This review is for Greg Evans:I truly hope that clients at this practice will receive down-to-earth and transparent guidance from Greg and his team. The reason I mention this is because I knew Greg Evans at a time when he started counseling whilst being a practicing priest/minister at St. Marys in Northport.My German husband and I used to frequent the location at the time. I sought him out during a very scary time after becoming a mother for the first and only time in my life. Yes, I was suffering from severe post partum depression. In 2006, not many people were aware of the effects and symptoms of this disease. It is a brave thing to do, to step forward and be transparent about your struggles in life, as I so was. I care very much about living my best life and will do all that is necessary to reach that goal.Greg Evans was a nice person...yes, he was down-to-earth and refreshing to the all-too religious and pompous state of Alabama. He recognized my symptoms as those of a depression. He listened to me, affirmed me and praised the art piece I created to describe the dichotomy of the joys and pains in my life. He learned a bit about how horribly abusive my father was to me in my childhood. I did the work, I paid him when his practice was not yet official -- after all, he was not a licensed psychologist/psychiatrist...or counselor, for that matter. It did not matter to me then, any help was greatly appreciated.Eventually, I opened up to Greg about how the depression was affecting both me and my husband. I invited him to our home, where I told him that I had thrown a baby chair at my husband in a fit of rage, although it did not hit him. I was taking meds at that time prescribed to me by a doctor. I told him, because it was odd of me to behave this way and it scared me. I risked embarrassment and told all, nonetheless, because it was help that I wanted. I would do ANYTHING that was deemed good, to escape becoming like my father.What a humbling moment that was. But little did I know then, the meds and the dosage were the cause of exaggerated behavior.Soon, he started to advise my husband and I -- sometimes, separately. He opened an office in Birmingham. I had been there a couple of times. I started to notice, however, that my husband would have more meet times set up with Greg, than I. Okay, thats fine, I thought. Then, I started to notice a change in Gregs attitude that left me puzzled. We had not fallen out with one another, so why was he so short with me?Meanwhile, I receive a phone call from Greg. He is to-the-point and suggests that I start counseling with Susan Goertz. I knew of her from past associations. However, the decision needed to be mine. He was quick to hang up and I was to call Susan, if I needed any further assistance. I was confused. There was nothing inappropriate that had launched between us.Meanwhile, I was off meds by my own accord; and my morale was improving greatly. I had found counseling through someone else.To make a long story short, I learned that Greg had secretly been advising my husband to consider the possibilities of me having BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and gave him books on how to leave a BPD partner. My husband also told me that Greg told him not to tell me about any of this. Even though Greg never ever mentioned BPD to me when I sought out his therapy and he was not allowed to even suggest a diagnosis as a non-licensed therapist! I felt so betrayed by him. It hung over me like a dark cloud for a long time, until I drove myself to a mental clinic, in order to unveil the truth of myself.A psychiatric doctor spoke intensely with me and confirmed my diagnosis as Depression and PTSD. He said that BPD was far from the truth and found that I was getting on quite well, considering the things Ive endured.Im trying to be objective and honest here. This was bad practice and people were hurt and mislead. I accept any criticism or judgements that may come to me, but I have nothing to be ashamed of. I hope he is practicing honestly today.

I can not say enough good things. If you are looking for counseling I 100% recommend. I was very nervous to get started on my journey to be a better version of myself but I took the first step and made an appt, I immediately felt comfortable and each session has been better and better. I feel I have been given tools to use each day to work on myself and it has been wonderful.

He is the best!! Super sweet and helpful. Beautiful lobby and wonderful staff.
