Therapists Beginning With A in Tennessee

The most rewarding therapy sessions occur with clients who are motivated to make progress towards the goals they set. I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client is of upmost importance to the client meeting their goals. I strive to build a trusting, supportive, and safe relationship with each of my clients. I believe everyone has their own unique story to tell. I enjoy hearing that story and helping people overcome the issues that can surface over a lifetime. I see adults and adolescents in my therapy practice as well as the occasional couple.

I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, depression, & coping with life changes. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Are you looking for help to get balance in your life? Do you have trouble sleeping? Do you have tension in your body causing your muscles to feel tight? You might be struggling with anxiety or depression or stress. Taking the next step can be scary or make you feel vulnerable but I’ll do everything I can to help you feel more comfortable.

Therapy is like any other relationship based upon having good boundaries, understanding, and mutual respect.

Overwhelmed and stressed by the thought of being "Superwoman" again? Time after time, you find yourself rescuing others and putting others before you. Leaving absolutely no time for yourself. Tired of constantly being the "Strong One?" Leaving yourself feeling drained and unfulfilled. At work, you go above and beyond but it goes unnoticed. At home, your days are filled with tasks that take up your entire day but you still feel unappreciated. Personally, you have told yourself that staying busy, overextending yourself and being the "Strong One" equals your success, value and worth.

If you're having a hard time right now, you are not alone! Cancellations, disrupted routines, isolation, financial uncertainty, political and racial tensions are testing each of our abilities to cope. The new stresses we face can illuminate weak spots in our relationships, our parenting, our self care routines, and/ or our mental health. Whether you feel overwhelmed by current events or greater clarity about what needs attention in your life, counseling can help you cope and gain the tools you need to live with more peace, confidence, more positive relationships, and resilience even through tough times.

Do you feel overwhelmed and out of control? Are you dealing with difficult people and problematic situations? Let me help you focus on the things that you can control and can change. Let's focus on changing your attitudes, expectations and outlook. Sometimes it is also important to redefine boundaries and expectations with others. I have a positive approach, will make practical suggestions and will support you in making important decisions. I specialize in relationship issues, marital counseling, resolving trauma, anxiety, depression and life transition issues. I teach stress management, relaxation exercises and guided imagery.

Hi! My name is Greg Kirkham and I am the founder/owner of About FACE family and child enrichment. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years experience as a mental health therapist. My approach to counseling, formed from the general belief that therapy is largely ineffective and a waste of time/money, emphasizes two key factors: therapeutic relationships and patient motivation to change. Either, without the other, renders change difficult, if not impossible. About FACE was created as my vision of how to produce results by focusing on readiness to change, rapport building and strengthening of relationships w/ others.

My passion is to help individuals identify healthy coping skills and beliefs to deal with everyday life issues or past difficulties that impact their lives today.

I named my practice Acorn Villa, because a villa represents a place where we feel comfortable and secure; the acorn represents change and growth. Just as the oak tree is waiting in the tiny acorn to grow into greatness, we too have the ability to grow into our greatest possible self. In order to cultivate the growth needed to thrive, we need to feel secure and supported. Acorn Villa is a place for learning new behaviors, cultivating positive change, and planning for successful futures...a place for change and growth. I want to support individuals in those difficult phases of life where they face challenges.

You do not have to live the way you’ve always lived. The suffering does not have to persist. You can choose yourself. This thing called life offers unexpected obstacles that cause a course change. Therapy enables us to feel empowered to overcome our barriers. We must self-search and manage internal issues to obtain that empowered position. There is no point to a bandaid approach, so we would work on the deeper issues that cause presenting problems, like unhealthy attachments and trauma. These are the source of anxious thinking, depression, and addictions. I am EMDR trained, which helps us to address root issues.

My work as a therapist is guided by the humanist theory that people can heal and grow if they have assistance that is genuine, empathetic, and accepting. I believe that when we accept ourselves exactly as we are, then we can find the strength to change behaviors that are not serving us. I specialize in working with people who have substance use, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal conflict issues. The approaches I use are informed by dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, positive psychology, attachment theory, and family systems theory.

I specialize in working with girls and women. They face unique challenges through emotional struggles and life transitions.

I have an eclectic approach to the therapeutic process which is very client centered and collaborative in nature. I am experienced in helping with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, addictions....among numerous other things. The journey of growth and self-discovery can be a difficult road. I am in this field because I sincerely want to help.

I am dedicated to working with children, adolescents, and adults as they walk through life. I believe in empowering clients through play and traditional talk therapy to enhance their strengths, so that they feel equipped in the midst of their personal and relational challenges. I’m passionate about my work and consider it an honor to come alongside clients in the process of healing. I strive to support the emotional and developmental needs of all clients. I work with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, communication, problem solving, stress management, anger management, and grief/loss.

Do you need a safe space to explore and process your thoughts and feelings? Is your child or teen struggling? Do you want to better manage minor or major stressors? Do you want someone to listen without bias or judgement and to meet you where you are in your current journey? If so, then I am passionate about providing a safe, secure, and comfortable environment where you can explore, grow, and successfully achieve your goals. Furthermore, my hope is for you to continue to succeed independently beyond your therapeutic experience.

We all at times feel inadequate, have a loss of direction, identity, and/or authenticity which transitions into a loss of real relationship. Our feelings, anxiety, depression, life losses, medical conditions, and other mental health challenges can knock us off balance. I am here to walk alongside others in finding a healthy path and learning to deal with reality in a positive way. My goal is to equip clients with healthy tools to live their best lives- a life that is true to themselves, that is whole, authentic, and empowering, providing contentment & fulfillment.
