Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Edgehill, Nashville, TN

Hi there! I am a counselor who works with clients ages 13+ and am skilled in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, body image, self-esteem, anger management, and transition issues. I also have specialized training and experience working with older adults with dementia and other cognitive and age-related changes. Additionally, I see teenagers and adults of all ages who identify as LGBTQIA+ and am well-versed in helping clients who are questioning their identities, beginning the coming-out process, and/or transitioning. I am included as a recommended specialist for transgender mental health in the local OUTMemphis Resource Guide.

I believe that you have the ability to achieve fulfilling life goals and to make healthy life choices for yourself. As a mental health therapist, my job is to be the tool to assist you in the decision-making process and to achieve those goals. I have worked across all levels of care - from outpatient therapy services all the way up to psychiatric hospitals - while treating a variety of issues for teens and adults.

Whether you have an undiagnosed/diagnosed condition, need support during a transition period, or are on the journey to self-actualization, I encourage you to reach out for therapy. With your help, I would like to assess and understand your circumstances to create an action plan. I promote positive change by teaching mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance skills. In addition, I offer psychoeducation and recommendations for your care when appropriate.

Do you feel as though you are lacking the skills to live your full life worth living? Having difficulty finding balance in life? Whether you are new to therapy or have been seeing a therapist for years, we can all use some assistance at various points in our lives. I am an LCSW who has experience in many areas including trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and relationship issues.

Life transitions, even the exciting ones, can present challenges we don't anticipate. If you're facing life changes, relationship challenges, or personal growth decisions l'm here to help you navigate this time. I particularly love working with Moms (prenatal & postpartum, those with young kids, and growing families), college students, and adults trying to find their place in the world. I use a holistic and client-centered approach & believe the therapeutic relationship is key to making progress. It's this fit between client & therapist that allows you to 'tell it like it is' and for me to provide the space for you to be real.

I work with many people who have struggled to feel confident, safe, or at ease in themselves, are unhappy with how they connect with others, or how they are living their life. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and identity issues. These areas are tied to the core of who you are and how you interact in the world. At times, it may be difficult to move forward and you may feel stuck. You may feel disconnected, unfulfilled, or overwhelmed. It may affect relationships, work, and your sense of self. It can be difficult to find your way back to yourself and the life you want to build. I am here to help navigate that journey.

Imagine having healthier relationships, balanced emotions, and better boundaries. You might be dealing with problems in your relationships with your spouse, family, or friends. You are a “people pleaser” who can't say no and often puts yourself on the backburner. You may say “I don’t deal well with emotions” or feel like your emotions get the best of you. After a recent life change or relationship issue, such as a difficult marriage, motherhood, or divorce, you may feel like you don’t know who you are any more. Let's find YOU again. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationships, I am here to help.

Do you find yourself struggling with life's stressors- relationships, life transitions, work, family? Therapy with a genuine, highly empathic therapist can help. Together, we can explore the issues you face to better understand them and work through to resolution in a non-judgmental manner. I am excited to join you along your journey of self-healing and discovery.

Asking for help is sometimes difficult, and also powerful. Daily struggles with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts can become overwhelming. Complex trauma, substance use, eating disorders, unhealthy relationships, are among a few that can also keep us from our authentic self. In order to survive through all of this and keep going, it is common to adapt in ways that end up no longer working. We need help. That help comes from recognizing the gifts we have in ourselves and getting the gifts of others. My gift is to help others with aligning the head and the heart while healing to recognize authentic self.

ATTN Music Biz! Feeling overwhelmed by leadership or job stress? Balancing work and life a challenge? Yearning for connections, battling self-doubt? I'm Lucy, a former music industry exec turned therapist, and my journey is a bit more rock 'n' roll than your average counselor's. I left my executive job in 2022 after completing graduate studies and clinical training in psychology, authentic leadership, and behavior change. Now, I'm passionate about guiding my clients through career breakthroughs, relationship improvement, and LASTING change through my work in my private practice on Music Row and throughout Tennessee via Zoom.

Something's been brewing for a while now, but there's always been more pressing *stuff* that needs your attention and plenty of distractions to keep you occupied. But lately those obligations and distractions aren't enough and you're stuck with those thoughts that won't go away, and that nagging feeling in your stomach that can no longer be ignored. You like to feel in control and capable--able to handle things on your own, but these are uncharted waters and there's no map in sight. What's more is that things that may never have been issues before are all of a sudden becoming problems you didn't know you had.

I have been practicing in the Nashville area for over 15 years. In addition to completing specialized training as a mediator, I also utilize NVC to bring skillful communication techniques into my practice, have Level II EMDR training for trauma, and have experience in assisting people in difficult relationships, addiction, and life transition. I believe each person is unique, has their own set of strengths, needs and values; I believe therapy is a collaborative effort between client and therapist.

I wonder if you are feeling like life has been particularly difficult lately? This is especially difficult when we are feeling excessive stress, a sense of overwhelm, anxious, depressed, lonely and isolated.

As a trauma therapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals heal from past experiences that have caused emotional pain and distress. With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I provide a safe space for clients to explore their feelings and develop coping strategies to manage symptoms of trauma. I have extensive training and experience in evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. My goal is to empower clients to reclaim their lives and move forward with confidence and resilience.

Hi, I'm Emily. Something brought you to this website in search of a therapist or counselor. Maybe it was a single event or problem, like a loss of a loved one or a sudden change in job status Or maybe you've been struggling with a multitude of stressors and are feeling burned out, anxious, depressed, disconnected, and fatigued. What would your life be like if you no longer experienced these issues? How do you get to that point? These questions are the foundation of my therapeutic approach, which is goal-oriented, solution-focused, and personalized to you as an individual. Your goals are unique to you, so it takes a unique approach.

Are you feeling stuck in patterns that prevent you from thriving and succeeding in ways that deep down you know you can? Perhaps your relationships are suffering, or intimacy feels hard or scary. Whether it's anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress, relationship problems, self-harm, addictions, or something else, my guess is these patterns emerged from a need to cope or survive. As a queer person, I know how hard finding an affirming and non-judgmental therapist can be, especially if you are LGBTQ+. A therapist who meets you exactly where you are right now can be the first step to building the life you want!

Are you feeling stressed out, zoned out, or off-balance? Do you feel like you're drowning under the weight of responsibilities, while others seem to be thriving? Have you been using social media, toxic relationships, or substances to numb or distract yourself from the discomfort? I'd love to try and help you find your footing and feel more like yourself again. Most of the clients I work with have a lot more in common than they realize. They are struggling...but they believe they SHOULD be able to manage everything! They believe they are somehow flawed or weaker than others. I want you to know it’s okay to be struggling.
