You may find yourself in a cycle of control trying to fix things on your own, only for more problems to come up. I would love to help you find what you are looking for and more!

Kristen Bishop - Austin & Olive Counseling
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
1 Endorsed
Nashville, TN 37203
My primary therapeutic focuses are: relational conflict and/or communication issues, codependency, those who have a loved one with mental illness or addiction, children (adult or teen) of divorce, life transition, grief, and premarital therapy.
Through my own life experiences, my subsequent personal healing journey and an education in sociology and counseling, I am grateful that I get to call what I do "work." As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I primarily look at issues through a relational scope and find family-of-origin work to be extremely relevant with all of my clients.

I work well with identifying and healing codependency patterns within the system.
I love working with clients that are actively on the path of healing. I have extensive experience working with addiction (both process and substance) and trauma and welcome sober and newly sober people to step in to a process with me. I am an 'out of the box' therapist and work best with those that are open to doing their therapeutic work 'beyond the talking'. In addition to recovery I love to help people identify ways in which to be more fully who they know inside that they are - even if they don't have the fully formed picture of what that is yet!

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating codependency, trauma, relational conflict, and identity exploration.
My integrated approach to therapy helps clients find their intrinsic strengths to tackle their current struggles. This framework includes evidence-based strategies from the following models: Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Restoration therapies.

If we can speak our truth and feel our feelings, we can surrender our codependency and become our true selves.
If you’re anything like me, and I suspect you are, you’re searching for “the real." I spent 20 years in the unhealthy trenches of the music and restaurant industries, searching. I’m a human, and so are you. Maybe things that once worked for you just aren’t working anymore. I’ve been there. As complicated as things get, it’s actually pretty simple. We're born, and we need to feel safe. But reality is imperfect, and we don't feel safe! We have healthy needs that don't get met. We learn to submerge our feelings and control other people. But that doesn't work. It gets heavy. So here's what I can offer you:

I work with individuals who wish to explore and overcome the challenges of being in stressful or challenging situations, or issues involving intimate relationships, parenting, divorce, recovery, or codependency.
If you are like me, relationships are most important to you. Do you ever ask yourself why relationships are so hard? Why do we hurt the ones closest to us? I have developed an understanding and skillset that my clients can use to create lives and relationships they are proud of. I have specialized training as a sex therapist and family mediator; plus I utilize NVC, a powerful framework, to bring skillful communication techniques into my practice. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort and there is always hope for improvement. Do you just need a push or a listening ear to get the results you and your loved ones long for.

I provide support for people pleasers and perfectionists, I work with addiction and 12 Step recovery, and with those struggling with codependency and disruptive relationship patterns.
I am passionate and committed to helping my clients wake up to their true self that has always been there, but might be buried beneath layers of hurt, loss, trauma, grief, and learned patterns of behavior. Through my own journey of growth and healing, I want you to experience the same thing, discovering your sense of worth and value. My goal is to create a safe place where we can explore, seek answers, and address struggles and challenges you are facing. We will grapple with what to hold on to and what to unlearn or discard, and help you develop a relationship with yourself that feels good, grounded, and meaningful.

Much of my clinical work focuses on clients navigating codependency, attachment trauma, childhood abuse/neglect, spiritual abuse, anxious/avoidant attachment, and self-exploration.
My specialty is working with adults with complex trauma and attachment wounds that come from growing up in families where addiction/alcoholism or emotional immaturity is present. For clients who have complex trauma histories, often talk therapy isn’t enough to fully heal from the past and feel safe in the present. Modalities like EDMR, somatic focused interventions, and IFS (parts work) help my clients understand the amazing ways they adapted to survive these harsh emotional environments, and embody more authentic versions of themselves in their current lives.

I have extensive experience working with trauma, depression, anxiety, obsessive thinking, codependency and self-esteem issues.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or recently gone through a significant hardship, I'm here to support you. I love working with individuals that are driven to create meaningful change and willing to learn how to form new more adaptive ways of thinking. We certainly don't need to stay 'stuck' in old patterns or feelings of complacency-yet we find ourselves accepting it as our norm all the time, allowing it to rob us of our joy. There are practical tools that we can learn to change these unhelpful patterns of thinking, and I'm passionate about helping others to learn the tools to feel happier overall.

I have experience working in a variety of treatment settings, including community mental health, school counseling, outpatient, and inpatient adolescent treatment. In all of these settings, my focus has always been helping my clients learn from and grow within the influential family systems they are part of.

I am passionate about helping others through depression, anxiety, perfectionism, codependency, relationship issues, OCD, boundary setting and sexual assault.
MAFT Student Intern. I believe everyone possesses a core self. Many times, we look up and realize we are not sure who we are, or how we lost our way.

Codependency Therapists
What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
