Therapists in Music Row, Nashville, TN

I am the owner of Zephyr Care Mental Health and provide testing for children, teens, and adults for ADHD, autism, and mental health concerns. I am able to see clients in most states via telehealth. Zephyr Care specializes in neurodiversity-affirming testing. Please note that all prices are listed on the website under "learn more about prices."

My approach to psychological healing is integrative, mixing psychodynamic, mind/body, transpersonal, mindfulness, and CBT approaches to psychotherapy. My philosophy of therapy stresses respect for the client and the client’s experience. Therapy often involves the exploration of family of origin issues and the impact of old conditioning on current functioning. I also emphasize the importance of developing existing personal strengths and resources. I often use a personality system called the Enneagram to clarify client strengths and issues. I have expertise in mindfulness. See my website, www.musiccitytherapy.com.

Something's been brewing for a while now, but there's always been more pressing *stuff* that needs your attention and plenty of distractions to keep you occupied. But lately those obligations and distractions aren't enough and you're stuck with those thoughts that won't go away, and that nagging feeling in your stomach that can no longer be ignored. You like to feel in control and capable--able to handle things on your own, but these are uncharted waters and there's no map in sight. What's more is that things that may never have been issues before are all of a sudden becoming problems you didn't know you had.

Choosing a psychotherapist is a very important decision. Talking to someone new about yourself can be intimidating. I provide a setting that is comfortable, safe, and completely confidential. I ask what brings you to see me and what kind of help you feel you need. Sometimes it can be helpful to interview other professionals. Finding a good match is essential and my interest is always in what is best for the client. I do my best to make treatment recommendations and provide services most likely to help you.

Welcome! I am with a small practice on music row. We have a cozy office with plenty of plants, candles, and pillows. I enjoy working with clients who struggle with disordered eating patterns, body image issues, anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I see both adolescents and adults throughout their journey of life, which I think is always better when you have a compassionate therapist at your side. We will do the hard stuff but also have a lot of laughs along the way.

Each one of us experiences psychological challenges in life that we try to meet using whatever strategies we know. However, sometimes the challenges become too great and our coping strategies stop working. This can be compounded by the fact that we often internalize messages from our society, however well-intentioned, that limit our abilities to understand ourselves and our world. It is in these moments that we can use support from therapists to turn down the noise of the world so that we may find our own inner wisdom about who we are, what we need, and ultimately how to heal.

If you're an adult overwhelmed by racial issues, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, or depression, know you're not alone. I'm here to help you heal, reclaim your life, and thrive. I understand that navigating these challenges can be incredibly difficult and that they can leave deep emotional scars. I offer a safe and compassionate space where you can fully explore your experiences and emotions without judgment. As a therapist working with individuals facing these issues, I deeply understand how these challenges can manifest and uniquely impact your life, and I recognize the interconnectedness between them.

It's okay to be a unsure what you need out of therapy. It's ok to recognize that things aren't going well but can't exactly figure out why or how to change this. Questions and curiosity about the way we operate in our lives is wonderful starting place! It is okay if you've been to therapy before but still feel stuck. We are each full of endless potential.

**EVENING APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE** I enjoy working with individuals, marriages, and couples who have the courage to enter the heartache of their past or current struggles, and creatively collaborate to find new ways to thrive and live and love more fully. I have experience with anxiety, depression, anger, grief, marital dissastifaction, OCD, and divorce. 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.

Looking to improve your sport/mental performance? Better understand your gender, sexuality, or relationship identity? Process a history of interpersonal trauma? Our stories are our greatest power, and yet, can be difficult to share with others. In therapy, I encourage clients to tell their stories as accurately and meaningfully as possible (including the "ugly" stuff!) to pave a path for moving forward. I equally recognize that not all mental health concerns are individually determined, and encourage clients to explore the impact of their social, intergenerational, and environmental histories and resources to promote healing/growth.

As a mental health therapist, I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. My background includes outpatient private practice and inaptient psychiatric care at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

A trauma therapist, certified in EMDR and EAGALA equine therapy. Horses are metaphors for the human experience and how each individual interprets the herd explains how they see themselves in the human constellation Approaching horses helps us reflect how we approach our relationships and how we can face other big or overwhelming things in our lives. Since the solutions are personally experienced in conjunction with intellectual understanding, they tend to be deeper, more profound, and longer lasting. I walk with my clients through the trauma and to the other side of healing.

Each client possesses their own unique life experiences. These experiences may be valuable teachers, but experiencing emotional distress may also manifest into feelings of helplessness and frustration. Counseling is a collaboration and we will work together to bring you to a place of healing and peace. Life presents us with opportunities to choose new paths and create new visions and goals. In addition to being a psychologist, I am a certified life coach, certified health and wellness coach, and certified forest therapy guide. Whether you are seeking to address a personal issue or aspiring to achieve a goal, I'm here to help you.

Trent Hughes, Ph.D. is a clinically trained psychotherapist, speaker, and teacher. "In our individual work, the central focus to learn self is the beginning to identify internal resources for personal growth and development. Our work emphasizes the true nature of self and how our mind has the powerful ability to see and create a new way of being." Through a focus on wellness, Dr. Hughes places emphasis on resources and identifying strengths which primarily reside within the individual, as well as developing skills needed to enhance satisfaction with life.

Whether you are looking to get sober, stay sober, work on healthy relationships and healthy communication styles or past traumas, I am here to help you reach your therapeutic goals. I believe in therapy and I believe that if you stick with it you will see significant changes in your life.

My favorite all-time bumper sticker: Don't Believe Everything You Think! Obviously, everyone has problems in life, but both sages and scientists have discovered that how we think about our problems is a crucial variable in whether we grow through difficulties (past or present), or get mired in difficult emotions and unhelpful behavior patterns. While we all have unique histories and personalities, what leads to healing and change generally applies to all of us. But more than ever, we are living on "autopilot," and just trying to keep up. All the while, our busy minds provide a running commentary, often full of fear and criticism.
