Emelie Vines

Licensed Professional Counselor

Hello! My name is Emelie Sara Vines and I am honored to provide a safe and welcoming space where we can navigate life’s complexities together. I strongly believe that everyone wants to do their best, but sometimes we all need a little support to discover our strengths and become our healthiest, most capable selves.

“Anything that's human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable.” Honestly, Fred Rogers said it best. Sharing space to hear your story and helping you find ways to make the mentionable manageable would truly be an honor.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Secondary Education and Language Arts and my master’s degree in School Counseling from the University of Alabama. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I shifted into clinical counseling from school counseling because I recognized the growing need for accessible mental health services for children and adults alike. My experiences in schools helped me gain a deeper understanding of the many challenges, expectations, and pressures that children, adolescents, and adults carry daily.

My therapeutic approach is blended and grounded in Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), and Solution-Focused therapies. I believe therapy should be tailored to each individual, honoring their unique experiences, abilities, and needs. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves and the ways they move through the world while recognizing the strengths and skills they already possess. 

I have experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, social anxiety, grief, life transitions, trauma, and the demands of school, work, and everyday life. I especially enjoy working with students, educators, and those in public service careers as they navigate life's challenges.

I would be honored to hear your story and work alongside you, whether that be in-person or via telehealth.
