Introduction

Are you feeling stuck between who you are and who you know you were meant to be? I'm Brion Carlson, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Birmingham area. I specialize in depression, anxiety, and addiction — particularly when these have deeper roots in struggles with meaning, authenticity, shame, loneliness, or loss of purpose. I also focus on other blocks to authenticity, such as people pleasing, perfectionism. and high-achiever burnout. I draw on four complementary approaches — DBT for practical skills, ACT for deeper change, and EMDR and IFS to uncover and rework the patterns that keep you stuck. Woven together, these approaches build both the skills and the self-understanding that lasting change requires. Good therapy both supports you and challenges you to find your higher Self and reconnect with the energy and courage it takes to live your values. If you're ready to build a life worth living and a Self worth living it, I offer in-person sessions at TherapyWorks near Hwy 280's Greystone / Meadowbrook area and telehealth across Alabama. I'm currently accepting new clients.
