Therapists in Memphis, TN

I work with clients that present with a variety of issues - depression, anxiety, addiction - often stemming from underlying issues with codependency, low self-worth, family of origin issues, and unresolved trauma. I see individuals, couples, and adolescents. If appropriate, I like working with clients in a group setting where peer support and identification with others help clients feel less misunderstood, alone or different.

Do you feel like you're in a relationship by yourself? Are you living with someone you do not trust, that you don't know anymore. Do you even talk? I can help you remember why you fell you in love. I am the only male relationship therapist in the MidSouth, specializing in diverse couples. I will lead you through a 10-week program, which focuses on rebuilding TRUST & improving communication. After your 3 week assessment, you and your partner will work through a 7 week couples centered treatment plan designed to resolve your relationship problems. During your assessment period, you'll begin my 31-day self help communication program.

I aim to help clients take an introspective look at environmental factors, familial factors, personality traits and more to comprise a treatment plan tailored to each client. I work with clients ages 15 and up who are dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, ADHD, family and relationship issues, trauma, or are looking to find their purpose in life. I have experience working with the LGBTQ+ community and helping clients discover and show their true colors. I also has experience working with those who are going through a breakup, divorce, or experiencing issues with family dysfunction and conflict.

We are created for relationship. When we are distant things feel wrong and uncomfortable. Being disconnected from those we love brings up sadness, anxiety, depression, stress, anger. It hurts to be distant. We feel lost and alone, not able to turn to the ones we love most for comfort and care. These longings and their distressing feelings don’t just go away. In the absence of relief, we may choose other ways to cope, using distance, distractions, substances, numbing out, or isolation.

Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, we are here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in sessions our therapists promote behavioral transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions. Our therapists have the tools and professional experience to help you get back on track.

Are you struggling to cope with the stressors of daily life? Having some difficulty adjusting to a recent life change? Experiencing anxiety, depression, or some thoughts and feelings that are distressing? In life we all experience seasons that can be overwhelming. Therapy helps to provide us with healthy tools to adjust to the things life might throw our way. My name is Bianca Powell and I am a clinical therapist with a master's degree in social work. As your therapist I will work with you to learn healthy coping skills while identifying and building on your personal strengths.

Feeling stuck? Hit a snag in your life? Do you find yourself going in circles and doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results? If so, I can help. Everyone experiences bumps in their life in which they are not able to maneuver past on their own. It’s okay, we have all been there. Everyone deserves to heal and to better their overall well-being - whether it’s healing from depression, addiction, a mood or personality disorder, trauma or anxiety. Each client and presenting issue is unique, and I treat each as so.

Are you the one in your family/circle who has "made it" and now you have become the exhausted rescuer for the people you care about? Are there relationships in your present or past that need to be put to rest so they can stop showing up in your thought life? Have you realized some emotional triggers but not sure what to do next? Are you tired of feeling emotionally overwhelmed? Wouldn't it help to have a place you can go to process how to create healthier expectations? Would it help to have a confidential place to figure out how to work through stress without having to babysit someone else's response? Are you in a life transition?

I love gaining insight into each client individually. The majority of my previous and current work includes processing childhood pain and healing for the adult self, anxiety, coping skills, self-worth work, emotional regulation and processing, communication skills, and childhood and adolescent counseling. It takes so much vulnerability to come and share past hurt and so much courage to process these emotions and memories. I love seeing clients process emotions and find solutions for their future. I love getting to work with clients in this way!

I believe that life is lived in the gray. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor committed to supporting my clients to navigate their way through life's ups and downs. I am trauma-informed and eclectic in my approach using strategies pulled from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing, as well as person-centered techniques when working with clients. I'm passionate about helping clients through seasons of transition.

Have you been feeling like something is wrong but you cannot pinpoint why? Do you find that you hid behind your accomplishments and don’t feel like you know yourself fully? Do you feel emotionally burnt out and not sure how to begin to take care of yourself? Do you often feel stressed, lack balance, and don’t know who you can talk to about it? I think I can help you! I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, seen ​, and understood so that they can be confident in who they are, what they want ​to do, and ultimately who they want to be. Therapy can be your first step to FEELING better and SEEING ​ better.

I work with a variety of different presenting concerns including anxiety, depression, intrapersonal and interpersonal struggles, and stress management. My clinical interests are in family of origin and childhood trauma and eating disorders. I work from a psychodynamic, person-centered approach and integrate different modalities based on individual need to meet you where you are at to help facilitate change and reach your goals. Through building a compassionate, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, my clients can feel safe and vulnerable to discuss their deepest struggles.

My ideal clients come to therapy with a deep desire to know and understand him/herself better. They are looking for a collaborative effort in gaining this understanding and are motivated to work outside of the office to achieve the desired result.

Each of us is an individual with many thoughts, feelings and responses. You don't always know where your emotions come from or what to do with them. Sometimes thinking "I don't need to deal with this" emotion or situation it'll all just go away. Yes, you may be able to ignore those thoughts and emotions for a period of time but then all of a sudden you are ready to explode with emotions hurt, sadness, frustration, guilt, shame, anger. Being able to reach out even though may be uncomfortable talking to sort out your thoughts & feelings can help to provide you with skills to develop a happier more desirable life.

I seek to help my clients learn how to embrace vulnerability as a means to healing, become aware of their emotions and inner thoughts to connect with oneself and others, and to trust that the love they deserve is the kind given without conditions.

When human beings experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. It is my life passion to bring healing to those who have been through a traumatic experience. I help my clients achieve a healthy perception of themselves as well as their relationships with others in order for them to live a life where they can feel whole and safe. In addition to trauma work, my other specialties include mood disorders, depression, anxiety, LBGTQIA+ concerns and young adult issues.
