Have you struggled to find a therapist who respects your individuality while challenging you to grow? My name is Rebecca, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social work with eight years of experience in Tennessee. I am passionate about supporting people through their lives' ups and downs.

I am so happy that you are in the process of starting therapy. Some people think that going to therapy means that they are weak or can’t get themselves together. The truth is, strong people can admit when they need help, and none of us have it all together. Therapy is a safe place to come and learn about yourself and how experiences and circumstances have shaped you. Therapy can be beneficial for concerns ranging from feeling overwhelmed to suffering from a severe mental illness. My goal as a therapist is to identify what your goals and desires are emotionally and behaviorally and help you meet them.

It is my belief that every person has the ability to experience healing and personal growth if given the space and tools necessary. My goal is to offer a safe and collaborative environment to support my clients and encourage acceptance on their therapeutic journey. I welcome diversity of all kinds, including all genders, sexual orientations, races, cultures, faiths, abilities, sizes, and lifestyles.

Walking with people through some of their most difficult times is an honor and a responsibility that I do not take lightly. I have worked with children, adolescents, families, and adults in my career as a social worker. I am passionate about working with individuals who desire to do their own personal growth work, and families wishing to develop healthier boundaries and communication patterns that honor authenticity, connection, and compassion.

Finding a space to feel safe, heard, and valued can be extremely difficult. It's even harder to find this space, when we're feeling overwhelmed by life. Over the past 11 years, I have learned that this essential piece- developing trust and safety with my clients- is the basis for healing and wholeness. I truly strive to put my clients and their needs first. If you're struggling with mental health challenges as a result of trauma or significant life stress, I would love to talk more with you about how we might work together to begin finding the peace or healing that you're seeking.

Hi, I’m Sarah. I’m passionate about helping women to live authentic, empowered, connected lives. Whether you’re facing stress and anxiety, struggling with the messy ways in which painful events of the past show up in your everyday life, constantly feeling that you have to do, be or achieve more, investing so much in others that you’ve lost sight of who you are, craving deeper understanding of your life’s purpose and path, or just feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward - I’m here to help. It is my privilege to partner with women on their journey to wholeness and healing.

Are you feeling weighed down, stuck or burned out? Overwhelmed with the past, or maybe scared of the future? You're not alone. If you're ready to make some changes, it can feel like a daunting task and maybe even a big gamble. I want to help make your healing journey feel safe and attainable by providing a warm, supportive, and tailored counseling experience.

My experiences in both clinic settings and private practice have provided opportunities to counsel a diverse population of children, teens and adults. In my counseling, I strive to create an understanding, supportive environment in which people have the opportunity to process their difficulties and generate solutions. I specialize in life adjustment, stress management, trauma recovery, parenting, post-adoption issues and spiritual integration.

Life is tough and we were not created to walk through life alone. I believe my call to counseling is so that I can walk alongside individuals who are desiring growth, healing, and change in any area in their life.

**Currently has a waitlist** Asking for help can be a hard and scary thing to do. It takes courage to admit that you’re struggling. To me, therapy should be a safe space where you can be open, honest, and vulnerable without feeling ashamed, embarrassed, or judged. Some of my areas of interest and training include treating depression and other mood disorders, generalized anxiety, trauma/PTSD, substance abuse, domestic violence, and interpersonal challenges. I work primarily with adults and have a particular passion for working with women struggling with identity, self-esteem, relationship, & postpartum issues.

Many people seeking therapy are simply sensitive souls in need of new or different ways of protecting themselves in a world which does not always honor the intuitive, sensitive, and creative self. I am passionate about helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and obsessional thinking that I believe often results from highly sensitive creative individuals lacking an outlet for expressing and/or understanding themselves.

Carl Rogers said, "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." I believe that you hold the key to success within yourself. My goal is to create a safe space, free of judgment, where you can feel supported. By meeting you where you are and guiding you on the path towards your authentic self, we can begin your healing journey! I see my clients through a holistic lens and am passionate in maintaining awareness of the mind-body connection. Through mindfulness and acceptance of self, you will be able to create meaningful change in your life.
