Couples Counseling Therapists in Monteagle, TN

My primary work today is with those individuals struggling to achieve the best version of themselves. A variety of factors are at play here from past trauma, difficulty connecting, tragic life events, self sabotaging or self destructive coping skills, among others that get in our own way. I offer a place for the individual to explore past patterns and create a new narrative for a new future.​

You find yourself in a reoccurring pattern that you don't know how to break- You do SO much for others, understanding the importance of caring for yourself too, yet you find that it's difficult to trust them with the "too-much-ness"/ "intense emotion" that you've been accused of possessing. You're left to carry it on your own, not wanting to burden others with your struggles. You wish you could shut off that nagging, critical voice in your head & all the self-doubt that comes with it. Maybe, at times, you feel as if the tug-of-war of thoughts & emotions is too messy & overwhelming to touch. You think, "Maybe 'they' were right."...

I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues that include depression and grief counseling to parenting support, couples counseling and beyond. I specialize in helping individuals overcome the challenges that occur on a daily basis. I have found that everyday stress can become overwhelming and can result in self-destructive behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. I offer support and assistance in searching for ways to achieve growth in your personal life and relationships. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs to help attain the personal growth they're striving for.

I love working with families, couples and individuals (both teens and adults). I have a huge heart for working with teens and young adults and helping them have a more cohesive relationship with their family or at least repairing damage from their childhood. I can help couples rekindle their intimacy and learn good communication and boundaries. I've dealt with many issues like anger, anxiety, OCD, depression, family dynamics, trauma and so much more.

Are you feeling hurt, confused and/or disconnected from yourself and your loved one(s)? It is my goal to inspire and empower each individual, couple or family member to find healing, reconnect within themselves and with others. I provide individuals and couples with coping skills, anger management, and communication tools that can be applied in every day life. If you have suffered any past trauma, together we can integrate trauma therapy to help you process safely and at your own pace. At the time of your termination from therapy, it is my desire that your life has been touched, you feel changed, motivated and securely connected.

I have worked with individuals and couples for over forty years, helping them to capitalize on their strengths rather than focusing on their problems. I see my role as a co-participant with clients in the therapy process. I seek to enable individuals and couples to develop their inner resources with understanding and caring support. In such a setting, my clients gain the strength and freedom to solve or manage their problems in creative ways.

Hi, I’m Emily Guest! I’m a middle Tennessee native passionate about helping others. My background is in youth ministry and child care. I studied Social and Behavioral Sciences, Religious Studies, and Marriage and Family Therapy in undergrad and grad school. My practice has been focused on helping women and girls work through grief, anxiety, depression, adjustment to family changes such as divorce and loss, and many other struggles and challenges that life might be presenting. I work through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Greif Counseling lens and implement this knowledge in ways that are best for each individual client.

My passion as a counselor is two-fold: to walk alongside couples who feel emotionally distant and distressed in their relationships on the path toward connection and healing, and to journey with women who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, conflict resolution, and other relational issues.

My hope is to meet with clients of all ages who find themselves scrambling for health and wholeness and whatever that means to them. I believe there is immense power in feeling safe and known and that our wounds and victories both impact our thought processes, relationships, emotions, and behaviors. In life transitions, relational difficulties, and personal struggles, I aim to be an agent of hope and compassion that moves clients towards greater awareness and confidence, and away from self-defeating processes of shame and feelings of unworthiness. As a result, the health of body, mind, soul, and relationships improves.

I am interested in working with individuals who are neurodivergent, individuals/ couples + in “alternative” relationship structures (LGBTQIA+, ENM/CNM, polyam, open, swinging, etc.), those who have experienced trauma, struggle with depression or anxiety, are hoping to do some self-exploration (sexual, gender, career, religious, etc.), or are looking for a change. Because every person is unique, your needs and desires will also be unique. I approach my work through a trauma-informed lens, using evidence-based practices that find a balance between thinking and feeling and emphasize the importance of connection, experience, and safety.

I strive to aid individuals, couples , and families from all walks of life who struggle with a variety of issues including mental health disorders, relationship/family conflict, grief, trauma, and life transitions/stressors. I have a huge heart for all people and specialize in adolescent, young adult, and couples therapy. In addition, I utilize my background in treatment foster care to help children process, cope with, and heal from grief and trauma.

Sometimes the hard things in life can make you feel disconnected from yourself or your partner . You might be experiencing overwhelming emotions. Maybe you feel stuck, afraid, or confused. You want to find a way to move forward with your story and feel joy again. Therapy is a messy— but hopeful— journey of discovering what’s truly beneath the surface.
