Burned out, overwhelmed, or struggling with perfectionism—even though you appear high-functioning? I help driven, high-achieving adults manage anxiety, chronic stress, and burnout so they can feel more balanced, grounded, and connected to what matters.
Therapy with me is a place to slow down, quiet your inner critic, and step out of constant pressure and overthinking.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and have spent several years in acute and rehab hospital settings, as well as a therapy practice. I have experience with all age groups, individuals, couples, and families. I have learned each of us has our own unique story and sometimes there are challenges we do not expect, or we realize we want to take the next chapter in a different direction. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, clarity and confidence.

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, and I’m glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15+ years of experience supporting individuals in their mental health journey. My work focuses primarily on helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, and life stressors. I often work with individuals experiencing burnout, major life transitions, relationship stress, work-related stress, and patterns of overthinking that can make daily life feel overwhelming.

You may be successful, dependable, and the person everyone else turns to—yet relationships leave you questioning yourself. Maybe you overthink texts and conversations, worry about being “too much,” struggle to set boundaries, or find yourself giving more than you receive. You know you deserve healthier relationships, but breaking old patterns can feel harder than it should. Many of the women I work with struggle with anxious attachment, people-pleasing, self-doubt, and seeking validation from others. Therapy becomes a place to understand where these patterns came from and, more importantly, learn how to stop repeating them.

The goal of therapy isn't to "fix" you, it's to know you. To welcome every part of you - the parts you like, don't like, and want to change. To see you through a lens of curiosity, rather than judgement. And to focus on who you are, rather than who you are not.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from the life and relationships they want. They may be struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, life transitions, or difficulties setting healthy boundaries. Together, we identify the patterns that are keeping them stuck, build practical skills for navigating challenges, and create meaningful changes that support healthier relationships, greater confidence, and emotional well-being.

Let's not say "therapy," let's call it what it is - developing Emotional Intelligence. Emotional Intelligence is the key to a positive lifestyle. You are not born with Emotional Intelligence, nor does it come naturally. It is a skill that develops over time. Throughout our life, we are exposed to stress, adverse events and life-changing situations. These experiences add up, accumulate, get filed away in our minds; only to arise at the most inconvenient times, impacting our ability to function with everyday life. Having a strong Emotional Intelligence helps you manage and get your life back on track.

Hi, I’m Dr. Jermeckia Sandefer, LPC-MHSP, but you can call me Dr. J! I like to think of therapy as a reset button for your mind—a chance to pause, reflect, and untangle the thoughts that feel like they’re running a marathon with no finish line.

Did you recently get your child assessed for ADHD/Autism, and start to think "wait, all these things describe me, too?" Maybe you feel like those labels don't quite fit, but you've always felt "different?" I'm looking for adults (or older teens) who are just figuring out that they are neurodivergent, and would like some help navigating that (and all the change that comes with it). Together we can learn to understand your brain and how it works, to forgive yourself for not meeting every expectation of a neurotypical world, and to love (or at least accept) your unique self.

Are you a Black Indigenous or POC individual struggling with anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, or the pressure to be “perfect” or the “strong” friend or partner? Maybe therapy feels unfamiliar or uncomfortable because it was not encouraged in your family. I work with people navigating identity-related stress, trauma, neurodiversity, masking, and feeling disconnected from themselves or others. Together, we can explore what feels heavy, build tools for healing, and create a life that feels more balanced, authentic, and meaningful. Currently I am fully licensed in both Tennessee (LPC-MHSP) and Florida (LMHC)

Do you keep performing at a high level while feeling like something underneath is running on empty? You're driven, successful, and used to being the one who's "on," but anxiety, burnout, or self-doubt show up anyway, even when no one else can tell. Maybe you feel misunderstood despite everything you've achieved, or you just know there's more for you and you're ready to go after it. I work with high performers, athletes, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want to thrive in their careers and feel balanced, fulfilled, and connected in their personal lives, the person behind the performance.

My goal is to assist you in therapy to help discover your true self, and lead you to a life worth celebrating. While no one can change difficult situations or experiences of the past, you and I can work together to better understand and resolve the challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapeutic approaches and techniques, I will help you change long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
