Tobea Cook

From the heart of rural Alabama emerges a passionate advocate for accessible mental health care. Tobea Cook, MS, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has made it her mission to break down barriers to therapy, offering both virtual and traditional counseling services to meet clients where they are.

Understanding the challenges of limited resources in small towns, Tobea has embraced telehealth as a powerful tool to reach those who might otherwise suffer in silence. Her practice is built on the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of their location or circumstances. This commitment to accessibility is complemented by her flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, to accommodate the busy lives of her clients.

Tobea's approach to therapy is as unique as the individuals she serves. Drawing from an eclectic toolkit of evidence-based techniques, she tailors her methods to each client's specific needs. Her areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and helping individuals navigate life transitions. As a mother of two, Tobea brings a personal understanding of the delicate balance between life's responsibilities and self-care, infusing her practice with empathy and practical insights.

With a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Alabama A&M University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Alabama State University, Tobea's educational background forms a solid foundation for her professional practice. She is licensed as a Professional Counselor in both Alabama and Georgia, and is also a licensed telehealth provider in Florida, expanding her reach to help more individuals across state lines.

Tobea's commitment to mental health extends beyond her counseling sessions. She has authored the "Heal Yourself Journal," a guided therapeutic tool designed to increase self-awareness and emotional healing. Additionally, she offers professional development trainings and workshops on topics such as work-life balance and parenting skills, sharing her expertise with a broader audience.

At the core of Tobea Cook's practice is a deep-seated belief in the power of professional support during life's toughest moments. Whether through virtual sessions that bridge geographical gaps or face-to-face meetings that provide a personal touch, she stands ready to help clients develop healthy coping skills and improve their overall mental health. With Tobea, clients find not just a counselor, but a dedicated ally in their journey towards inner healing and personal growth.
