Substance Use Therapists in Green Hills, Nashville, TN

I love to work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, low self esteem/self compassion, and histories of trauma. I don't believe you need to “find your voice.” Instead, let's teach you how to use your voice so others will listen. I believe in therapy, and its benefits. I want to help you see therapy in a whole new light. Let's get you feeling better and living well.

We all at times feel inadequate, have a loss of direction, identity, and/or authenticity which transitions into a loss of real relationship. Our feelings, anxiety, depression, life losses, medical conditions, and other mental health challenges can knock us off balance. I am here to walk alongside others in finding a healthy path and learning to deal with reality in a positive way. My goal is to equip clients with healthy tools to live their best lives- a life that is true to themselves, that is whole, authentic, and empowering, providing contentment & fulfillment.

Have you or someone you love been impacted by substance use in a negative way? Are you curious about what changes you can make to understand and address Substance Use Disorder? Are you unsure of what to do next or where to begin? I’m Trey, a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor, and I am here to help. The decision to engage in therapy is a difficult and commendable choice. I’m committed to providing a safe and validating atmosphere to honor this sacred journey. My practice is a space for individuals who are in early or ongoing recovery and those that love them.

Imagine yourself taking a deep breath, realizing you’re doing your best at this thing called life, and accepting it as you go out to conquer the day. Getting to that space is no easy task. It takes stress management, emotional intelligence, a relapse prevention plan and other mental health skills to help maintain that healthy lifestyle. When wrestling with trauma, stress, relationship issues, and substance use , our goals sometimes feel like distant dreams. However, with skills from a variety of treatment modalities, I can join you on your journey to emotional stability, mental clarity, and behavioral sustainability.

Since 1997, I have provided counseling services to clients in multiple mental health settings. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. 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. I assist clients uncovering and discovering maladaptive patterns in living and assist clients back onto the path of health and well-being.

My clients are often those struggling with anxiety, self-worth, and life transitions/adjustments. I also have particular specialities and experience with grief, substance addictions or those who are the loved one of a person with addictions, and trauma. When you read the word "trauma" it doesn't have to mean only abuse, car accidents, etc. There are various stressful life experiences that register as trauma, such as divorce, neglect/abandonment, health related issues and diagnoses, miscarriages, and many more. All that is needed from you is a desire to be present in the counseling space. The rest we walk through together.

Do you or someone you love struggle with addiction? My passion is working with individuals and families dealing with drug and alcohol abuse. Feelings of shame, anger, and confusion are common when faced with this illness. You are not alone! For the past 15 years, I have worked with the best addiction professionals in the country, and bring their collective knowledge and compassion to each individual that I work with. Every client is different, and what works for one person, may not work for another. Together, we can find a solution so you can reclaim your life and your purpose.

Feeling disconnected, isolated, lonely, or anxious? Does the fear of being judged, rejected, embarrassed make it hard to engage in ways you really want to? Counseling can help you. Are you having trouble navigating a transition such as graduation, a breakup, a new school, or a move to a new city. You might be trying to figure out how to face feelings you haven't been taught to handle. Maybe things like anxiety, addictions, and issues from our past get in the way of you feeling the most connected and significant. Counseling can help you bravely face those obstacles to help you live feeling more known and connected.

I am passionate about helping people overcome, heal, and succeed. With 20+ years of experience I have helped many clients to uncover their true self, overcome significant obstacles, and live a meaningful life consistent with their values and goals. I tailor my therapy by using the most effective approach to fit the individual/circumstances. I can help you develop tools for handling situations, emotions, and relationships effectively. I believe in helping people live a balanced life where they create balance mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. The result? Greater clarity, serenity, joy, purpose, and a better relationship with self and others.

Many obstacles can interfere with living life to its fullest, but they don't have to. Creating a focused plan and sticking with it can be life changing, and at times deeper issues are at play. In my practice I work with high performing individuals such as Athletes, Entertainers and Public Figures, as well as their families. Having competed and worked in the Sport and Entertainment Industries for more than twenty years, I've developed a unique approach incorporating performance psychology, positive mental health and mindfulness to consistently help clients around the world meet and exceed their goals.

Hi! I’m Elizabeth and am so glad you are here looking for a safe space to heal and process life. I support adults and adolescents (16+) navigating anxiety, depression, grief, behavioral issues, and trauma recovery.

Do you feel like you have tried other methods of healing or therapy to no avail? Are you a young adult, mom, or a woman dealing with trauma, pregnancy, infertility, or difficult life transitions? Do you feel like your past has shaped certain aspects of you that you don’t want to continue to carry forward anymore? I encourage you to reach out, and explore through a free consultation how EMDR, hypnotherapy, and other somatic interventions may help to release you from old patterns no longer serving you.

Understanding what life means to you can be one of the hardest questions to understand. Are you someone seeking emotional relief on a daily basis in ways you wish you didn't? Do you get triggered by people and find yourself more upset then you should be? Are you someone who finds it hard to separate from your job when you are not supposed to be working? Do you actually know what makes you happy? These are just a few, simple examples of what we can explore together. No matter where you are in life, you can live intentionally and fully.

I was raised in the diverse melting pot of NYC as a first-generation Chinese American, born to parents who emigrated from Hong Kong. After college, I moved to Nashville, where I had the wonderful privilege of traveling the world as a musician. These experiences afforded me the unique opportunity to hear thousands of people’s stories—from depression, suicide, grief, and addiction to hope found amidst it all. Through these stories, as well as my own, I came to realize the powerful gift of therapy and the difference that occurs when one comes to understand their intrinsic worth and their capacity to be seen, heard, known, and loved.
