My name is Heather D. Windham, PhD, ALC, NCC, (she/her), and I am thankful you’ve decided

to begin the therapeutic process! I have previously worked as a school counselor, receiving my

Master’s Degree in School Counseling in 2018. I then earned my Doctorate Degree in

Counseling Education in 2022. I currently work full-time as an Assistant Professor at the

University of Alabama at Birmingham in addition to working with Warrior Wellness Group part

time. I am currently an Associate Licensed Counselor (ALC) through the Alabama Board of

Examiners in Counseling, under the supervision of Charles Duer, LPC-S. I also am a Nationally

Certified Counselor (NCC) and certified school counselor in Alabama.

​

While I do work with adults as well, I primarily work with children and adolescents, and their

families. I utilize a play therapy approach to counseling, which means that I take the focus off

talking and spend more time getting to know you and your child in a fun way. Sometimes

children have a hard time communicating their thoughts and feelings with words, so this

approach gives them a tool for communication that tends to come more naturally for them. I

also value person-centered counseling, which allows me to focus on you or your child’s

strengths and abilities as they are. When I work with adults, I will use play therapy within your

comfort level. However, I lean more towards person-centered therapy with adults to give you

the space to share your concerns and process them in a way that works best for you.

​

Thank you again for taking the time to visit my webpage today. Finding a therapist and starting

this process can be exciting, but also overwhelming sometimes. My goal is to create a safe

therapeutic space for us to work through any difficulties you may be facing right now. I hope

that I get the privilege of meeting you soon. I’d love to hear more about what makes you who

you are!

 

I currently accept Medicaid and cash-pay clients.
