Dr. Haley Beech, PhD MSW LMSW
Specializing in Women’s Issues, Parenting and Perinatal Health
Dr. Haley Beech believes that intentionality is critical in many areas of life, but particularly in the therapeutic setting. She focuses on ensuring that her therapeutic environment is calm and comforting, making it a safer space for her clients to share their experiences. With her strong listening skills, she approaches each client with empathy, welcoming their true selves. Haley sees therapy as a mutual relationship rather than a one-sided experience, working collaboratively with clients to find meaningful and effective ways to process their journeys.
Haley strongly believes that trauma is not only stored in the mind, but also embedded in the body. This perspective highlights her practice’s emphasis on combined mind, body, and spiritual care. She offers Brainspotting, a psychotherapy technique that utilizes eye movements to help clients process difficult emotions and traumatic experiences. Haley also understands that safety is vital for effectively processing distressing events and living with chronic pain. Therefore, she prioritizes building rapport and establishing security in the therapeutic relationship before delving into deep trauma work.
Dr. Beech currently offers individual and group therapy, in-person and online. She is particularly passionate about group therapy for women, creating a safe and supportive space for clients to share their experiences. Haley also has a background working with college students and young adults learning to navigate adulthood.

Her compassionate approach ensures that clients feel understood and accepted.

Pamela Hayes, MSW LMSW
Specializing in Trauma, Anxiety, and Chronic Pain
Pamela Hayes, LMSW, is a skilled and compassionate clinical social worker offering teletherapy services to clients across the state of Alabama. A graduate of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Pamela draws on her extensive experience in inpatient psychiatric care to support adults recovering from complex PTSD, OCD, anxiety, comorbid disorders, depression, chronic pain, and chronic illness.
Pamela approaches therapy as a collaborative journey, viewing emotional challenges as opportunities to develop compassion, acceptance, and love for all aspects of yourself. Unlike cognitive and behavioral therapies that may focus primarily on talking, Pamela incorporates somatic and experiential modalities like Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Lifespan Integration. These approaches help clients navigate through the trauma held in the body and emotions that are often avoided or suppressed.
By addressing the physiological effects of trauma and facilitating mind-body integration, Pamela guides clients to release deeply held patterns and restore a sense of wholeness. Her non-pathologizing style blends these experiential techniques with other evidence-based modalities like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), creating a personalized plan for profound healing and transformative growth. With Pamela’s support, clients develop the tools to regulate their nervous system, build resilience, and cultivate a greater capacity for presence and connection in their lives.

Understanding Teletherapy in Alabama: A Comprehensive Guide
Teletherapy represents a significant advancement in how mental health services are delivered across Alabama. This therapeutic approach utilizes secure video conferencing technology to connect clients with licensed therapists, creating a virtual therapy room where meaningful healing can take place. For many Alabama residents, especially those in rural areas where mental health resources are limited, teletherapy has become an essential lifeline to professional care.
The Alabama Board of Examiners in Psychology and other state licensing boards have established clear guidelines for teletherapy practice, ensuring that online services maintain the same high standards as traditional in-person therapy. Licensed therapists providing teletherapy must adhere to strict protocols regarding client confidentiality, session security, and professional ethics. This regulatory framework protects clients while expanding access to vital mental health services throughout the state.
Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of teletherapy across various therapeutic modalities and for diverse mental health concerns. Research published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology found comparable outcomes between teletherapy and in-person sessions for conditions including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. These findings are particularly relevant for Alabama residents who may have previously gone without treatment due to geographical or mobility limitations.
Insurance coverage for teletherapy has expanded significantly in Alabama, with many major providers now offering reimbursement for virtual mental health services. The Alabama Telehealth Act, along with federal legislation, has helped establish parity between teletherapy and traditional therapy sessions. However, coverage details vary by plan, and we recommend verifying your benefits before beginning treatment.
The Comprehensive Benefits and Considerations of Teletherapy in Alabama
Advantages of Choosing Teletherapy
The convenience factor stands as perhaps the most immediately apparent benefit of teletherapy for Alabama residents. By eliminating travel time and associated costs, teletherapy makes consistent mental health care vastly more accessible. This convenience extends beyond mere time savings—it represents a fundamental shift in how therapy integrates into daily life. Clients can schedule sessions during lunch breaks, early mornings, or evenings without the additional burden of commuting, making regular attendance more sustainable long-term.
