Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Wilson County, TN

Therapy is an experience that I have seen from both sides, as a client and clinician. This is why my approach comes from an empathic, relative point of view. My belief is that a client knows more about what they need better than anyone else. However, we all need guidance and assistance at times to help unlock our potential. I have learned that each client has their own set of core beliefs, maladaptive coping skills, and a significant barrier to obtaining the life we deserve. As a result, we can work to change these unhealthy behaviors one may use to numb and escape feelings that are destructive and harmful together.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space for my clients to be fully seen, known and heard. I am passionate about working with kids, teens, and women as they navigate issues such as body image concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, OCD, and self-worth. My personal journey with neurodivergence has led to a desire to help equip kids, teens, adults, and parents with the education and skills to understand and navigate ADHD and Autism whether that is diagnosed early on in childhood or later in life. My goal is to help clients to reclaim parts of themselves, develop resilience, and live authentically.

With over 27 yrs of experience, I have learned that healing and change is a process that is unique to each individual. In counseling, we will walk this journey together by identifying, exploring, and working through your experiences and challenges. Whether you experience depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, behavioral addictions, trauma, extreme stress, etc., we will explore ways to manage thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and sensations associated with your life circumstances. Collaboratively, we will develop and identify unique coping strategies to help increase the likelihood that you live the life that you want to live.

The typical client at CTG is an individual, couple or family who struggles with a variety of issues. These include but are not limited to: depression, anxiety, mood issues, chronic pain, personality challenges, addiction, sexual dysfunction, marital and relational distress, attachment disorders, trauma history, and more. Our clients find us through referral from another therapist, a past or present client who suggests they make an appointment with CTG, pastors, physicians, and other professionals.

Many of today's problems are a result of the complicated, fast-paced world in which we live; a world that threatens man's emotional stability. Clients come to counselors looking for hope. Many times they feel desperate, pursuing what seems like their last option. They are looking for someone who is kind and sensitive, but also for someone who knows how to diagnose their problems and help them improve their situation. If this is you, I am your resource. I will never provide my clients a solution that does not give the very best in me.

It’s taken me a long time to write this because I desperately wanted my bio to communicate my heart for counseling, people, and the work that I do, but I also feel that words fall short when you’re trying to communicate something so intimate. First of all, you are brave for taking a step toward deeper healing, and I am honored that you might consider me as a support alongside you in your journey. Whether this is your first time seeking counseling or your 10th time, I hope to encourage and help empower you in your fight to become who you want to be. Whatever next step you decide to take, I hope the best for you.

Hello - my name is Trey Manor. I help couples and individuals understand and express themselves and their experiences. Our culture doesn't really teach us how to verbalize what we want, need, or fear. Often times, we seek out ways to avoid or numb out those difficult, painful, confusing, or overwhelming emotions and memories. Many people run from them until they feel exhausted, trapped, and/or at the end of their rope. That is often when I meet many my clients. I get to help young adult and adult couples, individuals, military and first responders figure out and verbalize their inner turmoil.

Hello! My name is Sarah Rudy and I am so excited that you have decided to reach out to better your life.

I have 17 years of experience with individuals that struggle with multiple stressors and diagnosis. My personal passion is working with those that are codependent, depressed, anxious, having difficulty with relationships, and have a history of trauma. However, I am not limited only to these areas. My goal is to create lasting change for those who desire it.

What does it mean to be mentally and emotionally well? You likely know what being "unwell" in these areas looks like, but have you ever stopped to consider what "healthy" is; after all, that is the goal is it not? I would contend that Mental and Emotional Wellness can be summed up by two areas: 1. Gratitude and 2. A sense of personal Agency (meaning your have the ability to affect change in yourself and have control over the immediate future.) I absolutely love exploring these areas with my clients and helping them attain true Wellness in their Mental and Emotional Health.

Now Accepting New Clients! Every single one of us faces challenges in our individual "inside world".

I believe that everyone deserves a listening ear to tell their story to and have an advocate for when things get hard. I aim to offer a non-judgmental, safe environment for all who seek counseling.

I am able to provide services for individuals of all races and genders. I am dedicated to providing clients with a supportive environment where therapy sessions are collaborative, engaging and tailored to the individuals unique needs.

Changes in life are often expected, but sometimes it hits you unexpectedly and it hits hard. Since change is a normal part of life, that can make it hard to seek help when we're having difficulty in this area. We assume that everybody else is having an easier time adjusting than we are, or feel we just need to power through on our own without support but I don't think that could be further from the truth. All of us are only human & need the invaluable resource of help, support, & encouragement. Anxiety, depression, stress, racing thoughts, fear, poor self-esteem, and other issues often get in our way of living a meaningful life.

As a psychologist and nurse, I bring a unique understanding to therapy with a focus on both biological and psychological factors that impact mood and behavioral patterns.
