Beverly Ward, MA, EdS, LPC
Hi, I'm Beverly. I’m glad you’ve made your way to this page in your search for help and hope. I believe God has solutions for you, and you don’t have to walk this road alone.
Life’s problems—including mental health challenges—are real, common, and treatable. Recovery is possible.
I care deeply about providing the highest quality therapy to my clients. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy (PCT) to address a wide range of concerns. For those who desire it, I integrate biblical wisdom and Christian counseling with evidence-based approaches. Good therapy, coupled with God’s grace, can transform hard places and roadblocks into circumstances that can be faced, worked through, and moved beyond. Whatever you’re facing,
there is a way forward. You’re not the one person who has to stay stuck. There is hope for healing. Good therapy works.
As a seasoned therapist, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life facing many different struggles. I’ve seen therapy bring meaningful, transformative growth, and I’ve witnessed God restore hearts, minds, and relationships through His power and grace. In my own life, God has restored joy and purpose from pain. I would be honored to walk with you as you begin your own healing journey.
​
I currently serve as the Director of Still Waters Counseling & Education Center. I hold three degrees in the behavioral sciences from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB): a Bachelor’s in Psychology, a Master’s in Rehabilitation Counseling, and an Ed.S. in Counseling. I am also a doctoral student at Regent University, pursuing a Ph.D. in Counseling and Psychological Studies.
​
I work with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, relationship concerns, caregiving challenges, bipolar disorder, psychosis, personality disorders, and other life difficulties. Before founding Still Waters, I spent many years in school-based and community mental health settings providing counseling and psychological testing for children, teens, adults, and families.
​
I will always go the extra mile to keep learning and serving—because I know that good therapy changes lives. If you’re ready, I’d be honored to begin this work with you.
