LICSW
Accepting Clients

Hi! My name is Ernest Murphy, call me Murf and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW).

Clinical Social Worker in EVERGREEN, AL

About My Clients

I believe that men often need a man to talk to, to work through their problems with, that can relate to many of the same struggles they're dealing with. If you're struggling with work or family stress, confidence issues, or even trauma, let's get together and talk about it.

My Background and Approach

After a career in the Marines as an infantryman, I found my calling in the field of counseling! My undergraduate degree is in Social Work with a Minor in Psychology, and I have a Master's degree in Social Work. I have an integrative approach to counseling, taking all aspects of the client into consideration because everyone is unique. I feel personally drawn to Systems Theory, Person Centered Theory, and strengths based approaches. Having personally dealt with traumas of war, I am very passionate about providing counseling services to high risk groups such as Veterans and first responders.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. Probably the main reason we develop mental health issues is because of unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means you can unlearn those faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. After multiple combat deployments, I suffered from severe anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and anger issues. Through therapy, I learned how to manage those symptoms and move past it so they no longer had control over me. I want you to feel the same freedom that I experience every day now. If you want to learn more about how I can help, shoot me a message.
