Emotionally Focused Therapists in College Grove, TN

Thank you for taking a moment to visit my page! I am passionate about working with clients to create collaborative and therapeutic relationships. I am honored to meet individuals and couples with compassion in a space that cultivates hope and restoration.

I believe that walking alongside hurting individuals, couples, and families is a crucial element on the path to healing. Brokenness, chaos, shattered relationships, and loss are often concealed gifts of transformation. People who have experienced trauma resulting in attachment struggles, addictions, anxiety, codependency and relational conflict are common to the individuals I see. Keith, my husband, and I offer couples and family therapy together as we feel that it is effective and expedient. When I am not counseling with my husband, I work with individuals and families who are in crisis and are desperate for change.

"I need something to change" is a great place to start. Counseling can be a place to facilitate this change. You may find that you are speaking one language while your spouse is speaking another. You can learn how to have a common language and corrective experiences that draw you closer together instead of further apart. Many of your wounds occurred in relationships, thus it is in relationships where they can be restored. I have served individuals and couples in a helping profession for nearly 30 years. You can find practical solutions as well as deep soul and relational change. Though not easy, real change is possible.

It’s a privilege to be invited into your life. Realizing it takes courage to reach out and schedule a first appointment, I'm committed to creating a soft place for you to land each time we meet, a place where you feel seen through a lens of non-judgment and compassion, a place where hope lives. And if life has gotten too messy for you to believe any longer, then let me hold hope for you until you can.

My primary clinical focus is helping women navigate the many challenges that they face in their various roles as moms, wives, friends, professionals, etc. I have recently completed a certification in Perinatal Mental Health, specializing in mood and anxiety disorders during the pregnancy and postpartum period. Areas of focus in our work together may include exploring issues of self-esteem, anxiety, depression, prenatal/postpartum adjustment, grief/loss, marital stressors, divorce adjustment, spirituality and boundaries in relationships.

My passion is helping hurting people. I consider it a true honor to walk alongside hurting people as they face relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction and other life challenges.

Have you ever felt like you are stuck in the same patterns and nothing seems to change them? I have the passion, expertise and great responsibility of coming along-side teens, couples, and victims of trauma who want to get "un-stuck". I respect the uniqueness of each client I work with and I have hope for them. I have over 10 years of experience working with families, couples, and teens. It would be my privilege to work with you to encounter hope, growth, unity and a healthy balance in your personal life and in your relationships.

Dr. Stacy Jagger is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor (RPT-S), and an AAMFT Approved Supervisor with her Doctorate in Ministry. But she’s not just a book-trained therapist, as her story attests. She is a speaker, author, transformational coach, mentor, visionary. She’s the founder of Music City Family Therapy and the inventor of the Mountain Method, her proprietary treatment protocol for working with the whole family when the primary concern is their children’s well-being. Stacy also regularly appears on Nashville’s WSMV and WKRN television stations.

My goal as your therapist is to create a relationship that you can use for your own growth. While I only practice evidence-based treatments informed by the latest research, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Therapy is an art as much as a science, one that is meant to honor your unique story and specific goals. Together we will explore your inner world and identify the beliefs and patterns that are keeping you from experiencing your life in the healthiest, most fulfilling, and most meaningful ways.

Whether the issues you are facing are big or small, they are important. And it's important that you find resolution in ways that allow you to live in the healthy and productive manner that you desire. My goal is to help you find the resolution you are seeking.

I decided to become a therapist because of my own struggles with mental health issues especially as an adolescent and young adult. I want to take these awful experiences and use them as motivation to help others. If you are an over thinker, I believe I can help. I work with engineers, executives, health care professionals, teachers, and pretty much any person who is in a profession that tends to reward perfectionism and over analysis.
