Grief Therapists in Coffee County, TN

Life can be difficult at times. It is nice to have someone you can confide in about life struggles you are experiencing. Pain unfortunately is a part of the human experience. There are many reasons we may seek therapy, but regardless of your reason, we could all benefit from a little extra support in life, especially when times are rough. I am dedicated to helping individuals, adolescents, and families.

Are you seeking a safe space where you can be heard,.. be honest,.. be encouraged and empowered? Are you ready to tackle unresolved issues past and present? Now is the time. My goal is to help you gain insight and develop skills for growth and balance.

Do you live in constant fear? Are you overwhelmed by grief? Do you find yourself feeling sad, withdrawn, irritable, and lonely? Are you struggling to communicate with your teen? Do you often wonder why they behave in certain ways? If so, I would like to help. We all would like to think we are strong enough to overcome these issues on our own, but there comes a time when we need to reach out for additional help. I specialize in treating trauma, mood disorders, and grief. I also have worked extensively with teens and their families, so I know the problems that are unique to teens.

We all struggle at times for many different reasons. I believe having the tools to help ourselves navigate these times can be invaluable and I am committed to helping my clients discover their tools. I am a LCSW with many years of experience in various settings including hospital systems, adoption and foster care, justice system, and private practice. I have provided direct client care, managed teams, trained clinicians in emergency room settings, utilized telehealth, and provided supervision/training to other professionals in my field. All of these opportunities have taught me that Everyone can flourish and pursue their best self.

Overwhelmed? Anxious? Experiencing family conflict? Stuck with traumatic memories? Your value is not impacted by facing these common problems in life. There is hope for you and your relationships! It may be difficult to see that hope in the darkness of depression or stress, but let's work together to find the hope that is already there!

The ideal client is a person who desires to reach his or her full potential and is motivated to make the necessary changes for that growth. As a counselor, my goal is to see clients reach their full potential through the self-actualization process and by overcoming barriers to sound mental health.

Choices, we all have them. Sometimes life gives us more than we can handle. Sometimes we need help going trough choices we have to make. Sometimes we need help navigating past choices or choices of others. I help clients to experience a safe environment to explore your life choices and challenges without judgement. Together we can explore the challenging areas in life and distress you are experiencing to customize an individual approach to treatment. I use a holistic, whole person approach with the goal of restoring your body, mind, and soul.

"There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds." – Laurell K. Hamilton. You are struggling to manage painful feelings and it is spilling into multiple areas of your life — sabotaging meaningful relationships and disrupting your work life. It is difficult to focus on a task for more than a few minutes before you are sucked into the negative thought spiral. Past experiences haunt you, driving you to use those self-destructive behaviors you thought you left behind. It is difficult to imagine a life where you are content and feel safe.

Now more than ever women, men, and couples are feeling overwhelmed about finding peace and their place in life. We believe there is hope and that there are answers. At Wheeler and Wheeler Counseling we work as a husband and wife duo providing both individual and couples counseling. We are licensed Christian counselors who integrate faith with the daily challenges our clients face. We love collaborating with couples in marriage counseling, premarital counseling, and what we like to call prebaby counseling. As partners in both life and practice, we bring a deep understanding of the joys, struggles, and intricacies in relationships.

Listening to where you have been, understanding your choices, and helping you discover who you are and where you want to go from here is an honor. Let me help you take the “abnormal” out of your normal, your well-being and confidentiality are my priorities. I am a generalist counselor with experience in Trauma, Grief, Disillusionment with Religion, and co-occurring disorders. I utilize many tools including not limited to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Gestalt, Solution Focused, and CBT. I also have the privileges to diagnose if needed for insurance reimbursement.