Privacy concerns often prevent individuals from seeking mental health support, particularly in smaller Alabama communities where confidentiality may feel compromised when visiting a therapist’s office. Teletherapy offers a discreet alternative, allowing clients to participate in sessions from the privacy of their homes, vehicles, or other secure locations. This enhanced privacy has proven especially valuable for clients working through stigmatized issues or those concerned about workplace discrimination related to mental health treatment.
The expanded access to specialist care represents another significant advantage of teletherapy in Alabama. Many communities, particularly in rural areas, lack specialized mental health providers trained in specific therapeutic approaches or conditions. Through teletherapy, a client in a small town can connect with a specialist in Birmingham who focuses on their particular concern, whether that’s OCD treatment, trauma therapy, or specialized approaches for eating disorders. This democratization of specialized care helps ensure all Alabamians receive appropriate, targeted treatment regardless of their location.
Consistency in therapeutic relationships improves outcomes, and teletherapy facilitates this consistency even during life transitions. College students from Alabama can maintain therapy relationships when returning home for summer break. Professionals who travel for work can keep their regular appointment schedule despite being on the road. Even during inclement weather, which occasionally affects travel throughout the state, therapy sessions can continue uninterrupted through virtual platforms.
Important Considerations and Potential Limitations
Technology barriers present valid concerns for some Alabama residents considering teletherapy. While internet access has expanded throughout the state, some rural areas still face connectivity challenges that might interfere with video-based sessions. Additionally, clients with limited technology experience may initially feel uncomfortable navigating the platforms used for teletherapy. Our network of providers offers technological support and alternatives, including phone sessions when video isn’t feasible, to address these barriers and ensure all clients can access care.
The therapeutic relationship dynamics sometimes differ in virtual environments compared to in-person settings. Some clients and therapists value the subtle nonverbal cues that may be partially obscured in video sessions. However, experienced teletherapy providers develop enhanced skills for reading facial expressions and tone of voice, often compensating effectively for the different medium. Many clients report that after a few sessions, the screen seems to “disappear,” allowing for authentic connection despite the physical distance.
Emergency situations require special protocols in teletherapy settings. Alabama therapists providing virtual services maintain comprehensive crisis plans tailored to each client’s location and circumstances. These plans identify local emergency resources and establish clear procedures for addressing urgent situations. While this additional planning represents an extra step in the therapeutic process, it ultimately ensures client safety within the teletherapy framework.
Insurance coverage for teletherapy has improved dramatically in Alabama, yet some plans still maintain different reimbursement rates or session limits for virtual care. Navigating these insurance considerations requires attention to detail and sometimes advocacy. Our administrative team assists clients in understanding their benefits and maximizing coverage for teletherapy services, helping to mitigate this potential limitation.
Teletherapy Benefits for Specific Alabama Populations
Transformative Benefits for Single Mothers
Single mothers across Alabama face unique challenges balancing childcare responsibilities with personal needs, including mental health care. Teletherapy offers a transformative solution by eliminating the need for childcare during therapy appointments. Sessions can be scheduled during nap times, after bedtime, or even during a child’s independent play in another room. This flexibility removes a significant barrier that has historically prevented many single mothers from accessing consistent therapeutic support.
The financial accessibility of teletherapy further benefits single-parent households, which often operate under tight budget constraints. By eliminating transportation costs and reducing time away from work, teletherapy becomes economically viable for many single mothers who might otherwise forgo mental health support. Additionally, the specific stressors of single parenting—including co-parenting challenges, work-life balance, and managing household responsibilities alone—can be addressed through specialized therapeutic approaches available through our single parent support programs.
Single mothers in Alabama’s rural communities particularly benefit from teletherapy’s reach. In counties with limited mental health resources, virtual therapy connects women with specialists trained in supporting single parents through life transitions, parenting challenges, and personal growth. This specialized support, previously inaccessible to many, helps build resilience and coping skills that benefit both mother and children, creating intergenerational positive change.
