Therapists in Nashville, TN

I am a Chicagoland native that migrated to Nashville in 2019 to pursue my passion for helping and motivating those in need of guidance and counseling. Working as a mental health professional with more than two decades of experience in counseling, public service and resolution, leadership roles, and mentoring, I have developed a distinct skill set for providing effective counseling and act as a positive support system for adults, adolescents, and children.

I offer clients wellness services, mental health therapy, and medical and neurological rehabilitation services that use traditional talk therapy as well as music and the creative arts as treatment tools. My goal is to help you, or your child, develop the skills and abilities to feel your best physically, mentally, and emotionally. Sessions may include education around the role of trauma, past experience, and neurochemistry in how we feel and act now, mindfulness exercises, relaxation practices, creativity-based activities, and the development of individualized plans to help practice healthier thought and behavior patterns.

I specialize in working with clients who are having symptoms with anxiety, depression, sexuality, religious trauma, interpersonal relationships, ADHD, and trauma. My role and passion as a therapist, is to work alongside my client(s) to help them accomplish their goals in alleviating their current areas of concern and growth. My hope for each of my clients is for them to aquire the tools and knowledge needed for them to gain peace and fulfillment within their life.

Our lives are stories meant to be told in full. It is in the telling of our unfiltered stories that we can begin to see things as they truly are and then work towards growth, change and healing. I believe in providing you a safe, non-judgmental and comfortable space to explore your inner and outer world. I offer to walk with you at your pace through the challenges and emotions of life, and hope to provide a source of light at your feet to help navigate unfamiliar or unstable terrains.

Therapy focuses on the essential areas of the complexity of human behavior and development in a collaborative therapeutic setting. Therapy provides the opportunity to process challenges an individual may be struggling with by identifying coping skills and therapeutic resources. Transparency and vulnerability are necessary to approach sensitive personal experiences, and most importantly, I believe barriers can be broken with awareness, accountability, education, and resources. As a Licensed Master Social Worker, my educational background and work experience has enhanced my ability to treat various challenges and trauma.

You're unsettled, overwhelmed, burned out. Worst-case scenarios and defeating thoughts stop you from finding peace, and it seems like panic is becoming the norm. You avoid, distract, or argue with yourself to get some quiet, only for the process to start right back up, or worsen. You wonder, "Why can't I stop...(insert thoughts/emotions)? How come...(insert standard solution) isn't working? What's WRONG with me?!" You want to be the calm, capable, and in-control person you envision, you're just not sure where to start. But, healing IS possible and it's nearer than it seems. You've already taken the first step by considering therapy!

Your therapy experience should be tailored to you! My approach to therapy is unique. Each session integrates creative and mindful elements to engage my clients and open the door to new realizations and greater understanding.

I work with individuals, couples and families who are dealing with problems which hinder them from growing in their personal life and their relationships. I use a non-judgmental systems approach to understand all the factors relevant to the issues you are facing. Then, to assist you, in finding the "best" path for your healing and growth. I am glad to offer non-denominational Christian based counseling to anyone who desires to work from that spiritual background. Although, I am happy to work with people of all thoughts and belief systems.

Hello, I'm Icy Diamond, a licensed social worker at Radical Change Therapy where I provide a collaborative and safe environment for children to develop healthy behavior patterns and positive coping strategies while working alongside their families to understand their reactions and behavior through the lens of intergenerational interpersonal trauma. Processing family trauma allows parents to understand and rework how they show up for their children, children to seize the maturity and motivation to create new family legacies, and families as a whole to build the rapport and resilience needed to heal and move forward together.

Life is MESSY. It's serving chaos, stress, and curveballs left and right. And unfortunately… the messiness is probably more common than “everything going like it should.” Still, you don’t have to navigate the mess alone. If you feel lost, overwhelmed, or have no idea what to do next— let me be a partner on your path. We can work on cultivating and increasing your access to the strengths you already have inside, but may not always know how to tap into right now. I do this work because I feel passionate about supporting people as they navigate challenging life circumstances and create a life that is authentically meaningful.

I work well with clients who are driven toward growth and hungry for insight. I am here to help individuals who are seeking to find stability, discover their value and worth, and bring health and restoration to their relationships.

Yo! I’m Payton, I’m an openly queer + nonbinary human and my pronoun are they/she! I think that humans are the coolest. My philosophy as an Identity Doula + Healing Practitioner takes into consideration that every human and every situation is different, thus unique tools and approaches are required for unique people and things. Sessions with me will go beyond standard talk therapy, as it is my personal and professional opinion that humans often heal with art, movement, visuals, embodiment, activities, and music better than they do with standard talk therapy alone. (Try to think of this as fun and exciting, not scary or awkward!)

Being a human can be tough. My practice is centered upon helping people deepen their human experience and live a more embodied, present life. Many of my clients are creatives hoping to harness their power, individuals who have experienced early childhood trauma, or people who simply feel "wounded". Our “body memories” & old stories can often be limiting us from our fullest potential of healing. With a neuro-experiential framework, I offer specializations in life transitions, attachment wounds, relational healing, addictions and self soothing behaviors, building self worth, LGBTQIA+ issues, and managing complex emotions.
