Family Therapy in Brentwood, TN

Hello, I'm glad you stopped by! Please feel free to call/email me. I offer phone/email consultations to discuss what led you here and to see if we'd be a good therapeutic fit. Authenticity, compassion, non-judgment, honesty, and humor are the foundation of my work. As needed by the client, I shift from being primarily a listener, helping you to clarify your needs and wants, to action-oriented and directive, providing resources and skill building. I believe in comprehensive wellness, that emotional, physical, and relational health are interrelated, so even a small change in one area can affect the whole system.

Life is hard and it throws us one curve ball after the other. There is no need to go through it alone. Now is the time to focus on mending your heart from past and/or present wounds. If you've experienced triggers that are affecting your family , we can work through it. If your child is experiencing anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, behavioral issues, or lacks coping skills, we can work through it.

My goal while working with individuals in therapy is to help you cope with emotional pain and life stressors in order for you to lead a healthier and happier life. I want to assist you in thriving not just surviving life. I have experience working in diverse therapeutic settings.

I support high achieving black adults and couples, who are navigating day to day life changes such as family /friend relationships, stress management, and childhood trauma that still affects you. You deserve to heal, have healthy relationships and have inner peace. Therapy is a collaborative journey that you do not have to navigate alone.

Discretion, trust, and a sense of safety are paramount for successful therapy. Working with couples, individuals, and families, my goal is to provide an environment of privacy and safety. Those who participate in therapy find that it can be the impetus for improvement in every area of life. I discreetly work with those with high public profiles in areas that include marriage counseling, anxiety, self-esteem/confidence, depression, attachment wounds, trauma, and relationship distress.Many, whom have not considered systemic therapy previously often experience improved relationships in every aspect of their lives, including individuals in executive leadership and upper management positions, as well as entrepreneurs.

In therapy, we work together to uncover and understand the impact of your journey on the way you view yourself, the world and your spirituality. We all need space and support to grow into the best version of ourselves and I have found that therapy can offer invaluable tools and insight for that growth. I believe that we have each been given the strength to overcome our stories and live fulfilling lives that reflect our values. I am passionate about working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, those navigating addiction, those affected by the addictions of loved ones, and those seeking healing from trauma.

Anxiety exhausts, paralyzes, and overwhelms us. Depression leaves us feeling hopeless, worthless, and alone. ADHD can stifle our productivity while crushing our self-esteem. Addiction keeps us in bondage to that which will never truly satisfy. And marital and family relationships that were supposed to serve as secure bases can quickly become sources of tremendous pain and distress. You've tried to overcome these issues on your own but to no avail; you feel stuck and as though you've run out of options. But there is hope!

Are you feeling stuck? Do you feel powerless and defeated because life seems to be happening to you? Do you have trouble letting go of unhealthy parts of your life? Do you desire to live a more fulfilled, peaceful life but are having trouble getting there? Well, I can help. My specialty is helping clients feel more empowered and fulfilled in their life. I believe the counseling journey is a collaborative endeavor and healing happens in relationship to ourselves and with others. Together, we will face the challenges in your life and work to resolve them as we seek to uncover your true potential.

New Openings in My Group! Check it out. I work primarily with individual adults, couples and groups. I am committed to my own personal and professional growth - as I am to yours - and continue to educate myself about people and their relationship with self and others. Psychotherapy is a profession that invites life-long learning, and I have had years of post-masters training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, transactional analysis, redecision therapy and experiential methods (psychodrama, family sculpting, sociometry). My areas of expertise are mood disorders, addictions and relationships.

Rachel is a master’s level intern pursuing a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Lipscomb University. Prior to becoming a therapist, Rachel worked in corporate consulting in both the Chicago and Nashville areas. At her core, she deeply values improvement and believes in the power of positive emotional and relational experiences. She considers it a privilege to hear people’s stories and support them in healing, cultivating connection and meaning, and building a solid sense of self. Outside of work, Rachel enjoys playing Spikeball, reading, and watching reruns of New Girl.

I have 15 years of experience working with children and adults and the best feeling in my professional life is when my clients no longer need me. I consider it a privilege that I can help people through difficult times, whether it's workplace stress, life-phase challenges, relationship issues, concerns with family dynamics, or anxiety / depression taking their toll on everyday functioning. If you feel that any of the above are preventing you from feeling content, or from achieving your full potential in life, I can help you.

Welcome. If you are in crisis, are looking to make changes in your life, or are continuing along a path of personal growth, I may be able to help. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with specialized training in Trauma, Intimacy and Relationship Issues, and Issues of Sexual Health and Integrity. I have worked extensively in addiction treatment, but am by no means limited to working with people in recovery and the people who love them.

People start to heal the moment they feel heard. That is my goal in sitting with clients - to move towards healing by hearing their stories, strifes, and successes. I incorporate multiple modalities of treatment to give each client a unique experience that meets their specific needs. My hope is to join my clients in achieving meaningful and deep healing, identifying resources for continued growth, and developing secure attachments in their relationships. I am passionate about working with individuals and families of all ages who are processing through life transitions, identity, relationship issues, trauma, and grief and loss.

I help those with boundary problems, a lack of assertiveness, putting others' feelings and needs above their own, co-dependency, emotional disconnection, vulnerability problems, family enmeshment, relationship conflicts, religious abuse and deconstruction, shame/guilt, workaholism and burnout, and feeling wounded by modern society.

I'm so glad you're here. We aren’t meant to go through life's challenges alone, and I consider it to be a privilege to walk alongside you for a season of life. I specialize in relational trauma throughout the lifespan with a particular interest in conflict with parent/child relationships. I work with individuals (ages 16+) who are struggling to navigate difficult parental relationships such as narcissistic mothers, young adults struggling to individuate from family expectations, and dating anxiety.

As humans, we develop physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally throughout our lives. During our life our development becomes tested by typical and/or atypical challenges. How we respond to these challenges impacts our continued growth. I love working with people across the lifespan addressing these challenges during which learning, growth, and empowerment stem. I have a particular interest in working with children, adolescents, and young adults in their process of ‘becoming’.

The path to healing is learning to love yourself well. I use love, compassion, curiosity and insight to help guide you on a journey to internal healing and peace. I am doing both in person and video therapy at this time. I would be honored to walk with you during this difficult time.
