Hi, my name is Terra McGill. I am a licensed professional counselor, holding licenses in  Alabama and Tennessee. My  practice is located in the metro Birmingham area and I also offer virtual therapy for TN clients or those who prefer to meet from their own space. 

I have nearly 15 years experience working with children, families, and individuals on a community level during which I have become EMDR certified, specializing in treating trauma related stress, anxiety related disorders, depression, and parent/child relationship problems.

My passion for providing trauma informed care has developed through a combination of  life experiences and exposure to research validating that this is the most effective and ethical way to help individuals and families navigate most mental and relational health problems. 

I provide professional counseling services to individuals, children, and families. I offer services for parents and children as young as 0-5 and through all ages and stages. I am holistic and non-judgmental, prioritizing that all clients feel safe and accepted under my care. 

For individual clients, I am highly effective in helping individ

I provide professional counseling services to individuals, children, and families. I offer services for parents and children as young as 0-5 and through all ages and stages. I am holistic and non-judgmental, prioritizing that all clients feel safe and accepted under my care. 

For individual clients, I am highly effective in helping individuals improve how they feel while gaining the strength and tools needed to face life's challenges. I especially find a strong connection with the high achiever, the perfectionist, and the highly sensitive person. If this is you then I hope you will allow me to help you learn what it means to feel "good enough". My hope is that you will learn to be kinder to yourself, finding more presence, allowing yourself to slow down and enjoy life more fully.   

I also feel a strong connection when working with the adolescent and young adult. I feel that this stage in development is foundational in developing a healthy sense of self. Individuals in this stage of life often come into therapy with the goal to learn who they are and where they are going. I aim to provide a space where you may feel heard and supported through the many transitions that occur in this phase of life. Especially if you are struggling to navigate challenges while experiencing anxiety or trauma related stress. I will help you regulate and build the skills needed to find your path forward. 

When working within the family system, I love working with any parent who is struggling within the parent/child relationship. You may be feeling like you are failing, feeling overwhelmed with your child's difficult behaviors, or lacking that feeling of connection. No matter the issue, I am here for you. I truly want to help you become the parent you want to be. I want to support you to take better care of yourself as this translates into the shared goal of achieving healthy development for your child. I especially enjoy working with parents and children together to repair and strengthen connection through play. In play and other creative strategies, I will help you and your child find balance through increasing  positive and healthy parent/child interactions.        

My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, curiosity, compassion, and non-judgment. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where my clients and/or families will feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and feelings. I will provide a healing space where they can build the  skills and resiliency needed to thrive.

I view and respect each person within the framework of their unique history, culture, and family system. Whether I'm working with children, families, or individuals, I am always holding the broader system in mind.
