Hi, I’m Colleen Craig-Akinsanya, a Clinical Social Worker in Alabama. I've been a Social Worker for over 16 years and focused the last 7 years on providing direct mental health services.
My approach
I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, and solution-focused therapy.
My focus
My specialties include anxiety, grief/ bereavement, life transitions, and stress management.
My communication style
My counseling style is structured and flexible. Respect goes both ways in therapy.
My journey to mental healthcare
I feel I was pulled into the mental health field after working through my own troubled childhood and learning to manage my own Anxiety from that trauma. I was blessed to find a caring and relatable therapist early on who stuck with me on my journey! I would like to be that therapist for you.
My goals for you
I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles.
My first session with you
In the first session, we will dive into what brings you to therapy and a little about your background. My desire is that by the end of the first session, you will feel comfortable and confident that you have a safe and nonjudgmental place to start your journey to mental health wellness!
