Our Team
Tony Gunn
Each client has unique needs that are important to understand. My work includes supporting, advocating, and providing psychoeducation that includes recognizing a person’s race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender. I specialize in helping people work with their gender dysphoria, sexual identity, and sexual orientation in a supportive and affirming space. From social transitioning to gender-affirming surgery, your goals will be honored without pathologizing your gender. My methodology consist of cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, motivational interviewing incorporating strength based person-centered approach.
I have been able to obtain board certification as a transgender care therapist, qualified substance abuse professional (SAP)/ DOT, and trained in Structured Analysis Family Evaluation (SAFE) processing and creating home studies for adoption purposes. My experiences range from child care welfare, direct services, substance abuse disorder.
I work and continue to work with people with mental diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, gender dysphoria, and substance use disorders. In addition, I continue to work with people that desire to be heard in their day-to-day barriers. Services are offered in Alabama (Untraditional Hours Available).

I believe the biggest part of my job is to provide a safe space for you to share about yourself and what you’re experiencing. I provide psychotherapy without regard to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity while making you feel heard and understood. From there we can work on ways for you to improve your coping in whatever it is you’re going through.
While my approach is eclectic, my specialties include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and using supportive person-centered techniques. My experience ranges from direct services and program management to grant writing and teaching graduate Social Work students.
I have worked with people who have major mental illnesses, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, gender dysphoria, and Dissociative Identity Disorder, as well as those who just need a boost to get past feeling overwhelmed by the stresses of life.
