Therapists in Franklin, TN

Wherever you are on your journey, my goal as a therapist is to help kindle a light on your path. Reaching out for help is not easy. I work to create a safe place by building a therapeutic relationship based on genuineness, trust, and empathy. Through dialogue, the aim is to deepen the meaning of your journey, compassionately addressing any issues in your life that may have led you to therapy. I specialize in treating adults, children, and families. I enjoy working directly with parents to provide parent education, and working with children using play and art therapy.

I believe we all do our very best to cope with life’s challenges. Allowing someone to face those challenges with you can be one of the hardest aspects of starting psychotherapy. I approach therapy as a partner in exploration and discovery. I work toward creating a safe, warm environment that facilitates connection, understanding, and positive change. Every person is unique and so are their strengths, struggles, and goals, so I focus on tailoring treatment to the specific needs of each client.

Jacque Huffaker is a natural—she was born to be a therapist. She is that rare blend of clinician who possesses both strength and warmth which seem to magically combine to create “just the right fit” for just about any personality type. She can put you at ease while challenging you in the same moment. Jacque knows that it takes courage to be vulnerable, to speak your truth, and share raw emotions. Jacque believes that anyone willing to take on that challenge deserves the utmost respect. She is a problem-solver who never backs down from a challenge, while her wry and quirky sense of humor keep her from taking herself too seriously.

Living on our nerves has become a way of life for a lot of us. Trauma can cause us to walk around in a state of anxiousness, weariness, or hyperactivity.
