Teletherapy for Murfreesboro, TN

I am a level II licensed alcohol and drug abuse counselor and certified anxiety- informed Professional. I offer a variety of video counseling services to include alcohol & drug assessment, substance abuse counseling, and a unique approach for managing anxiety. Working closely with physicians who prescribe Suboxone, we provide one of TN's premier outpatient options for opiate addiction. Substance abuse and unhealthy anxiety are confusing and complex conditions. I know this from personal experience. I have been there. However, recovery and emotional well-being are achievable and sustainable. Learn more at www.recoveryconsult.com

In 2012, Tom left the inpatient addiction treatment center he had counseled at for 18 years, to focus his attention on outpatient counseling. His desire was to help manage the opiate epidemic that was sweeping middle TN. From 2012 until now he has worked closely with doctors that prescribe Suboxone medications and facilitated over 9 thousand counseling sessions. He has authored the books “Clinician’s Guide for Medication Assisted Treatment and the accompanying patient workbook. In 2014, he added the video counseling practice and in 2020, took telehealth to the next level with an interactive patient website.

Each client brings their individual stories into the room. By the time we seek help, life has typically not been going as we expected. In the middle of addiction, our lives became unmanageable and we were in need of help. We want to find a way out, but are unsure how to do so. What we need is someone to help us be a guide through to recovery. This is a life-long change that will need continued support. Not only is this our battle, but the battle of those around us.

Are you overwhelmed and feel like your life is out of control? Do you often put others' needs before your own? Are your kids struggling as well? Well, I would like to partner with you to help you gain balance in your life. Together we can unpack the barriers and habits that keep you stuck. My clients discover an approach to treatment that is structured and researched-oriented. However, they are excited to have a therapist that looks at each person individually, uniquely identifying their strengths, and use those strengths to improve their mental health.

My desire is to offer hope and healing for you and your relationships by honoring your story, helping you discover places you are stuck, and walking along side you in your journey to healing. I see individuals, couples, and families, providing a safe place to explore hurt and pain on your path to wholeness and peace. I am trained in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and implement attachment-based therapy in my practice. Serving as a nurse for 30 years allowed me to sit with people through some of their darkest moments, while providing encouragement and hope.

My favorite part of what I do is getting to hear other people’s stories and how they came to be at the place that they are right now. All of us, including myself, have been through times when we’re hurting and we don’t know what direction to go. I often say, “The thing that is worse than hurting is hurting alone.” One of the biggest benefits of counseling is connection. I believe connection is more healing than any pill, program, or self-help book. That’s why I take being invited into my clients’ stories very seriously. It’s an honor to get to walk alongside folks as they decide to get to the hard work of making changes and healing.

Sometimes life feels hopeless. We get trapped in cycles of depression, leading us to numb our pain in unhealthy ways. It can be hard to see a way out. But if a decade of experience working in the field of recovery and a Gottman Level 2 Certification has taught us anything, it’s that transformation is possible. There IS hope. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Tony has worked with thousands of people just like you, compassionately helping them identify what’s at the heart of their issues.

I do not believe it is an accident that you are here right now. I do not believe it is a coincidence either. My journey has led me to this place at this point in time. My journey has included thousands of clinical hours helping people all over the world overcome real life battles. I have learned something new from every person that I have met and I will share what I know for sure. I know that you face difficult challenges every day. I know that you feel that there is no place in this world where you actually fit.

I work with women ages 16+ on topics regarding anxiety, depression, pregnancy & postpartum, trauma, motherhood, faith, identity, and adjusting to life changes. I became a counselor because I know what it's like to need someone to not only listen, but truly be invested in what it is they're listening to. I strive to offer a judgment-free space to come as you are and to greet you with authenticity and compassion in the messiness of life.

Whether you are facing small problems, or very big ones; whether you are generally confident, or feel that no one cares or could understand your pain, I’m here. And I’ve been there. I worked for years to overcome challenging life issues and situations before studying to become a Professional Clinical Mental Health Counselor, so that I would be qualified to help others do the same. I believe strongly that a better life is out there if you can be courageous enough to try new behaviors, challenge old ways of thinking, and sometimes tolerate uncomfortable emotions. Therapy is not always easy, but it is rewarding, and you're not alone.

Hi, I’m Dakota. I’m passionate about helping adults and adolescents heal from the pain of their past and grow into lives that bring them joy and fulfillment.

Therapy for Neurodivergence: Autistic, ADHDer, Highly Sensitive Person, and/or trauma survivor. You’re tired of trying to hold it all together. You struggle to sort through, understand, and cope with your emotions. Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm are constant. It’s hard to express yourself and be understood. It’s exhausting living in an overstimulating world and trying to fit into the norm. You keep searching for the answer to the question, "what's wrong with me?" or "how do I fix this?" Hurts and wounds have built through your life and you're tired of being in pain. It's time to be understood, heal past pain, and feel better.

After pastoring for 7 yrs and working on the mission field for 5 yrs, I found myself in a mental and spiritual crisis confounded by a crippling addiction. By God’s Grace, through wise counselors and taking healthy steps, I found healing. My calling now is to walk together with those who seek freedom, faith, and hope that can be found in Jesus and his blue print for the abundant life. My passion is to help others remove obstacles that keep them from living the abundant life.

You have been working so hard, and it feels like life is a mess. You need a change. Decisions, transitions, expectations, and relationships feel like too much. You may not know what to do or who to trust.

Accepting New Clients - If you are in need of someone to help you sort out all the things you are facing, I'd love to be that person for you. Life is hard and you shouldn't have to do it alone. If you are facing a tough diagnosis (for yourself or someone you love), a recent miscarriage, an abusive relationship, or even just a difficult adjustment to something new (like divorce or an empty nest) come sit with me and let's talk. My counseling style is friendly and informal. My office is a feet-on-the-furniture, wrap-up-in-a-blanket kind of place where we'll work together to face the hard stuff.

If you are like many of my clients, you are a college student that works hard. But like them, you wonder what is wrong with you. You are worried all the time. You have had some panic attacks. You can't stop beating yourself up. You are overwhelmed and stressed out. You want good grades and good relationships. But you feel like you are constantly disappointing everyone. You want to stop feeling overwhelmed and stop saying to yourself "I need to get my act together". My clients experience anxiety and they contact me because they want to stop feeling like a failure and worrying all the time.

Life is filled with difficult transitions . Allow me to work with you to overcome any obstacles holding you back. Often times, we believe we need to make huge changes or sacrifices in order to move forward. You can create simple changes very impactful to your immediate quality of life.
