Divorce Therapists in Green Hills, Nashville, TN

Are you struggling with a life transition, perhaps facing a divorce or separation? If you have children, you may be wondering if they are going to be OK, especially if you do not feel like you are OK. Children are impacted emotionally by the same events that impact adults, but they process them differently. I have worked with a variety of clients- ranging from very young children to adults and couples. I have extensive training and experience in trauma - both childhood trauma and adult trauma. I am a certified Trauma therapist (CTT) and am certified in EMDR therapy.

If you are reeling from being blindsided by a betrayal, are wondering "Who am I now?" or how to recover from betrayal and divorce , I'm here to guide you through the healing process.

As your therapist, I will provide a tender and nurturing environment to process persistent worry, depression and general life stress. Fear, anxiety and depression can disrupt the quality of your daily life and seeking professional guidance and support can allow you to move through these stressors and develop both effective coping skills and healthy emotional habits. Life stress doesn't have to be debilitating and long term change is absolutely achievable. I work with individuals, children and families.

My goal is to create a safe environment for people to heal - emotionally, behaviorally and spiritually - so that they can integrate real change in their lives. I enjoy counseling families, couples and individuals of all ages - children, adolescents and adults. My main focus areas are family and marital conflict, rebuilding emotional and spiritual intimacy in relationships, divorce recovery, all kinds of addiction recovery, codependency in relationships,depression, anxiety, grief and loss, premarital counseling, emotional healing from family of origin, communication skills and parenting skills.

Taking care of yourself, your relationships, and your spirit are some the most important things you can do. However, sometimes stress can pile up, relationships get strained, or unexpected losses leave an empty place in life. Sometimes even church can hurt. When these things happen it can get overwhelming resulting in many more questions than answers. It is a privilege for me to walk with people who are experiencing challenges and help them heal from wounds, solve problems and glean some redemptive meaning from the challenges they face.

By curiously hearing and understanding your life story through our professional relationship, I hope to unburden you of your pain and help you remove road blocks which might be keeping you from experiencing greater pleasure.

I'm sensitive to issues of diversity and inclusion, am interested in working with people from various cultural backgrounds, and am a LGBTQ ally.

I have loved being a therapist for 14+ years. It is such joy to make an impact in someone's life. I think that is something my clients would say about me - I want to help them make changes that will aid them in having the life they have always wanted. I am a believer that all we have is the present, sadly can't change the past, but can learn from it to have the future we want. I specialize in anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship problems.

As a CBT and DBT Psychologist, National Speaker, hospital consultant, and clinical supervisor for Vanderbilt University, I have successfully helped veterans, teens, psychologists, physicians, attorneys, students, celebrities, and homemakers feel better and improve their lives. My business, PSYCHē, PLLC is founded upon the belief that going the extra mile makes all the difference. People need real support and real solutions--not just a nod and concerned look.

I work with men and women experiencing anxiety and depression, religious trauma ("church hurt"), grief/loss and those trying to find their way through life transitions such as divorce , job loss or retirement.

As a professional counselor, my goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where a person can acknowledge their current limitations and begin to move forward in positive strides.

It is my belief that many of our current problems come from our earliest relationships, and that these relationships have an enduring impact on our present lives. I work with men and women who are struggling with depression and anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-worth or not-being-good-enough, anger, divorce adjustment, and fear of losing control. I am also active in helping parents learn to be more connected and calm with their children, creating healthy relationships that will impact their children throughout their lives.

Children and adolescents often experience difficulties that affect their lives in dramatic ways. Whether it be a change in the family system, a problem at school, or a bumpy journey through adolescence, growing up can be a very challenging time. As a result, kids often display a change in behavior, appearance, or academic achievement that may be of concern to their parents, teachers, and families. These changes are often a cry for help and can be best treated by individual or family counseling.

I provide treatment for addiction recovery, Bipolar, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship conflict, career, and stress related disorders. I believe all of us have the ability to do our own healing. At points in life, we become stuck and consumed by our issues and challenges.

My overall objective is to provide a safe, nurturing environment for individuals, couples and families to address personal challenges. For those engaging in the therapeutic process, the journey requires courage and commitment to personal growth.

For individuals concerned with spiritual growth, I provide a Christian framework for assessing personal development. My expertise enables me to work effectively with all ages from early childhood through adolescence, young adulthood, middle adulthood and the elderly season.

My clients desire change yet don't always know how to get there. My hope is to walk with you during life's challenges, conflicts in relationships, trauma, addictions, and old deep wounds. I love to see my clients heal and grow in ways they did not think possible. In sessions, clients learn their negative interactional patterns, begin to experience real closeness and intimacy with their significant others. My goal is to help you work through life's messes, discover the beauty of forgiveness, mine the depths of true joy, teach the art of grieving well and to help you discover your most authentic self.

I view therapy as an interactive process leading to the possibility of starting a journey that can guide you through your difficulties, enrich your understanding of yourself, and overcome the things that no longer serve you to cultivate a more grounded and fulfilling life. Centered in honesty and compassion, I will work with you to gain a deeper understanding of working through internal and current difficulties, help nurture your capacity for change, and acquire practical skills to shift the patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior that inhibits your growth and a more positive engagement in life and relationships.
