Maddison Kirschner, LMFTA (Ozark & Enterprise office)
Hi Everyone, I specialize in helping couples and individuals rebuild connection, clarity, and confidence during life’s most challenging seasons. I provide compassionate couples therapy for partners navigating communication issues, separation, infidelity, or emotional distance, as well as individual counseling for adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. I am also certified Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) , offering effective support for parents of young children (ages 2–7) facing behavioral or emotional challenges.
Through warmth, empathy, and evidence-based techniques, I help clients strengthen relationships, restore peace at home, and rediscover their sense of self.
I offer in-person sessions in Ozark, Alabama, Enterprise, Alabama, and telehealth therapy throughout the state of Alabama, making support accessible wherever you are on your unique journey.
I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I am committed to providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe to explore your challenges and grow at your own pace.
One of my favorite quotes is "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them."-Albert Einstein. Start your journey today.
As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I am under the supervision of Dr. Haines, LMFT-S. I currently accept Medicaid insurance and Self-pay. I provide therapy in person and via secure telehealth across the state.
Dr. Chelsea Singleton, DSW, LICSW (Ozark Office)
You deserve a space where you can take off the mask and be fully yourself. I help teens, adults, couples, and families work through trauma, addiction recovery, life transitions, and identity challenges so they can reconnect with who they truly are and live with greater authenticity and peace.
My approach is trauma-informed, nonjudgmental, and deeply compassionate — focused on helping clients feel safe enough to explore the parts of themselves they’ve had to hide. Many of my clients have faced difficult pasts, involvement with the justice system, or experiences of domestic or sexual abuse (DV/SA) that left them feeling uncertain or disconnected. Together, we work to heal the past, strengthen self-worth, and build a future grounded in hope and self-acceptance.
I also support clients managing depression, anxiety, self-harm behaviors, and self-image concerns, helping them break free from perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the fear of not being enough. In therapy, we focus on finding your voice, reclaiming your story, and building emotional resilience for lasting change.
Holding Doctorate in Social Work, I bring both advanced clinical knowledge and heartfelt empathy to my work. I offer in-person sessions in Ozark, Alabama, and telehealth therapy across the state — providing a safe, supportive space where you can feel seen, valued, and real. I accept Bluecross/Blueshield, Aetna and Medicaid. Other insurances coming soon.
Kathryn Hope Bates, LPC (Ozark Office)
Healing from trauma takes courage — and you don’t have to do it alone. I specialize in helping women, men, and children recover from trauma, grief, and emotional pain through compassionate, evidence-based therapy.
My approach combines EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with warmth, empathy, and deep understanding to help clients find safety, strength, and lasting healing.
With over 26 years of experience in education, ministry, and mental health, I understand that every story is unique. Many of my clients come to me after feeling “stuck” or weighed down by painful memories. Together, we work to release the emotional weight of the past and rediscover hope, purpose, and confidence for the future.
I help children and teens who have faced difficult experiences feel safe and supported again, and I guide adults toward self-compassion, emotional balance, and renewed connection in their lives. My goal is to help each person build resilience, self-worth, and a deeper sense of peace — both within themselves and in their relationships.
Based in Ozark, Alabama, I provide therapy in person and via secure telehealth across the state. Whether you’re seeking trauma recovery, emotional healing, or renewed strength, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. I currently accept BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna and Medicaid and self-pay. Other insurances will be added in the future..
Sabrina Shaw, LMFTA (Ozark Office)
Life and relationships can be complicated — but healing and change are always possible. I help couples, individuals, and teens navigate challenges with communication, trust, and self-confidence so they can live more connected, meaningful lives.
As a Gottman Method Level 2 trained therapist, I use research-based tools to help couples break negative cycles, rebuild intimacy, and strengthen their emotional bond. Whether you’re newly married, long-term partners, or working to reconnect after conflict, I provide a safe and structured environment to grow together.
For teens and individuals, I offer compassionate support for family transitions after divorce, post-sobriety growth, and life stressors such as anxiety, low self-esteem, or uncertainty about the future. I also have a heart for first responders and their families, helping them process the unique emotional and relational challenges of their demanding roles.
My approach is built on trust, empathy, and understanding — helping you uncover your strengths, heal from past patterns, and create a more grounded, fulfilling future. Based in Ozark, Alabama, I provide therapy in person and via secure telehealth across the state.
As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I am under the supervision of Debra Jarrett LMFT-S. Sabrina currently accepts Medicaid and Self-Pay. Sabrina will be able to accept other insurance next year.
Fanetia Love, ALC (Ozark Office)
Everyone deserves a space where they can be seen, accepted, and supported for who they are. I specialize in helping clients with ADHD, anxiety, autism, depression, grief, and life transitions find balance, peace, and self-understanding in an affirming and inclusive environment.
I have a special passion for supporting teenagers, young adults, and women as they navigate life’s many changes — whether it’s postpartum adjustment, divorce, career shifts, or retirement. I also love working with neurodiverse and culturally diverse individuals and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, who may face unique challenges in being fully understood.
My therapy style is collaborative, compassionate, and empowering — I meet you where you are and help you build tools to manage challenges and rediscover joy. Whether you’re adjusting to a new phase of life, managing stress, or learning to navigate relationships, therapy can help you feel grounded and confident again. Based in Ozark, Alabama, I provide therapy in person and via secure telehealth across the state.
