Female Therapists in Nashville, TN

My passion as a counselor is two-fold: to walk alongside couples who feel emotionally distant and distressed in their relationships on the path toward connection and healing, and to journey with women who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, conflict resolution, and other relational issues.

My heart is in supporting and empowering women of all ages while walking with them through life’s challenges and struggles. It is an incredible privilege to be trusted with your story as we journey through some of the most difficult parts of life together. My hope is to create a safe space for vulnerability, while allowing you to explore and utilize your own strengths and identity.

I help women and girls unlock their true potential in therapy by providing a space that is filled with empathy, authenticity, and inspiration. My holistic approach to therapy is hands-on and client-centered, as each woman 's story is unique. I believe that one of the first and most powerful steps in therapy is simply developing an innate sense of self awareness around your thoughts, emotions, and story while learning to make meaning from past experiences. Providing a relatable and modern approach to therapy is one of my main goals as I help you learn to break free from negative patterns that keep getting you stuck.

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.

I love helping clients make sense of their hidden stories and experiences. Often, these create chaos, make us unsure, and throw us off balance. I believe that everyone needs a comfortable place to rediscover balance and wholeness through unraveling their stories. While I see a variety of clients, I love pre-marital therapy, married couples struggling with intimacy, as well as singles and women who have experienced sexual trauma. I also have experience with Homeschool culture and the struggles and wins of the music industry. I offer flexible office hours including Saturdays.

I work well with men and women who want to better identify patterns that do not serve them and increase mood stability, self-curiosity, and healthy relationships. My treatment philosophy incorporates an egalitarian, collaborative approach steeped in Relational-Cultural Theory; with the core belief that clients are the experts on themselves.

I love working with clients that are dealing with challenges, and assist them in gaining the tools they need to increase their ability to live a sustainable life. Growing up in an area filled with poverty, I developed a personal understanding of what it’s like to go without due to lack of basic needs. As a Black woman , I have also seen a lot of racial injustice as well as the impact of unaddressed mental health challenges due to limited resources and access to care. As a result of my lived experiences, I refuse to remain silent and I have a desire to support those who are normally looked over and forgotten about.

** Now offering convenient weekend hours** As a therapist, I believe that compassion, understanding, and trust are important in the therapist-client relationship.

Through an integrative strengths based approach, I help my clients to achieve their goals in a healthy and meaningful way.

I believe therapy works best and is most successful when there is a willingness to risk being vulnerable with a safe other. If you are someone who is motivated to learn more about themselves and take active steps to change this might be the right fit for you. My focus area and experience is working with women and both premarital and established couples. I offer deeper internal work through both IFS and Brainspotting. The client who will benefit best from the way I do therapy are those who are naturally self-reflective and those who find value in metaphor and symbolic language.

I am focused on addressing the impact of primary an secondary trauma in black communities, so that those in need of support know they are not alone.

One of the most difficult questions to answer is often the simplest one: What do you want? We often fixate on the needs and desires of others, losing touch with our own. I believe your desires are powerful beyond belief. They make you unique and hold the key that unlock freedom and opportunity. As we discover them, we can heal blocks, often past trauma, that hold us back, in order to create something new. I'd love to partner with you and explore where you've been and want to go. Together, we will co-create a beautiful path forward and write a compelling next chapter where you play the Hero.

As a plus size, mixed woman , "fitting in" is something I struggled with for years. I battled to figure out who I am and where I fit in this world. Turns out, I was born to stand out. This fuels my passion for working with individuals from marginalized communities. If you struggle with anxiety or depression, need a space to process grief and loss, are struggling with PTSD, want to improve your self esteem, or simply have a longing to uncover your true self and sense of belonging, I would love to work with you.

Navigating through life is tough. Overcoming life's challenges alone is that much more difficult. I aim to provide a supportive, collaborative environment to walk alongside you through emotional healing, personal growth, or any life transition. No matter where you are on your journey, you deserve the reminder that it's okay to not be okay and that wellness is possible. My practice focuses on women and teen girls working through depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem/identity concerns. I provide a safe space for authenticity & welcome all cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, and spiritualities

Listen, taking care of people is a beautiful and amazing thing which can fill your reserves. As a woman , you're expected to just accept that fate regardless of how much energy it takes to achieve. When you find yourself caring for your parents along with your own family, everything starts to feel incredibly heavy and exhausting like you’re trudging through mud. It is grueling and unpredictable. However, you can feel better without white knuckling throughout the day and feeling guilty about not doing "enough." You can find fulfillment again while managing those feelings of guilt and sense of duty.

I work mostly with individuals who consider themselves high achievers, including many athletes, entrepreneurs and those who work in the music industry. People who come to see me often say that their life looks great on paper but something is missing internally. They want to work on relationships - romantic or familial - anxiety/depression, or maybe their relationship with a behavior that's not working for them anymore - alcohol, marijuana, food, sex, etc. I help people gain clarity and take action toward creating the change they want in their life. Often the person's career is explored in addition to their personal life.

Casey Dycus is an experienced counselor that is committed to helping teenage girls, women , marriages, and families regain a sense of balance, holistic living, and stability for their daily lives. She specializes in helping those that need help to work through their traumas, depression, and anxiety. When people get stuck in their lower functioning emotions and are in survival mode it is often hard to get out of that place and find meaning and joy in life. The process is to recognize patterns that keep one stuck in harder places and make goals to connect and heal so that higher emotions and behaviors can be achieved.
