Divorce Therapists in Nashville, TN

I am passionate about working with teens and adolescents as they navigate the stressors that come with growing up. This could present in a multitude of ways consisting of emotional regulation, exploring sexuality/identity, navigating transitions in school, conflicts with family and peers, high acuity depression or self-harm, or living through parents divorce/separation. Additionally, young adults exhibiting symptoms of PTSD and complex trauma who are ready to process and return to their life before the trauma are another sweet spot of mine.

Address personal or partner difficulties in communication. Any sexuality issues? Trouble with awareness, focusing, sleeping? Interference from depression or anxiety? Where is it you, where the other? Want to relate more fully with your and their whole self--or to leave? Possible lifestyle or sexual orientation questions? Reimagine yourself after divorce, an affair or lost love. Consider a midcourse correction what you want from your life now, & rethink your current values & strengths. What to change? Which of your existing strengths to fine-tune now? What you share stays confidential, respected and nurtured.

**I am currently accepting new clients for in-person or virtual therapy, as well as Saturday appointments to accommodate your schedule. Please call to discuss your goals for therapy. I enjoy working with individuals and couples to improve their relationship challenges. If you are struggling with your marriage, blending a step-family, infidelity, a divorce or any other family issue, I can help. Let's work together to develop a plan that will improve all areas of your life and your relationships. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Are you struggling to communicate with your co-parent? I have been helping divorced & remarried parents with "co-parenting" since 2003. My passion is for kids to have a whole and healthy life by empowering and helping divided parents raise them between mom's house and dad's house. This is a complex journey and one that I personally walk every day. I wrote a book, "Co-parenting Works! Helping Your Children Thrive After Divorce" (HarperCollins 2011) and it has been making an important difference with families all around the country. I believe the power of even one stable parent can make a difference for the children! There is HOPE!

My specialty areas include trauma and PTSD (rape, child abuse, domestic violence, neglect, emotional abuse, car accidents and other accidents, combat exposure, and other violent crimes); relationship issues (couples therapy, recovering from affairs, LGBT couples, family conflict); sexuality (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and questioning concerns, sexual performance, diverse sexual expression); gender (women's issues, men's issues, transgender issues); identity exploration (college students, multicultural populations, career changes); mood disorders (depression and anxiety); along with other areas of concern.

I help women move forward and rebuild after divorce or difficult breakup, couples find clarity in their relationship, and families dealing with the aftermath of divorce. My passion is supporting clients as they navigate life’s toughest moments, as these life transitions can have you feeling all the things – overwhelmed, scared, sad, angry, and frustrated. Accepting and adjusting to these changes can be hard to handle on your own, so that's where I come in. I support you as you figure out next steps, manage relational conflict or make a life-changing decision. The goal is to empower you to make decisions that will honor you.

Are you struggling with a life transition, perhaps facing a divorce or separation? If you have children, you may be wondering if they are going to be OK, especially if you do not feel like you are OK. Children are impacted emotionally by the same events that impact adults, but they process them differently. I have worked with a variety of clients- ranging from very young children to adults and couples. I have extensive training and experience in trauma - both childhood trauma and adult trauma. I am a certified Trauma therapist (CTT) and am certified in EMDR therapy.

There are times in life when we simply feel "stuck". Despite how bleak things may seem, there is always reason to hope for change. As a strengths-based therapist, I assume my clients are caring and capable. My purposeful questions and Brainspotting techniques help clients connect with their best selves, allowing them to unlock solutions to the challenges they face. I work with adults, couples and teens around such challenges as: psychological barriers to healthy lifestyles, relationship difficulties, infidelity & divorce, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, impulsive behavior, binge eating, weight loss, and chronic pain.

Has your life been turned upside down by betrayal and divorce after a long-term marriage? Regardless of the type of betrayal (infidelity, porn, addiction, financial, sex workers, or emotional/verbal abuse), having your life torn apart by your partner's deceit and abuse is devastating. If you are reeling from being blindsided by a betrayal, are wondering "Who am I now?" or how to recover from betrayal and divorce, I'm here to guide you through the healing process. You can find your Self, survive divorce grief and recreate your life after your heart has been shattered by betrayal.

I help stressed out, overwhelmed, worried counselors and other helping professionals. I know that as a great therapist you are passionate about your work, but at times, you might fail to take care of yourself; over time the client stories you hear may begin to impact your personal well being. While you are helping others, divorce, death and other disturbing things can happen to you, and you may have become disengaged and detached from your life, your family, and your clients. Who helps the helper?

I have over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, families and young adults. Divorce, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety and adjustment to change are just a few of the issues that can make an already tough time much more complicated. I use a psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approach to help my clients navigate these challenges and live a healthier, more authentic life. Together, we will work to develop insight and create a safe place for self discovery.

It is my belief that many of our current problems come from our earliest relationships, and that these relationships have an enduring impact on our present lives. I work with men and women who are struggling with depression and anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-worth or not-being-good-enough, anger, divorce adjustment, and fear of losing control. I am also active in helping parents learn to be more connected and calm with their children, creating healthy relationships that will impact their children throughout their lives.

Taking care of yourself, your relationships, and your soul are some the most important things you can do. However, sometimes stress can pile up, relationships get strained, or unexpected losses leave an empty place in life. Sometimes even church can hurt. When these things happen it can get overwhelming resulting in many more questions than answers. It is a privilege for me to walk with people who are experiencing challenges and help them heal from wounds, solve problems and glean some redemptive meaning from the challenges they face.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been in practice for fifteen years. I believe that people have the capacity to change and make improvements in their lives. And, I see myself as a partner in the change process. I am someone that you can trust who will listen with compassion-free from judgment. I am easy to talk to and I will share with you my thoughts, ideas and strategies to assist you as you move towards change. I am compassionate and will treat you with respect and understanding.

I help people with anxiety (worry or panic), depression, grief, trauma, and trouble with eating patterns or body image. I help people who find themselves in a different world due to divorce, estrangement, coming out, or relocation. I also help those visited by the ongoing impact of another's addiction or of caring for a loved one who is sick. Whether in the midst of turbulence or motivated to reclaim your strength, you're in the right place to benefit from therapy.

By curiously hearing and understanding your life story through our professional relationship, I hope to unburden you of your pain and help you remove road blocks which might be keeping you from experiencing greater pleasure. I work with adults ranging in age from 18 through post retirement years and specialize in treating life transitions, relationship concerns, depression, anxiety, trauma, infertility, adoption, postpartum depression, grief, loss, and divorce. I'm sensitive to issues of diversity and inclusion, am interested in working with people from various cultural backgrounds, and am a LGBTQ ally.

As your therapist, I will provide a tender and nurturing environment to process persistent worry, depression and general life stress. Fear, anxiety and depression can disrupt the quality of your daily life and seeking professional guidance and support can allow you to move through these stressors and develop both effective coping skills and healthy emotional habits. Life stress doesn't have to be debilitating and long term change is absolutely achievable. I work with individuals, children and families.

As a professional counselor, my goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where a person can acknowledge their current limitations and begin to move forward in positive strides.
