Jason Peevy, M.A., LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor.
Jason Peevy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who received his M.A. from the Counseling Education program at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, where he was awarded with Outstanding Agency/Community Student in his final year there. He achieved the hours required for licensure under the supervision of Adam Calvert (Ed.S, LPC-S, CSAT-S). Jason also received a J.D. from the University of Alabama School of Law and a B.A. in English from Auburn University.
Jason has been a licensed and practicing counselor for 15 years and is in his seventh year at Wellspring Christian Clinic. His practice includes individual, couples/martial, and family therapy and his years of experience in counseling includes a wide range of issues – anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, vocational transition, and struggles in family dynamics. He has extensive experience with marital and couples counseling and encourages each individual in the relationship to understand their own story and need for healing as a means to better communication and greater intimacy. He also has years of experience working with adolescents and this work includes time spent with parents communicating, listening, and helping them better understand their child's struggle during therapy.
Jason believes individuals are uniquely created to fill many different roles in their lives and that struggles often occur with the beginning of new roles (such as becoming a parent), the end of old roles (such as leaving a particular vocation) and the shift within roles (such as a child becoming his parent's caretaker). He also believes one of the keys to helping individuals in their struggles is helping them become more aware of the effect, often undetected, such transition can have. Jason approaches counseling with Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) techniques to give clients a better understanding of both the importance of life's roles and how the adjustment of unhealthy perceptions and thoughts triggered by life's events can lead to better mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Most importantly, Jason's faith as a Christian is the foundation of his practice, both in his belief that we were uniquely created for certain roles (Ephesians 2:10) and that the renewal of the mind leads us to His wisdom and peace (Romans 12:2).
Jason has been married to his wife Melinda for eighteen years. They are the parents of two teenage sons, Luke and Andrew, and the four of them are a “basketball family” with Luke and Andrew playing, Jason coaching, and Melinda cheering and…doing her own counseling after losses. The Peevys attend Covenant Presbyterian here in Birmingham, where Jason is an Elder, Melinda serves on committees, and the boys are active in their youth group.