Supportive Care for Nursing Mothers
The postpartum period presents unique mental health challenges, with nursing mothers facing additional logistical hurdles to accessing traditional therapy. Teletherapy eliminates these barriers by allowing nursing mothers to participate in sessions while feeding their infants, maintaining their breastfeeding schedule without interruption. This accommodation proves essential for establishing and preserving breastfeeding relationships, which many Alabama mothers prioritize for their infants’ health.
Postpartum mood disorders, including depression and anxiety, affect approximately 15-20% of new mothers in Alabama. Early intervention improves outcomes, yet traditional therapy often feels unmanageable during this intense phase of motherhood. Teletherapy provides accessible support during this vulnerable period, with specialized providers trained in perinatal mental health available throughout the state via virtual platforms. These specialists understand the unique intersection of physical recovery, hormonal shifts, identity changes, and relationship adjustments that characterize the postpartum experience.
For nursing mothers experiencing isolation, particularly in rural Alabama communities, teletherapy offers connection beyond the therapeutic relationship. Therapists often refer clients to virtual support groups and resources specifically designed for nursing mothers, creating community despite geographical limitations. This holistic approach addresses both clinical mental health needs and the social support essential for maternal wellbeing.
Compassionate Solutions for Those with Chronic Pain
Chronic pain affects approximately 20% of Alabama adults, creating complex challenges that often include mental health components. The interrelationship between physical pain and psychological distress creates a cycle that benefits from integrated treatment approaches. Teletherapy allows individuals with chronic pain to access mental health support without the physical strain of traveling to appointments—a journey that often exacerbates symptoms and creates recovery setbacks.
Our network includes specialists trained in pain psychology and therapeutic approaches specifically designed for chronic pain conditions. These evidence-based interventions—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based techniques—help clients develop adaptive coping strategies while addressing the emotional impact of persistent pain. Through teletherapy, these specialized services reach clients throughout Alabama, including rural areas where such expertise would otherwise be unavailable.
The unpredictable nature of chronic pain flares presents another barrier to traditional therapy that teletherapy effectively addresses. Virtual sessions can be conducted from beds or recliners during symptom flares, allowing therapeutic continuity even during difficult periods. This flexibility proves particularly valuable for conditions like fibromyalgia, migraine disorders, and autoimmune diseases that feature unpredictable symptom patterns. By maintaining therapeutic momentum despite physical setbacks, clients progress more consistently toward their mental health goals.
The intersection of pain management and mental health often involves coordination between multiple healthcare providers. Teletherapy facilitates this integrative approach, with virtual platforms enabling secure communication between therapists, pain specialists, primary care physicians, and other members of the treatment team. This collaborative care model, enhanced through technology, improves outcomes for Alabama residents navigating the complex landscape of chronic pain management.
Essential Access for Those with Mobility Challenges
For Alabama residents with permanent or temporary mobility limitations, teletherapy removes physical barriers that have historically prevented access to consistent mental health care. Individuals using wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility aids often encounter obstacles in traditional therapy settings, from transportation challenges to inaccessible office environments. Virtual therapy eliminates these concerns entirely, creating truly accessible mental health services regardless of physical capability.
Alabama’s rural geography and limited public transportation infrastructure present additional challenges for those with mobility restrictions. Many counties lack adequate accessible transportation options, effectively isolating individuals with mobility impairments from vital services. Teletherapy bridges this gap, connecting clients with therapists specializing in disability adjustment, chronic illness management, and other relevant approaches without requiring physical travel.
The psychological impact of mobility limitations—including themes of independence, adaptation, and identity—requires specialized therapeutic understanding. Through teletherapy, Alabama residents can connect with providers experienced in addressing these specific concerns, regardless of geographical proximity. This targeted support helps clients navigate both the practical and emotional dimensions of mobility challenges, developing resilience and adaptive strategies that enhance quality of life.
For individuals experiencing temporary mobility restrictions following surgery, injury, or acute illness, teletherapy provides continuity of mental health care during recovery periods. This uninterrupted support proves particularly valuable during rehabilitation processes, which often involve significant psychological adjustment alongside physical healing. Teletherapy allows clients to process these experiences in real-time with professional guidance, potentially improving rehabilitation outcomes through integrated care.
