Smiths Station & Phenix City Psychology We currently offer a variety of psychological services, including individual, couples/relationship, family, and group psychotherapy for a variety of concerns. We believe that many problems in life occur when people are not able to live and behave in ways that are consistent with their core values.
During periods of inconsistency, individuals can experience depression, anxiety, isolation, physical health problems, and grief. Our approach consists of a combination of diagnosis and evidence-based treatments which help bring consistency between a person's life and their values. When someone experiences balance in their lives, they experience improved enjoyment and happiness.

Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn't worth living.
Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When your mood shifts to mania or hypomania (less extreme than mania), you may feel euphoric, full of energy or unusually irritable.

This office and these people are absolutely amazing, could not complain at all. They have treated me wonderfully from the first phone call I made to Mrs. Nikki. They honestly care about their patients and wellbeing of others. I had an issue with my insurance and they handled it better than I could ever ask. I’ve never had a doctor of any field do as much for me as they did. They could’ve handled it differently as they had to RIGHT to but instead to keep a patient and to keep a patient HAPPY, they did the RIGHT thing and I couldn’t be more grateful for that because most medical facilities

Me thinking how can I help something that I dont know why I have it. Eric taught me to embrace myself and tell my anxiety where it can go in my own way. I did end up getting my medication refilled but I have fully for 3 months been off medication and have solely relied on the tools
