Codependency Therapists in Memphis, TN

We meet our clients where they are to identify client-centered goals and move toward an improved quality of life. Client support is provided within a safe, confidential, & creative space. Individual, family, and group therapy options are available.

My ideal client is a person that needs help with regulating their day to day life due to relationship issues, codependency , couples issues, emotion regulation, parenting concerns, issues with the law, weight loss and obesity, and self-esteem concerns. I have worked a lot with victims of abuse in many forms. I enjoy helping others put the pieces of their life together step by step.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that works with adolescents and adults with a variety of issues. I understand that life does not always go exactly as we have hoped and that sometimes we need a little extra support to get it on track. I would love to be the person to support you in achieving your goals for yourself or your family. In my current practice I address difficulties with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, behavior problems, family issues, adjustment difficulties, communication problems, codependency , and parenting.

Life can be difficult and challenging. We are often taught and develop maladaptive ways of coping just to get by. At some point in our life we could benefit from education and guidance on how to make improvements leading to a healthier more fulfilling life. That is the goal in therapy: to foster healing that leads to balance in one’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. This may look different for each client. Some people need to simply be heard, others need to learn and make changes in their present life, and others need to process pain from their past that is still affecting them today.

I enjoy working with individuals who are at a crossroads in life. Whose goal is to move through life’s challenges. My ideal clients are those who are dealing with anxiety, adverse childhood experiences, codependency , communication, depression, life transitions, relationship stress, self-defeating beliefs, stress & traumatic experiences. Who are currently desiring support, balance & peace, but certain blocks have gotten in the way of finding enjoyment in life. Overtime, these blocks have disrupted your state of balance. Calming the nervous system is the foundation for this process. Choosing to invest in yourself is where you begin.

I enjoy working with all age groups. However, I particularly enjoy working with both men and women on their individualized issues. I also enjoy working with teens who are at the experimental stages of Alcohol and Drug issues. I have a Family Therapy background and Outpatient Mental Health, as well as over 15 years of providing EAP Counseling services, which is more Brief/Solution Focus Therapy. I love working with people helping them to reach a healthy emotional and mental state of being!! Let’s work together so that you can be happy and comfortable living in the present moment.

Through a client-centered approach and an integration of the mind-body connection, I have a desire to work with those facing trauma, attachment issues, family of origin issues, anxiety, depression, codependency , and grief. When we're able to tell the truth that life is hard and ask for help, we begin to taste freedom from the bondage of life’s pains. Thank you to all my past, present, and future clients. The hard work of telling the truth and asking for help can be so very hard and you are all some of the most courageous people I know.

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.

Rachel Held Evans wrote that "we live inside an unfinished story." Are you lacking clarity about what you want to do with your life? Did you have a difficult or confusing childhood, and now struggle with connection to others? Did you experience a traumatic event or relationship that has been difficult to overcome on your own? Do you struggle in relationships and wonder why you have the same problems time and time again? Do you have a chronic illness and experience the emotional pain, disappointment, and despair it can bring? If any of this resonates with you, I can help you write the rest of your story.

My ideal client is ready for a change. They are someone who is looking for support with life stress and anxiety, adjusting to a life transition, feeling stuck, or wanting to grow themself. My client's goals might include learning to better manage stress and anxiety, finding their voice or direction, setting boundaries, growing self-worth, or creating new healthy patterns. They might want help with communication in the workplace and at home. They might want to start thriving in life and relationships and start healing from barriers in the past. I am currently receiving training in Somatic Experiencing (traumahealing.org).

I believe the therapeutic relationship is an organic experience that cannot be created elsewhere. My experience has shown me that each of us walks our own path and that no two are the same. Having support while walking your path can be just the thing to make the difference. I strive to provide safety so that you can talk about your life, your family, your pain, and sit in the tension to ultimately begin living more authentically. I work from a holistic approach; given that, we will develop the best course of treatment for your needs, together.

I am here to listen very carefully to your concerns and to collaborate with you in exploring the topics that are important to you - at your pace. I am here to reflect your strengths and struggles and to support you in building a peaceful and healthy life - whatever that looks like for you. I am here to notice, describe, empathize, and hold emotions in a way that helps you. I am a guest here. I welcome, celebrate, and delight in cultivating diversity in my practice with regards to clients' race/ethnicity, sexuality and gender expression, religious background, and disability status.

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.

Life has changed for many of us the last couple of years. Prior to the pandemic perhaps you were navigating personal life struggles, recovery, healing traumas, grieving losses, and transforming your life in positive ways. And then everything stopped everywhere. Nothing seems the same as it once did. Layers of loss and trauma may have occurred to you or to ones that you love. It could feel as, though life will continue in a state of confusion and uncertainty. Perhaps you are in need of connection, gentle guidance and getting back on track. Letting go, restoring and reclaiming? Maybe you would like to live happier and freer.

To the ones who struggle to love themselves because the voice in their head keeps telling them not to. To the adults who carry the scars of a rough childhood and the shame that comes with it. To the ones who seem like they have it all together, but are hiding their struggles with anxiety and depression behind a joke and smile. To the ones who were never taught how to deal with grief, anger, sadness, or fear and are coping the best way they know how. To the ones who were disowned or rejected by families or friends for who you love, who you are, or what you believe. I see your strength, I see your pain, and I see your courage.

Psychotherapy is about a new journey of hope and healing, after years of merely coping with the pains of human life. Through overeating, overdrinking, overworking, sexual secrets, broken relationships, etc., one can survive for years, but these survival methods take a painful toll. So the ideal client is anyone who has had enough of merely medicating the pain and is ready to live more fully! Like many, the therapeutic journey might begin in the badlands of anxiety, depression, martial conflict, business failure, etc. But it leads to a fresh start in a healthier place. And you are worth the journey. Come and start yours today!

You've never really felt like you are enough. Sure, you've been successful in school, at work, and well, at life... for the most part (at least it looks that way to other people). But deep down, it has always felt like there is something missing... something wrong - and you wonder if maybe there's actually just something wrong with you. You push your feelings down. You stretch yourself too thin, work too hard, and just can't say "no." You worry about what other people think of you and hope that you're enough for them. You wish it could stop - that you could feel good enough to have happiness and love and actually feel worthy of it.

Cayce views counseling as a sacred process that involves connection, recovery, and hope. Through her own clinical experience, she recognizes the courage it takes for clients to allow their vulnerability to overpower the paralysis of shame and fear. As Brene Brown once wrote, "You either walk into your story and own your truth, or you live outside of your story, hustling for your worthiness." Cayce's ultimate desire is to provide a safe place for you to come, be heard, and walk through your own story towards healing.

I am passionate about helping people find their true selves that are often hidden under years of rejection, shame, addiction, abuse and neglect. I believe that this self, though limited and weak, is also valuable. I am also passionate about helping mend broken relationships. Marriages are suffering and entering into that suffering, I help couples find connection, empathy, and peace.
