Hi, I’m Lorin Puebla, MS, ALC, NCC, an Associate Licensed Counselor under the supervision of Anna Barksdale, MSCP, LPC-S. I provide trauma-informed, neuroscience-based therapy for adults, teens, and families in Bay Minette and Baldwin County, Alabama. My work focuses on anxiety, intrusive thoughts, emotional dysregulation, and trauma, particularly when symptoms feel long-standing or unresolved with traditional talk therapy.

I founded The Counseling Haven to offer therapy that is structured, intentional, and grounded in nervous system science. Using evidence-based approaches, including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), I help clients build emotional regulation and engage in focused trauma processing at a carefully paced and appropriate depth. This approach allows for meaningful change without overwhelming or retraumatizing clients.

Unresolved trauma and chronic stress often affect not only individuals but entire families. Intense emotions, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts can disrupt daily functioning, relationships, and a sense of stability. These patterns are not personal failures; they are often automatic nervous system responses that require a targeted, trauma-informed approach to shift.

As regulation improves and the nervous system settles, clients often experience increased emotional stability, reduced reactivity, and greater clarity. These changes can positively impact relationships, parenting, and overall well-being.

My goal is to help clients move toward lasting nervous system regulation and emotional stability through trauma-informed, carefully paced therapy, fostering not only individual healing, but healthier families and future relationships as well.
