Therapists in Nashville, TN

I truly believe that each client is the absolute expert on themselves and strive always to create space for clients to feel, be, and show up as their authentic selves. My approach is relational, casual, sex positive, and gender affirming. I take a systems approach to appreciating all the different factors that make up you and your unique experiences in the world. I specialize in complex trauma, and love to work with folks within the LGBTQIA2S+ community, folks struggling to navigate overwhelming emotions, folks struggling with boundary setting, and folks looking to explore and truly find love and compassion for themselves.

I am so glad you are here. Reaching out for help can be a difficult and crucial first step on the path to healing. And sometimes our hardest endeavors become our greatest joys. It is normal for us to experience a wide range of emotions in this life. As a therapist, it is my goal to provide a safe space for clients to be seen, heard, and navigate all that life has in store. My professional experience includes a variety of trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, anxiety, perfectionism, adverse religious experiences and spiritual issues, the music business and touring life, body image and disordered eating, and grief and loss.

As a perfectionist, overachieving woman, you have worked hard to get to where you are today. Hyper-independence is your middle name. But even with all your achievements, you still worry it's not enough. You constantly push yourself to be better and achieve more, rarely stopping to celebrate your wins. You struggle with feelings of self-doubt, anxiety, and overwhelm, and find it difficult to turn off your thoughts and relax. You feel like you are constantly on the brink of burn out. You may have unresolved childhood trauma that continues to impact you. You know something needs to change, you just aren't sure of what or how.

I specialize in Jungian dream therapy, as well as teach mind/body integration techniques. Dream work is an intelligent and insightful method of psychotherapy to understand the deeper needs of the soul. Mind/body techniques of traditional long standing practices transform physiological responses to anxiety and to enhance emotional bandwidth and resiliency.

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.

It takes a brave person to recognize that they want more in life; it takes a courageous person to go after that. Trauma, regardless of where it stems from, alters all areas of life including how we see ourselves, others, and the world, how we relate, how we feel in our bodies, how we express emotions, how we think, and our personal sense of safety and autonomy in the world. We desire to help you resolve the experiences that resulted in trauma and recover from the impact trauma has had on your life.

I work with smart, kind, capable people, who, despite their successes, are overwhelmed with anxiety and self-critical thoughts. You want relief from the overwhelm, burnout, and people pleasing. Together, we will explore what's keeping you stuck and learn skills to relieve anxious and overly critical patterns, so you can get back in touch with who you are without all the noise. Even amongst the chaos, it's possible to ease your mind and access inner peace. It's not your fault you feel this way and, with a little help, you can find relief and move forward. You deserve relief and a chance to live your most whole-hearted life.

Greetings! I'm Karen Roberts, a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience in working with individuals, families, and groups in community. In therapy, my approach is to meet you where you are on your journey and collaborate towards achieving your goals. By envisioning what changes you desire in your life, you have already taken the first step. Perhaps you aim to be more vibrant, energetic, decisive, and purposeful. Imagine the possibilities if you could tap into these qualities. What would your life look like and how would you feel?

Welcome to a space dedicated to your well-being and growth. As a therapist, I focus on navigating the complexities of trauma, anxiety, and life stressors. Together, we'll embark on a journey of healing and resilience, fostering a path towards a more empowered and fulfilling life.

I am a licensed psychologist providing both psychotherapy and testing services for children, adolescents, and adults. I provide comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational evaluations for ADHD, Autism, Learning Differences, and associated psychological concerns. Testing appointments are provided on weekends so you don't have to miss school or work, and I provide results from a strengths-based and therapeutic assessment framework, with the goal of empowering you to thrive and succeed after receiving diagnostic clarity. My goal is to make the testing process as engaging, illuminating, and empowering as possible!

I specialize in trauma/complex trauma, sexual violence/abuse, domestic violence and emotional abuse, chronic pain/illness, depression and other mood disorders, anxiety, and eating disorders/disordered eating. I take an integrative approach to sessions and love to apply many therapeutic modalities to fit each individual client’s needs.
