Couples Counseling Therapists in Hillsboro West End, Nashville, TN

I believe that therapy is a unique opportunity to have a safe and empathic place to share one's story. It is a privilege for me to journey alongside others as they discover who they are in the midst of that story. I approach therapy in an eclectic manner, and have experience in a variety of therapeutic issues. I work with both individuals and couples interested in seeking treatment for depression, anxiety, relational distress, conflict resolution, and personal growth.

It is my dream and honor to help clients who feel stuck in some way in their lives and relationships work towards health, wholeness, and growth. This "stuck" feeling may show up in many different areas in life, such as relational disconnection and conflict, recurring family-of-origin issues, struggles with anxiety and depression, or generally feeling like you're at a crossroads. I firmly believe that relational wounds can only heal in relationship . Therefore, I am dedicated to creating and fostering the safe and secure therapeutic space needed for my clients to begin the hard work of looking deeper and working towards health.

**I am currently accepting new clients for in-person or virtual therapy, as well as Saturday appointments to accommodate your schedule. Please call to discuss your goals for therapy. I enjoy working with individuals and couples to improve their relationship challenges. If you are struggling with your marriage, blending a step-family, infidelity, a divorce or any other family issue, I can help. Let's work together to develop a plan that will improve all areas of your life and your relationships. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

We all have an innate capacity to create a sense of well-being. Yet, the demands of our lives---difficult relationships, losses, disappointments, transitions---can cause feelings of helplessness or even despair. Vitality falls way to depression or anxiety or addictive behaviors. Therapy can be useful to better understand and manage the complexities of your life; to reclaim some vitality; to love, work, and play in ways that are more congruent with who you strive to be. With twenty five years of experience, I offer seasoned and compasssionate guidance as you define your specific goals and work toward inhabiting a truer version of yourself.

As a therapist, I work with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or looking to make some sort of change (in life, relationships, unhealthy habits or behaviors, etc.). I work primarily from a relational-cultural approach, which means that my focus is on the therapeutic relationship , authenticity, and perhaps most importantly, collaboration. Content related to the past, present, and future are each considered to be sources of valuable information, as are thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I value creativity and a sense of humor in my work with clients; your experience is yours alone and as such, your treatment will be individually tailored to your needs.

The decision to begin therapy is one that requires courage and a desire to improve one’s life. As we navigate a series of crises unlike anything we have experienced in our lifetime, therapy has become even more important as a source of support for the challenges we confront. Having a trusted helper can make a significant difference in our lives. No matter what you are going through, I have years of experience helping people cultivate more fulfilling lives. Additionally, it is my purpose to be an ally to and a safe space for the disenfranchised in the Queer, Black, Latinx, Asian, immigrant, Jewish, Muslim, and atheist communities.

I provide individualized support tailored to my clients' unique stories. I use expressive arts therapy and dance/movement therapy techniques in addition to client-centered talk therapy to engage with clients as we process in both the verbal and non-verbal realms. The body and mind are interconnected and the body can be used as a map guiding explorations of the self, as well as a metaphor to express emotions which can be difficult to convey in words alone. Through a therapeutic relationship , I provide empathic support and playful intervention.

If you have experienced complex trauma, generational trauma, secondary trauma, medical trauma, religious trauma, or narcissistic abuse, you may have struggled to gain the support that you deserve due to the fact that there are still many types of trauma that are under-recognized. I have a passion for using creativity, authentic connection, and even evidence based research on the ways that trauma and chronic stress impact the brain, to individualize therapy for your unique strengths and goals. My commitment to individualizing care also includes neurodiversity training and experience working with those on the autism spectrum.

Hello! My name is Juliana and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Nashville, TN, where I offer individual, couples , and family therapy.

Hello, I’m Alyssa. I believe that we are each on a journey through life, and that this journey includes both beauty and brokenness. That brokenness can lead to things such as unhelpful thought patterns, mood changes, and relationship stress. In our therapy work together, I intend to validate your experiences, meet you where you are, and help you change ways of thinking and behaving that are keeping you stuck and preventing you from living the full, authentic life you hope for. My areas of special interest include anxiety, depression, relational stress/conflict, life transitions, perfectionism, codependence, grief, and trauma.

"Do you see me? Do you hear me? Does what I say mean anything to you?" This is something Oprah Winfrey believes every person wants to know, and I couldn't agree more. I am so glad you're here. Reaching out for support can be hard sometimes. Being vulnerable enough to show up for ourselves and allow another person to witness that is a courageous thing. Whether you're here because someone suggested you try therapy, you've been in therapy for decades or you're somewhere in between, I'm ready to listen. And not only am I here to listen, I'm here to support and challenge you to do that hard thing or even finally face that fear.

I am passionate about seeing lives and relationships restored. I recognize the courage it takes to come to therapy and believe that transformation happens in the context of relationships when people feel heard and understood. My hope is to invite clients into a safe space where we have the opportunity to honestly confront painful and uncomfortable issues.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing individual and family psychotherapy across the lifespan. I treat presenting concerns such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), tics, depression, adjustment issues, emotion dysregulation, social difficulties, and disruptive behavior. My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based techniques, namely Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I completed my doctoral education and training at Vanderbilt University.

Wholeness is far more beautiful than perfection. Wholeness includes all of your emotions, anxieties, triumphs & trials, your past & your hopes for the future. Together we will seek progress, not perfection. I recognize the courage it takes to come to therapy; I want to hear your story & help you create a new narrative. Clinical interests include marital and pre-marital, couple conflict, general relationship issues, life transitions, self-esteem and worth, women's issues, grief, and anxiety. I am Level 1 trained in the Gottman Method, an evidence based practice for couple's therapy, as well as Prepare-Enrich.

We are meant to live in relational wholeness. The therapist-client relationship is based on trust. In a warm and welcoming environment – free of judgement – you will have the opportunity to be fully seen and heard, safe to share your struggles. This is an invitation to simply show up and sit amidst kindness and gentleness, to uncover, identify, and process what lies beneath the heart’s pain.
