Hi, I’m Lorin Puebla, MS, ALC, NCC, an Associate Licensed Counselor under the supervision of Anna Barksdale, MSCP, LPC-S. I help women, moms, children, teens, and adults in Bay Minette heal from trauma, regulate emotions, and finally experience the peace they’ve been trying to find for years.

I created The Counseling Haven with one purpose:
to provide trauma-informed emotional healing that works quickly, deeply, and compassionately.

I’ve seen how unresolved stress, trauma, and emotional overwhelm ripple through families.
When a child struggles with anger, big emotions, or defiance, the whole home feels the tension.
When a mom is burnt out, anxious, or overloaded, everything in the home becomes heavier.
And when an adult is battling intrusive thoughts or an overactive mind, simply getting through the day can feel like a private war.

But I’ve also witnessed something equally powerful:
when even one person becomes more regulated, grounded, and emotionally steady, everything begins to shift.
Homes become calmer.
Relationships soften.
Children flourish.
Cycles begin to break.

Healing never happens in isolation; its impact naturally spreads through the people you love and the spaces you live in.

That’s why my mission is simple:
to help you heal in ways that strengthen not only your own emotional health, but the emotional health of your family and future as well.
