Therapists in Dickson, TN
Hey there, great job at taking the time to focus on your self-care! I know this process can be scary but let’s see if we can walk through it together. I work with a wide variety of clients that have been affected by substance use & addiction(individual struggling themselves or their support systems & those affected by their use). Whether you’re not sure about this whole therapy thing or you know it’s time to make a change, you don’t have to figure out your next steps alone. I have experience in working with the LGBTQ+ community in providing gender & trauma informed care while working towards a happy and fulfilled life.

In a world that looks more connected than ever, many people feel deeply isolated. You may seem “fine” on the outside while carrying anxiety, shame, grief, or self-doubt. I work with adolescents and young adults navigating anxiety, identity, trauma, and life transitions, and I treat a wide range of concerns. Many clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or are exploring their neurodivergence. I offer a judgment-free, collaborative space rooted in trust, helping you build self-understanding, coping skills, and a life that feels more aligned and sustainable.

Sometimes the hardest part is not knowing why you feel the way you do. You may feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in overthinking, disconnected in relationships, or overwhelmed by expectations you can’t seem to escape. I work with teens, adults, couples, & families who are trying to hold everything together while quietly struggling underneath the surface. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping you understand your emotions rather than fight against them. I use EMDR, Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), with Christian counseling available for those who want faith integrated into the process

Hi, my name is Denise Walker. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor/Mental Health Service Provider in Tennessee. Counseling is first a relationship between you and me. I will listen, be compassionate, and be curious about who are and your hopes for counseling. Second, I will use my knowledge and experience to pull from my counseling toolbox as I believe every person is unique and one size does not fit all. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, want to make a change in your life, or simply need someone to talk to, I am here.

We all have an innate capacity to create a sense of well-being. Yet, the demands of our lives---difficult relationships, losses, disappointments, transitions---can cause feelings of helplessness or even despair. Vitality falls way to depression or anxiety or addictive behaviors. Therapy can be useful to better understand and manage the complexities of your life; to reclaim some vitality; to love, work, and play in ways that are more congruent with who you strive to be. With twenty five years of experience, I offer seasoned and compasssionate guidance as you define your specific goals and work toward inhabiting a truer version of yourself.

I believe you deserve the opportunity to meet your most authentic and confident self and to find joy in the journey of doing so. Whether that means healing from trauma, finding where you belong, or learning how to get out of your own way— we can work together to make space in your life for what matters, and that's you. I also acknowledge that each of us exists within larger systems (some of which can be inherently unjust) and that building such a life often requires you to find belongingness and support both from within and from without. I strive to make therapy a healing space but also approachable, safe, and even silly sometimes!

Thankfully, times are changing. Mental health is being prioritized, and it's OK to not be OK. I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a master’s from Lipscomb University. I offer in-person and telehealth sessions. If you’re struggling, help is available. Call me at 615-414-6210.

I'm known for a direct, intuitive and loving approach. Like the horses, I tell it like it is and I hold space for you to find contentment and growth. First session is information gathering, goal setting and education on what can provide you with some immediate relief from symptoms. We support that foundation each time we meet and go deeper emotionally to understand the "hows and whys" of what got you stuck. I may provide readings or other activities to do in between sessions so that therapy becomes a new habit for you. Horses help us by supporting our authenticity as we engage the new things we have learned.
