Self Esteem Therapists in Memphis, TN
You've achieved so much in your public life - degrees from great schools; professional honors; affluent lifestyle, etc. So how has your private life gone so painfully amiss - personal agonies; broken relationships; professional problems?
When their lives become too much to bear alone, I meet my clients with empathy and compassion. As we work with the client's "gift of desperation," I guide clients on a transformational path into deeper healing, freedom and clarity. With my background as a courtroom lawyer, I have proven especially effective for professional people "driven" to achieve high goals.

Healing can happen in many ways—not just through talk, but through creative expression, movement, and exploration. I work with clients ready to engage in a safe, supportive space to process trauma, explore emotions, and express themselves freely. Whether through art, poetry, dance, or improv, my goal is to help you release what your body and mind may still hold and move toward a greater sense of freedom and well-being.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself, family and friends; the world? Has your story become lost in the loudness of “getting it done”? Is it hard for you to make sense of it all?

The clients I work with often face challenges navigating life’s complexities for various reasons. Some may be experiencing grief due to the loss of a loved one, a major life transition, or unmet expectations. Others struggle to process traumatic experiences, finding it difficult to access their emotions and turning to numbing behaviors instead. Many feel overwhelmed by the pressure to meet both external and internal standards. Whatever the obstacle, we approach it together with compassion, non-judgment, and a focus on finding clarity and healing.

The fact that you are seeking to connect with a therapist is a sign that you want to begin the journey of self discovery, healing, and transformation.

With over 15 years of experience in working with adults, adolescents, families and couples, my approach has always been to meet my clients were they are and to progress at a pace that is comfortable for sustained success.

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 believe in the healing and transformational power of therapy. My work of 40+ years with individuals, couples and families has shown that we have the ability to change ourselves, our relationships, our families, and even the world, when we commit to learning and growing. I respect each individual's beliefs without judgment. I have a background in spirituality and offer that as a resource for healing, if wanted and when appropriate. I believe that relationships are challenging and that we can learn skills to improve communication, intimacy, respect and trust with those we love.

I love helping people understand the root of the issue and working to resolve and get healing from the issue.
