Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists in Brentwood, TN

Hello, and thank you for reading my bio! I'm Kim Corts, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Tennessee. Like most people, I have a varied life history full of experiences and challenges that have shaped me for better or worse. In my work, I help others to find the "better" in those challenges.

All of us are born inherently valuable and that never changes. Unfortunately, things like depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD and addiction may have us questioning that truth. We often become our own worst critic especially at a time when we need encouragement, guidance and perspective the most. Since 2011 when I began working in mental health my primary mission has been to challenge the negative self-talk, that only keeps us in a downward depressed cycle. My approach is rooted in person-centered therapy along with cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, experiential therapy and EMDR depending on the client’s needs.

Assist each client to become empowered to utilize their internal strengths to experience positive outcomes while addressing and resolving past and present obstacles. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing and non-threatening environment where one feels valued as an individual who is free to express themselves while being listened to without being judged or criticized. My ideal client is one who is internally motivated to utilize counseling to open doors to new possibilities to facilitate growth to occur.

I have over 20 years of experience working in the mental health field in a variety of settings including community mental health, residential facilities, case management, and Private Practice since 2011. I work with a variety of client backgrounds, ages 10 and up. I do individuals, couples and family counseling. Please call with any questions.

I specialize in helping those who struggle with childhood trauma and self-esteem to gain courage and hope for life. My goal is to rebuild your confidence by healing your past. There is so much potential each of us leaves on the table, my goal is to help you tap into that. You must develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others to rediscover that joy in life. Ultimately, in our work together, you can become the best version of yourself and embrace who you truly are. Whether you are struggling with past trauma, self-esteem, anxiety, grief, depression, or a career choice, I believe we can find a solution together.

We all bear wounds of some kind. Everyone has a unique life story to share. I became a therapist to listen to others’ stories of pain, and work with them to find light in their darkness. For 15 years, I have worked with individuals and families that have suffered from wounds inflicted by others, as well as emotional harm that may be self inflicted. Trauma and dysfunctional family patterns, or damaging thoughts- such as shame, anxiety, and self-defeat- may serve as examples of these wounds. The weight of unresolved emotional and mental pain can be both limiting and exhausting. But there is hope, and these wounds can be mended.

We all have times in our lives where it is difficult to get through the day without feeling overwhelmed or like things will never get better. Life transitions, losses, traumas, and fears are all part of the human experience, but these experiences don’t have to be addressed alone.

The therapeutic relationship can be that agent, whether you are here because you struggle with depression, anxiety, self doubt, I can help.

I'm passionate about partnering with and walking alongside others in their most difficult moments to offer a renewed sense of hope and healing. Research shows the value in a therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe and accepted. I see this relationship as the foundation my clients and I build upon to move towards progress and transformation. My clinical interests include depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, trauma, sexuality, boundaries, spirituality, and life-transitions.

So many of us are suffering alone from common problems of everyday life: loneliness, grief, depression, anxiety, self-contempt, a love obsession, domestic violence, impotence, irritability, relational issues etc. With so much longing and pain that is easily accessible, I am available and wholeheartedly dedicated to helping clients uncover the roots of these everyday problems. My goal is to help clients develop a better sense of who they are while providing a safe space and research based techniques that are tailored to individual needs.
