Mental health therapy services at Birmingham-Mountain Brook
#LiveAuthentic with professional counseling services
Ellie Mental Health in Birmingham-Mountain Brook, Alabama isn’t your average therapy clinic.

We strive to break down treatment barriers and provide you with customized counseling services that meet your therapy needs.
Individual Therapy
Work one-on-one with a therapist who will provide you with mental health care ...
Work one-on-one with a therapist who will provide you with mental health care individualized to your needs. Whether you are seeking treatment for a mental illness, support for a recent life change, or help in a specific area of your life, individual therapy is just between you and your therapist.
Couples Therapy
Attend therapy session with your partner – whether you’re just dating, engaged, or married. Couples therapy is a safe place to talk through relationship issues with a counselor you can trust, get help navigating a divorce, or build a strong foundation for the future.
Online Therapy
Attend therapy from the comfort and convenience of your home, or wherever else you have an internet connection. With online therapy, you get deep with your therapist while sipping tea in your favorite comfy chair, snuggled in your pajamas, or between work meetings.
Family Therapy
Work through family conflict with a therapist who can facilitate the conversation, work through harmful patterns, and improve communication skills. Family therapy is a group effort – bring your partner, the kids, the in-laws, stepchildren, your siblings, or whoever else is involved with your family dynamic.
Grief Therapy
Loss and bereavement can be immobilizing. You might not know how to move forward or what comes next. Grief therapy provides you with professional support as you work through loss, process any trauma, and navigate next steps.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Work through unresolved trauma and identify the areas of your life that trauma has impacted. Trauma-informed therapy means working with a therapist who has a deep understanding of the many ways trauma can affect your life and your overall sense of self, safety, and well-being.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy is a cutting-edge, evidence-backed treatment approach for treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and a wide range of mental health disorders. EMDR therapy often involves you talking about your trauma while moving your eyes back and forth to reprocess the traumatic experience.
We provide support for a wide range of mental disorders and common mental health issues at our Ellie Mental Health Clinic in Birmingham-Mountain Brook. No matter your concerns, your compassionate Ellie therapist will provide you with the non-judgmental care you deserve.
