Female Therapists in East Memphis-Colonial-Yorkshire, Memphis, TN

My experience consists of working with children while at CPS; working with adults while employed at California State Prison and working in the hospital setting servicing families and those in need of mental health therapy/crisis intervention. My approach to mental health therapy is patient centered which allows for private sessions to be guided and created around the patients’ needs and desired outcomes.

***NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP), and a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). My practice encompasses children, adolescent and adults living with Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/other related disorders, Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors, Tics/Tourette’s, ADHD, PTSD/trauma, and Insomnia. I also have an extensive background in treating individuals with Co-occurring Disorders and I provide Department of Transportation (DOT) Evaluations as a Substance Abuse Professional.

Seeking therapeutic support is a step toward healing and growth. It shows that you realize you don't have to walk alone and you are ready for change. I want to be that person that walks alongside you on your journey toward balance. We all need someone to talk to that can be a mirror, help us illuminate areas in our lives that may be hidden or unclear, and share skills that we can use to enhance our well-being. I have a heart for those dealing with life transitions, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career issues, grief and the effects of past trauma.

I especially enjoy work with pre-teens, teenagers, and adults experiencing eating disorders, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, postpartum issues, body image issues, self-esteem/self-worth issues, generalized and social anxiety, life transition issues, trauma and PTSD, depression, attachment issues and grief and loss. I believe in helping clients heal by establishing safe and secure attachments to themselves and others, utilizing current strengths as well as internal and external resources to create lasting change.

My goal is to empower my clients to lead full, integrated, self-led lives. Together we will focus not only on behavior change and symptom reduction, but also on compassionately addressing and resolving the underlying factors and beliefs that drive coping responses into extremity. Through an integrated approach rooted in the Internal Family Systems model, I help clients to heal their attachment wounds and take ownership of their identity formation. Clients leave my office with better coping skills, a deeper understanding and connection to Self, and a renewed sense of purpose and empowerment.

Do you feel disconnected from your life? Are you tired of knowing what you “should” be doing to reach your potential, but you just can’t seem to follow through? Sometimes we get stuck and find ourselves having a hard time breaking free of set-backs, disappointments, or traumatic events. This can lead to a spiral that starts to affect our work, our relationships, and how we feel about ourselves. If you are feeling anxious, depressed, or just stretched in too many directions at once, it's time to do something--it's time to reclaim your life. Therapy is a safe place we can work together to do just that.

Welcome! I am attachment-based and skilled with trauma-informed interventions such Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR. Though I am well versed in wide variety of issues, my heart aligns with survivors of sexual trauma, domestic violence, and clients struggling with eating disorders. I have worked at a women's shelter for domestic and sexual violence, and I have 4+ years of experience working with eating disorders at the residential and outpatient levels of care.

My approach with my clients is one of being relaxed and personable. I am methodical in pacing therapy with the client's own needs and coping skills. Clients are taught usable ways to deal with stress, intense emotions and disturbing thoughts. My goal is to help each client focus on living life to the fullest instead of going through the motions of living life. As a Christian counselor, I respect each individual's beliefs in God and salvation. I actively seek God's healing graces to guide me in my work to help my clients.

Counseling with a healthy dose of sarcasm, swearing, and authenticity. We all know that life isn't easy. Everyone of us is challenged whether it's everyday life struggles, relationship problems, infertility, life transitions, or other mental health concerns. The strain of these stressors can build until you find yourself completely exhausted and overwhelmed. It takes strength to recognize that you need a little help. I'm hoping to help clients who are willing to be challenged, are seeking empathy, and are ready to make changes. It is my hope that clients can leave therapy feeling more centered and more capable to face life.

As a social work therapist, I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space for individuals from 6-40 years who have experienced trauma. My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs and goals, utilizing evidence-based interventions to promote healing and growth. Through compassionate and empathetic support, I aim to help clients address their trauma, build coping skills, and work towards a sense of empowerment and well-being. By collaborating with clients to identify their aspirations and motivations, I strive to empower them to regain a sense of control and move towards a more positive and fulfilling future.

As an MSW intern with Honeybee Wellness Consulting, I am determined to help you become the best version of yourself. I have over 3 years of experience in providing emotional support and case management services to students and their families in the school setting. I have experience in facilitating groups for at-risk youth, youth with mood and learning disorders, and youth experiencing homelessness. I also have a wide range of experience in working with women and mothers on various issues such as self-esteem, generational trauma, communication skills, parenting, self-fulfillment, and stress.

As a therapist for nearly 30 years, I have worked with many people on a variety of different issues including, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, PTSD, an early or recent history of trauma, relationship issues, and others. My approach focuses on establishing a safe and peaceful place for clients to process through past or present issues. And then, work with clients to develop and implement individualized treatment, which usually includes healthy coping methods for stress, anxiety and mood management, using relaxation, meditation, stress-management, and if therapeutically necessary, EMDR.

Closed presently. With a doctorate in clinical psychology and 25+ years experience, I enjoy working with adults (22yrs. & up) & couples. My approach is to help you clarify goals, then work as a team. Whether your goals may be to improve mood, relationships, or behaviors, I will likely show you various pathways to improvement, and then support your choices.

I believe in the importance of treating the whole person: body, mind, spirit. My approach is empowering you to make your own decisions, to help you set your own goals and to walk with you on your journey to health.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in Person-Centered therapy in which the relationship between client and clinician is a priority and is based in mutual trust and respect, empathy and congruence. I use integrative techniques in every session to meet the unique needs of each client, such as CBT, trauma-informed therapy and mindfulness-based therapy. I believe that individuals are experts on themselves and because of this I take a collaborative approach in working with clients, utilizing what is known as Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) to get client input in evaluating progress and clients’ needs.

I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgmental environment in which together we can identify your goals and develop an individualized plan to meet them. In addition to helping clients develop ways to cope with current stressors and manage behavior, I believe that therapy is most effective when also addressing the underlying issues that led to the development of current symptoms.

Life is full of choices and challenges, particularly the challenges in our relationships. It takes courage and support to make the choice to get to a healthier place or to end a toxic relationship. Maybe you've already tried to recover or discover a better version of you, and your best efforts didn't seem to work. What if there is another way...a better way to achieve the life you want?

Would you like to find a way to recognize the positive things in your life and enjoy them without self doubt and anxiety? Are you in recovery from abuse or another traumatic event? Many people lose hope without realizing there are effective treatments to reduce reactivity and learn to walk through difficult times with grace. All of the Brené Brown, LMSW, PhD treatment models (The Daring Way, Rising Strong and Gifts of Imperfection) help you recognize your authenticity and gain skills to move through life with purpose and grace. EMDR can also help ease past trauma's and allow you to thrive despite difficult past experiences.
