Divorce Therapists in Bartlett, TN

Life does not always come easy and can present us with very difficult challenges. These challenges impact our lives and often cause us to feel alone, ashamed, afraid, inadequate, overwhelmed and lead to isolation, withdrawal, risky behaviors, and decreased functioning in social, work, or other areas of life. Unfortunately, in our struggle to cope, our emotional and mental health needs have often been minimized, pushed down, or completely ignored. Therapy often helps us navigate these challenging times and attain more fulfilling lives.

Are you (or your child or adolescent) feeling irritable or tired? Are you having trouble sleeping, concentrating, or simply making it through each day? Perhaps those in your household are wrestling with feelings of anger, sadness, anxiety, or social isolation. First and foremost, you aren't alone. And believe it or not, what you or your family members are struggling with may be rooted in grief and loss, trauma, or even shame. Environmental stress, the death of a loved one, changes in physical health, divorce or relationship loss, and day-to-day life transitions can thrust anyone into an emotional and physical tailspin.

Anxiety and depression, as well as life transitions can cause you to feel alone in your journey. Life can be stressful, overwhelming and difficult at time and it takes a lot of courage and strength to take the initial steps to seek help. As a counselor, I would like to welcome the opportunity to work with you in making the changes. I will provide guidance in a nonjudgemental and a safe environment where you can feel empowered to find clarity and self-awareness to make the needed and wanted changes.

I have substantial experience working with children and adolescents in the following areas: emotional and behavioral issues, trauma, adoption and foster care issues, grief/loss, learning and developmental disabilities, anger management, family/relational problems, communication and social skills, self-injurious behavior, anxiety and stress management, LGBTQ population, attachment issues, and emerging adult/life transitions.

I work well with clients whom are seeking to improve their quality of life. If there’s ever a moment where one maybe feeling a void, emptiness inside of them I assist and facilitate clients through rediscovery of self. The concept of being fully aware of oneself and how you see the world is crucial to identifying and upholding your personal values and standards. It’s when we neglect our standards of living do we find conflict or that internal battle. Most of the time this happens when a life stressor occurs. My ideal client is one whom is ready to move from victim to survivor.

I have ten years of counseling experience that is widespread across areas such as grief, crisis, anger management, family counseling, play, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I have worked with organizations such as The Exchange Center, presently known as The Kindred Center, Shelby County Crime Victims/Rape Crisis Center, Lakeside Behavioral Health, Mending Hearts Grief Camp for Kids, and Case Management Inc. Everyone should have a voice to be heard and treated with the utmost respect. My mottos are: “Golden Rule” and “Do Unto Others as you will have them do unto you .”I am thrilled and excited to work with you on your journey

A starting point of CHANGE..."We can't solve our problems by using the same thinking we used when we created them."--Albert Einstein. It is true that we cannot always chose the events that happen or have happened to us. But we CAN chose consciously the interpretation we make about things that happen to us. Change begins when we accept ourselves "as is" and empower ourselves to overcome or cope with life's challenges. Change occurs when we stop believing negative thoughts about ourselves and the world around us and begin giving ourselves the love and acceptance that we desperately need and deserve.

The Self-care Experience provides dedicated counseling & coaching services for women who juggle multiple roles and don't put themselves first. We are intentional about helping women understand the true meaning and value of self-care . If you feel burned out, anxious & stressed, this is an indicator that you are not taking good care of yourself. Maybe you struggle with setting healthy boundaries and you feel unappreciated, unseen and unheard in your relationships. Utilizing a holistic approach to therapy we focus on healing from the inside out and promoting mental, emotional, physical, relational and spiritual balance. Time to heal!

TRAUMA: A threatening experience that is too much, too fast. When stressed out or truly overwhelmed, our instinctual survival responses can be blocked. If unable to complete our body’s survival responses, trauma occurs and symptoms emerge. We can feel stuck in flight, fight or freeze. Negative feelings, thoughts, behaviors and stress disorders often lie within the mind-body connection. As one who facilitates healing from emotional, spiritual, and physical pain and suffering, I am dedicated to working compassionately, non-judgmentally and collaboratively with you to become "unstuck" and find a greater sense of healing and wholeness.

Are you feeling lonely, hopeless and empty? Do you have relationship problems or marriage difficulties? Do you feel that no one cares or understands you? You may have tried many different approaches but nothing have worked. I am here to assist you to find happiness in your life again.

With over 8 years' experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I am qualified to work with children, adolescents, families, and adults. My preferred clients are children and adolescents and their families; however, I truly enjoy the young adult and middle aged women I have been privileged to work with as private clients. My passion is equine assisted psychotherapy, as well as any therapy involving animals, and my strength is empowering clients to gain the knowledge and skills they need to make lasting positive changes in their lives!

Everyone experiences feelings of anxiety, stress, sadness, and other feelings that are difficult from time to time. When emotional or behavioral problems are disrupting your life, it may be time to reach out for help. At FFC, we offer Individual Therapy, Couples Therapy, Family Therapy, Group Therapy, Telehealth, Consultation, and Community Education as means to help our community "Learn. Heal. Thrive."

I have a passion to help people find hope and healing through their difficult times in life. I want people to know that they are not alone, as well as to feel like they are heard and can be understood. I like to work from a holistic point of view by incorporating your mind, body and soul into the healing process. I want to help people take back control over their thoughts and help them to express themselves in a safe environment. I want to help people learn to love themselves again and feel a connection from the healing process. I believe that we were made to grow in life by working together and learning from one another.

Connecting with a therapist is one of be biggest struggles when seeking counseling. I come with more than 15 years of experience working with families, couples/relationships, and individuals.

I strive to create a safe, accepting environment where individuals can fully explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors while learning appropriate coping skills and effective problem solving techniques. My training as a social worker encourages me to focus on an individual's strengths and build upon these to create realistic and achievable goals. I truly believe that individuals can create a more satisfying and happy life for themselves through the process of psychotherapy. I look forward to taking this journey with you.
