At Empower Counseling we specialize in helping you overcome these obstacles (and more!) and achieve a more satisfying and fulfilling life, through Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). We join you where you are right now-whether you are suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, going through a difficult transition in life in life or simply not moving forward in life like you want to.
Try Empower for Counseling in Birmingham when talk is not enough.
At Empower we do not think it is enough to simply guide you to a place where you are no longer suffering. We aim higher. We use a scientifically proven method of therapy – Acceptance Commitment Therapy – to take you all the way to thriving.
Thriving is a place where you can expect:
- Higher self-esteem and self-confidence
- You are proud of who you are
- You are focused on what you want in life, instead of what you are afraid of
- You have courage to take action
- You are at peace, content, and fulfilled with your life
It is our mission to guide you down the path toward your best life, and to provide you with the knowledge, strategies, and tools necessary to get there.
Therapy in Birmingham with Empower Counseling works.
Here is how you get to this better place.
We have made it simple for you to begin healing and start down the path to your best life, igniting your courage, and inspiring action.
1. Discover Hope
In your very first session at Empower Counseling we will take you through an assessment of what your life looks like right now and uncover what you would like to change. If you are not sure what you want to change or what your life could look like, that’s OK. You don’t have to know yet. We will guide you toward knowing.
2. Strategies and Tools
Our ultimate goal is to help you not only visualize the life you desire but also take tangible steps toward achieving it. Through our ACT-based counseling approach, you will gain the tools and strategies necessary to create lasting change in your life. You will develop a clear vision of your goals and learn how to overcome obstacles, manage stress, and navigate relationships effectively.
3. Courage to Take Action
Through focus on your values, decision making will become easier. We will help you ignite your courage so that you may take action instead of letting your fear stop you. Through action toward your values, your self-esteem and self-confidence will increase. Our goal is to take you from helpless, hopeless, or stuck to empowered, courageous, and effective.
We will meet you exactly where you are and show you the way to a place that is better than you once thought possible.

If you struggle with anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck, you may think that no one else understands how you feel.
We do.
I’m Kathryn Ely, founder of Empower Counseling. I struggled with anxiety and perfectionism for most of my life. I found Acceptance Commitment Therapy while obtaining my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health. Acceptance Commitment Therapy was like no other therapy we learned about in school. It saved me from a life of being in my head, afraid to take action, and unable to focus on all of the wonderful parts of my life. The transformation I experienced was so amazing that it became my mission and my purpose to bring this effective form of therapy to you so that you may experience freedom from what has been holding you back, and a clear vision of how wonderful life can be.
