Our Team
Jennifer Starling, LMFT-S
Owner/Marriage & Family TherapistBorn and raised right here in Mobile, Alabama, I have dedicated both my personal life and professional career to building deep roots and cultivating meaningful, lifelong relationships within our community. Guided by this passion and a desire to see our local families thrive, I founded Horizon Point Therapy Group to offer a true sanctuary—a dedicated space where individuals, couples, and families can find a renewed sense of hope, direction, and lasting healing.
Before transitioning into the therapeutic field, I spent over 25 years working in Marketing and Development for high-profile organizations like the NBA, as well as various healthcare systems. This extensive corporate background deeply shapes the vision and operation of Horizon Point today. Managing fast-paced environments, navigating complex organizational dynamics, and understanding human motivation at a large scale allowed me to hone a strategic, macro-level perspective. It taught me how systems function under pressure—insight that translates directly into how I view family structures and relational patterns. This experience also drives my commitment to organizational excellence, ensuring our practice runs with the highest level of professionalism, clear communication, and structured support for our clients.
My therapeutic approach is deeply collaborative, warm, and solution-focused, specifically designed to empower you to overcome obstacles, reach your goals, and live the life you genuinely envision. By embracing a systemic perspective, I strive to look beyond surface-level symptoms and see the bigger picture—identifying the underlying patterns, relational dynamics, and root causes of challenges—so that together, we can uncover practical, effective, and enduring solutions.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Alabama, I am incredibly passionate about walking alongside children, adolescents, couples, and families during life's most complex transitions. My ultimate goal with every client who walks through our doors is to create a safe, honoring, and deeply supportive environment that respects and balances the needs of the whole person—mind, body, soul, and spirit.
I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Graduate Certificate in Systemic Couple and Family Therapy, which laid the foundation for the evidence-based care I provide today. I am also an active professional member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) and stand committed to maintaining the highest clinical standards for our growing practice.
I am proud to call Fairhope, Alabama, home, where I live with my husband, Dwayne, and our son, Dean. My ongoing commitment to our coastal communities in both Fairhope and Gulf Shores is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that supports you, strengthens your relationships, and helps your entire family achieve a legacy of lasting growth and meaningful connection.
Taylor Wright, LCSW, MSW
Inspired by the profound joy and purpose that comes from serving others, I’ve dedicated my life to helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. Guided by this passion, I joined Horizon Point Therapy Group to provide an authentic and supportive space where clients can experience true relief and meaningful growth.
My therapeutic approach is authentic, personable, and intentional, designed to help you build an achievable plan to reach your unique goals. By focusing on the whole person within their environment, I strive to see the complete picture—collaborating closely with you to develop practical tools and strategies that bring positive changes into your day-to-day life.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am deeply passionate about working with adolescents, young adults, and student-athletes facing anxiety, depression, and trauma. My ultimate goal is to foster a genuine, trusting relationship where you feel entirely supported as you work to overcome obstacles and live the life you want to live.
I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) and completed specialized training as an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist. My approach is further shaped by my background as a former collegiate student-athlete at Florida State University and East Tennessee State University, where I directly experienced the transformative power of evidence-based care.
I recently moved to Baldwin County after getting married to my husband, Andy. My ongoing commitment is to bring my passion for youth and athlete mental wellness to our Fairhope and Gulf Shores communities, offering both in-person and telehealth sessions to help you find balance, resilience, and lasting healing.
