It all started when…

Jessica and Erica met each other while working at a local non profit serving victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse. During their time together, they both shared an interest in client’s who have experienced trauma along with the desire to gain more knowledge on modalities that would increase their ability to serve these individuals. Jessica and Erica opened the doors of Iron City Counseling on January 1, 2019. Together, they have built a Vision and a Mission for their practice. 

Our Vision:

Iron City Counseling provides services that exist to assist individuals in the community of Birmingham, AL to live their most authentic, healthy, and whole lives through the three pillars that create our Mission Statement: Authenticity, Compassion, and Transparency.

Our Mission:

Iron City Counseling seeks to offer Authenticity, Compassion, and Transparency through the services we provide.

Our Values:

Authenticity:

We believe in providing genuine services by being true to ourselves and to you. By being authentic to who we are as individuals and as a company we can provide services that are true to you. 

Compassion:

We value every person that walks through our doors.  We are very honored that people provide us the opportunity to hear their stories and to be a part of their lives.  We strive to make you feel safe and cared for.  We do this by really trying to understand you and help you feel heard.

Transparency:

We don't want finances to be a deterrent to seeking the help you need.  We do the upfront work of verifying benefits before your initial appointment so that you know exactly what to expect.  There is nothing worse than getting a surprise medical bill in the mail 3 months after your last visit.  We develop monthly payment plans which are discussed on the front end so that you can afford the services you deserve.  Our transparency helps us not be another burden to you because we know how difficult it can be to decide it’s time to ask for help. 

Our Commitment:

We are committed to providing our clients with a safe space to come to and work through their healing journey.
