Who We Are

Our Practice

Our experience in counseling enables us to offer effective outpatient, individualized, psychological care. We treat a number of mental health disorders, and provide a neutral ground to individuals, families, and couples. 

Our Treatment Focus

Our focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a counseling treatment plan. 

Our Patient Promise

We would be honored to walk with you through your journey of self-development and growth. Our goal is to help you heal from your struggles such as depression & anxiety and develop the skills to live a more abundant life.

Our Therapy

Depression & Anxiety

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you grow in motivation, perspective, joy and peace/contentment. 

 

Trauma & PTSD

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing. 

 

Relationships

Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are wanting to strengthen their emotional connection. Therapy sessions are held with couples and is a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to help with effective communication, life goals, and intimacy.     

Meet Our Counselors

 Regina Turner, LPC, NCC: There is hope for all! After being a teacher in public schools for 14 years and a director of a faith-based non-profit that helped troubled teens and parents, for 2 years, I decided to go back to school to become a licensed therapist. I enjoy "walking" beside of people who are hurting and struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, relationships and/or depression. I work with young adults, teens, adults, and couples. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother trying to love others right where they are. 

Hey I'm Courtney Benjamin and I am one of the counselors here at HCT! I believe that people are born with enormous potential! That being said, sometimes situations occur in people’s lives which directly or indirectly impact the pace at which one may reach that potential. When people are able to identify at what point they stopped being an author in their lives, they can go back, pick up the pen, and begin re-writing their story. I bring an eclectic approach to the therapeutic relationship. I identify greatly with Adler’s view of what is healthy, in which an individual is understood within the context of his/her various social relationships. However, I also incorporate tenets of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy in consideration of a client centered treatment plan. Are you where you would like to be in relation to your career, family, health, education, or spirituality? Has your life become slightly, or significantly out of balance? Just as physical exams are facilitated to maintain wellness within the physical body, counseling “check-ups” are useful in achieving and maintaining mental health wellness. I have over 14 years of experience working with the adolescent population in various settings. In addition, I have extensive experience navigating the therapeutic journey with individuals ranging from ages 5-45 seeking assistance with various life obstacles. I welcome the opportunity to use the skills that I have attained in counseling to help others “take back their pen” for years to come.

Jennifer George, LPC, NCC. Jennifer has had more than 10 years experience in counseling and mental health in a variety of settings.  She has an eclectic model of therapy with a huge concentration in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In addition, she comes from a Client Centered base where she believes the client and patient has the ability to overcome past wrongs and hurts and the ability to create new habits and ways of thinking to live more fully in the present.  Jennifer has experience working with children and adults in both group and individual settings.  She has experience in working with issues ranging from mood disorders, anxiety, family dynamics, to trauma.  As a school counselor she has led group-therapy on various topics such as “tips for success” and  “beyond death and/or divorce.” Jennifer is a person who cares about her clients and patients and enjoys the opportunity to help then learn and grow.  Jennifer is a wife, mother and grandmother.

My name is Kate Crawford and I am a therapist with Human Connections Therapy. I graduated from the University of Alabama with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am licensed as a professional counselor and supervising counselor. I have over 10 years of experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings, mainly with adults and young adults. I have worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, physical and emotional trauma, and addiction. I use a variety of different approaches to counseling but lean heavily towards cognitive behavioral therapy and existentialism. 

I believe that with counseling, people are able to reach their full potential and lead healthier, happier lives. As a counselor, I love seeing clients find happiness from within and work to be the best version of themselves. My counseling style is warm and compassionate and I always strive to approach clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.  I am so glad that you have reached out for help and I look forward to getting to know you!
