as a counselor/therapist. I have worked with individuals dealing with a range of concerns and have the most experience with depression, anxiety and stress, anger management, and relationship issues. I got into the field of counseling because I love helping people. There are few things better than seeing someone reach a goal or fulfill their potential. I believe in treating people with respect and getting to know their story. It helps me gain a deeper understanding for who they are, the family and cultural values, beliefs, and traditions they hold dear, and the goals they would like to achieve in counseling. My approach in counseling is an eclectic mix that primarily combines cognitive behavioral and person-centered techniques, but the specifics of how I work with each individual is as unique as the individual. I realize that it can be challenging to tackle some of life's concerns head-on, so my goal is to empower you by highlighting the strengths you already possess and give you additional tools needed to accomplish your goals. Congratulations on taking the first step! I look forward to working with you.

Dr. Tangela Roberts
I am a licensed psychologist in Alabama with 6 years of professional work experience and training in psychodynamic, family systems, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and emotion-focused (EFT) therapies. I understand that there is tremendous pressure from society, family members, and friends to be or act in a certain way. We can flesh out these other voices so that you will be able to find your voice. In doing so we can explore certain roles that pan out in your life (family roles, social roles, etc), as well as using our interactions as a way to understand how interaction with others plays out in your life. I have experience in helping clients with lgbtq+ related issues, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I realize how hard starting therapy can be, but I think that you are making the first step towards change.