Affordable Teletherapy Access: Our Sliding Scale Fees
We understand that therapy is a significant investment, and we strive to make expert trauma-focused care accessible to individuals across Alabama through a sliding scale fee structure. Many of our therapists offer reduced rates based on household income, ensuring that financial constraints don’t prevent access to quality mental health care.
Our standard sliding scale teletherapy rates for LMSW therapists are as follows, however not all LICSW licensed therapists use these rates:
$30,999 and Under – Session Rate: $80
$31,000-$40,999 – Session Rate: $100
$41,000-$50,999 – Session Rate: $125
$51,000-$60,999 – Session Rate: $150
$61,000-$70,999 – Session Rate: $150
$71,000 and Above – Session Rate: $175
Our sliding scale teletherapy rates are not billable to insurance. We offer these reduced fees to make expert care more accessible to Alabamians paying out-of-pocket for trauma treatment. Our therapists reserve a limited number of sliding scale spots for adults who are uninsured, underinsured, or have financial need.
While our therapists are not in-network with insurance companies, they can provide monthly superbills that you may submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We recommend checking with your provider to see if you have out-of-network mental health benefits.
Investing in your mental health is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself. Many of our therapists offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure their approach is a good fit for your needs before beginning therapy.
Beginning Your Teletherapy Journey in Alabama
Starting teletherapy represents a significant step toward improved mental health and wellbeing. For Alabama residents new to virtual therapy, the process begins with a complimentary consultation to discuss your specific needs, preferences, and goals. During this initial conversation, we’ll explore which therapist within our network might provide the best match for your situation, considering factors including specialization, therapeutic style, and scheduling availability.
The technical requirements for teletherapy remain straightforward and accessible for most Alabama residents. You’ll need a device with internet access—computer, tablet, or smartphone—along with a camera and microphone. Most built-in cameras and microphones work perfectly for teletherapy purposes. You’ll also need a private space where you can speak openly without concerns about confidentiality. Our team provides detailed instructions for accessing the secure platform before your first session, and technical support remains available should any questions arise.
Many of our therapists practice through Taproot Therapy Collective, located at 2025 Shady Crest Dr, Suite 203, Hoover, AL 35216. You can reach the office at (205) 598-6471.

Finding the Best Therapist in Alabama: Resources and Guidance
Finding the right therapist in Alabama can be a daunting process, but with the right resources, you can locate a professional who meets your needs. Whether you are searching for in-person therapy or teletherapy, understanding what treatments are available and their effectiveness is crucial.
Mental Health Statistics in Alabama
Alabama has a significant need for mental health services, especially in rural areas where access to specialized care is limited. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), about 20% of adults in Alabama experience some form of mental illness each year. However, there is a shortage of mental health professionals, with only 14 psychiatrists per 100,000 residents. This makes teletherapy an essential option for those living in underserved areas.
Where to Look for a Therapist
To begin your search, consider the following options:
Local directories such as Psychology Today
Health insurance provider directories
Community mental health centers
Recommendations from physicians or trusted friends
Teletherapy and Experiential Therapies at Taproot Therapy Collective
Taproot Therapy Collective offers evidence-based experiential and somatic therapies through teletherapy. These therapies, including EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing, are proven to be effective in treating trauma, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. Unlike traditional CBT and medication-only approaches, Taproot Therapy provides holistic treatment tailored to individual needs.
Issues That Can Be Treated via Teletherapy
Teletherapy is an excellent option for many mental health concerns. Conditions that can often be effectively treated through teletherapy include:
Issues That May Require In-Person Treatment
While teletherapy is effective for many conditions, some issues require in-person treatment for optimal results. These include:
Severe cases of schizophrenia or psychosis
Intensive addiction treatment requiring medical detox
Severe eating disorders needing inpatient care
Challenges Facing Alabama’s Rural Communities
Many rural areas in Alabama lack adequate mental health services. Clinics in these regions often only provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and medication management due to funding constraints. Teletherapy bridges this gap by offering specialized treatment that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Mental Health Resources for Rural Areas in Alabama
For those living in rural Alabama, accessing mental health care can be challenging. However, several resources are available to help bridge the gap:
Southeastern Telehealth Resource Center – Supports telehealth programs in rural areas
