About ACA

---

Mrs. Sapp is the owner and operator of ACA Counseling. She has served children, adolescents, and teens in Central Alabama for over 15 years. Mrs. Sapp established ACA Counseling in 2016. ACA Counseling's mission is to improve the mental health of our community by educating families and advocating for our clients. "We will work together to produce systemic change. We will do this by equipping clients with the skills and confidence they need to be productive, healthy members of society." Mrs. Sapp is a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Supervising Counselor (LPC-S), and a National Board Certified Counselor (NBCC). She takes pride in assuring that ACA consists of a team of kind, skilled, competent, ethical, and supportive counselors. All of ACA's therapists are Nationally Board Certified. ACA Counseling has been in Hoover since 2021 and is excited to accelerate its expansion and continue its growth in the heart of Hoover. One unique aspect of ACA is its incorporation of animal-assisted therapy, where trained therapy animals—including a Labrador Retriever named Mama Bella, a Golden Doodle named Trusy Rusty, Jessie, and Sir Brenton Pierre, and two bunnies, Scarlet and Barley—help create a warm, calming environment and enhance the therapeutic process for children and adolescents. 

ACA Counseling prides itself on providing Birmingham with premier mental health services. Call 205-530-8743 today to schedule your appointment with one of our caring counselors.

Navigating childhood and adolescence is no easy task. Today’s children face a wide range of challenges—family dynamics, peer relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, perfectionism, and the many hurdles that come with living in today’s fast-paced world. They need a healthy emotional and psychological outlet as they grow and discover who they are. Most parents want their children to grow into confident, capable, and contributing members of society. Counseling offers a path to help guide and support both children and their parents through life’s challenges—building resilience, self-awareness, and hope for the future. At ACA Counseling, we also offer animal-assisted therapy, where trained therapy animals provide comfort, connection, and emotional support to enhance the healing process in a calm, welcoming environment.
