Accepting New Clients for Telehealth Therapy in Alabama
Seasons Therapy Center was created for people who want therapy that feels human, grounded, and connected to the realities of everyday life. Care with us is not about forcing you to become a more acceptable version of yourself. It's about making space for your story, your body, your relationships, your culture, your grief, your survival, and your joy.
We support individuals, teens, parents, couples, and families across Alabama through telehealth therapy that is practical, affirming, and responsive to the full context of your life.
Our mission is to reduce barriers to compassionate, whole-person mental health care for individuals, families, and communities, especially those in underserved and rural areas.
We provide therapy, supportive services, resource connection, and community-centered care that honor each person’s story, body, culture, relationships, environment, and lived experience.
Our vision is a future where mental health care is free from shame and rooted in humanity, inclusion, connection, and real life.
We want to help build pathways to care that are not limited by access, location, stigma, or systemic barriers, especially for individuals, families, and communities in underserved and rural areas.
We believe healing is strengthened when therapy is connected to community care, mutual aid, resource navigation, supportive relationships, and opportunities that help people meet basic needs, build stability, and experience dignity.

Hello, I’m Chania Mitchell, M.S., an Associate Licensed Counselor and founder of Seasons Therapy Center.
I believe that people don't need to be “fixed". Honestly, most of us are not broken. We're carrying pain, patterns, responsibilities, grief, survival skills, and stories that make a lot more sense when we look at the full picture.
My goal is to offer a space where you can slow down, build practical tools, understand yourself with more compassion, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been pushed aside. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry, and sometimes we sit with what has been too heavy to carry alone.
This is your space to release, breathe, be honest, and move toward the version of yourself you are becoming. You don't have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or have it all figured out before you begin. We can start right where you are.
Outside of therapy, I value the small, grounding things that help people come back to themselves: good food, infectious laughter with friends and family, community fish fry's, making meaningful memories, curling up with a good book and the kind of rest that doesn't ask you to earn it first.
I also enjoy anime for the way it explores identity, resilience, grief, belonging, power, and the complexity of emotions. Those themes may look dramatic on screen, but they show up in real life every day.
Healing doesn't only happen in hard moments. It also happens in the spaces where you feel most like yourself.
My approach to therapy is shaped by clinical training, lived experience, community care, and a deep respect for the full picture of a person’s life.
As a Black woman and a mother, I’m mindful of how culture, access, family systems, oppression, responsibility, survival, and lived experience shape mental health. That awareness isn't separate from my work. It is part of it.
I believe therapy should honor the whole person, not just symptoms. That means we pay attention to what you are feeling, what you have survived, what your body and nervous system have learned to protect you from, and what your life is asking of you right now.
I often support clients in understanding patterns, regulating emotions, strengthening communication, processing grief and trauma, building self-trust, navigating identity shifts, and creating new ways of responding that feel more aligned with who they are becoming.
I also believe healing can include joy, rest, creativity, pleasure, community, boundaries, mutual support, and reconnection. Therapy doesn't have to feel cold, clinical, or disconnected from real life.
If you are here, something in your life is asking for attention. And whatever that is, we can make space for it together.
Compassion: You deserve to be met with care, not shame, judgment, or pressure to explain your pain perfectly.
Context: Your mental health is shaped by your body, relationships, culture, history, environment, and access to support.
Practical Support: Therapy should help you understand yourself, build tools, and connect with resources that make daily life more manageable.
Affirming Care: Seasons Therapy Center welcomes clients across all identities, backgrounds, family structures, and lived experiences.
Growth at Your Own Pace: Change doesn’t happen all at once or on anyone else's timeline. We support you in building something real and sustainable, at your own pace.
Accessibility: Mental health support should not feel out of reach. We offer options that make care more realistic for everyday life.
Community: We are committed to serving individuals and families in Brewton, Atmore, and across rural Alabama with care that feels grounded, honest, and connected.
Since 2015, I have worked across community mental health, behavioral health organizations, university settings, residential therapeutic communities, correctional and forensic environments, and psychedelic studies related training spaces. These experiences shaped my commitment to accessible, culturally responsive, trauma-informed care.

Seasons Therapy Center was built on a simple truth: life changes, and people need support through those changes.
Just as seasons shift, so do our needs, identities, relationships, bodies, grief, responsibilities, and hopes. Therapy becomes a place to notice those shifts, find steadiness in uncertainty, and make room for who you are becoming.
At Seasons Therapy Center, we focus on undoing aloneness because what people carry is not just heavy. It can be isolating. We create a space where you do not have to filter, minimize, or reshape your experiences just to be understood.
