May peace like a river run wild over your soul, reminding you in chaos: you are living, you are whole.

There are a number of things that can create feelings of hopelessness or overwhelm; anxiety and stress. Changes and transition in our lives may inspire a desire for further insight and understanding of what we find important as well as how we might like to grow. Flourish Wellness offers individualized counseling services with the goal of supporting you in finding relief from suffering and walking with you on the path of self-discovery, enlightenment and compassion.
About Flourish Wellness
Welcome to Flourish! My name is Taylor Gibson and I’m the creator of Flourish Wellness Counseling. I’ve always loved connecting with others around shared experiences as well as learning from those I’ve yet to experience. It’s incredibly humbling and inspiring to meet someone as, and where, they are. In becoming a therapist, I knew I could provide others a space to feel met, connected and understood.
I practice mental health counseling in Birmingham, Alabama and completed my training with the University of Montevallo in 2020. I began at UM in 2012, earning my B.S. in Sociology in 2016, continuing my education and obtaining a M.Ed. in Couples and Family Counseling thereafter. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC), working with individuals struggling with substance dependence, eating disorders and other co-occurring mental health concerns. I use a person-centered, compassion-focused approach in my practice - promoting connection, healing and a person’s capacity for living wholly.
Specialties
I believe that all are inherently worthy and deserving of access to resources and opportunities for healing regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ability, or nationality. Through Flourish Wellness, I provide individual therapy to adult residents of Alabama at the outpatient level of care using a person-centered, compassion-focused approach incorporating cognitive-behavioral, existential, and acceptance and commitment therapy techniques depending on your individual needs and goals.
Flourish Wellness Counseling may support you in addressing concerns and challenges associated with depression and anxiety, grief and loss, identity and value exploration, substance use, eating disorders, relationships, self-esteem, trauma, stress, and life transitions.
