Gottman Method Therapists in Nashville, TN
I invite you to bring your unabashed true self to the therapy room by fostering humor, curiosity and compassion. I look beyond “presenting problems” and symptoms to intimate relationships and how the greater context of your world impacts functioning and well-being.
For the past two decades, I have integrated ritual, mindfulness, and somatic movement into my professional life. I embrace a humanistic and holistic approach, focusing on enhancing self-compassion, improving communication, and fostering congruence within clients and their relationships. I am also trained in Gottman (couples) and EMDR (trauma).

I work with adult individuals and couples who are high-functioning but emotionally overwhelmed. Many are high achievers, codependent, or emotionally immature, and find themselves stuck in anxiety-driven or unbalanced relationship patterns. They suppress needs, manage others’ emotions, and say "I'm fine"—until resentment, anger, or shutdown takes over. My approach is past-aware, present-focused, and skill-based. Together, we interrupt patterns, regulate the nervous system, and turn insight into real-life change—especially in relationships. If your brain feels loud and tired of spiraling, snapping, or overgiving, this work is for you!

You’ve been holding everything together—caring for family, managing work, meeting expectations—while quietly feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained. Somewhere along the way, you started putting yourself last. You may be longing for balance, relief, and a way to feel like yourself again. Reaching out now isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s the moment your journey shifts from simply surviving to reclaiming your well-being.

My name is Elaina. As a neurodiverse, bicultural, Hispanic therapist, my lived experience shapes how I sit with others.
I work with people carrying complex trauma, often layered with autism, ADHD, LGBTQ+ identities, and cultural complexity. Many are overwhelmed and tired of explaining themselves or constantly scanning for safety. They often wonder, “Why is everything harder for me?” and carry a quiet uncertainty about where they truly belong.
I work with individuals and couples, especially those navigating neurodiversity and cultural differences in relationships. I translate between minds to build practical, creative solutions.

Each of us navigates our unique set of experiences. Some carry deep-rooted trauma, while others grapple with the everyday complexities of 'normal' life. At times, we might downplay our struggles, thinking that someone out there has it worse than we do. It's a common sentiment, and if you've ever felt this way, you're not alone. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

I also offer Gottman Method couples therapy and sex therapy.
You're tired of always feeling overwhelmed, on autopilot, or stuck in your head with anxiety and insecurities. Self-defeating beliefs and patterns are seriously getting in the way of your goals, work, or relationships. And maybe you also struggle with food, body image, or past events / traumas that make you wonder if you'll ever feel okay in your own skin. Did I just just describe you? Let's talk. I'm not a passive therapist— I roll up my sleeves and give you tangible strategies to deal more effectively in the moment with difficult experiences, thoughts, and feelings.

I am passionate about helping clients find their voice and embrace their autonomy. I want to help create and hold a healing space that allows my clients to take up that space authentically. As a queer and gender non-conforming individual, I am especially passionate about working with folks within these communities.
I work with relationship systems such as monogamous couples, ethically non-monogamous systems, and families, as well as with individuals. I enjoy working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodiversity, disordered eating, trauma, identity exploration, and sex/intimacy concerns.

Hi, I’m Rece, a therapist and owner at Soulful Bloom Therapy. I’m passionate about helping you achieve a greater sense of fulfillment in your life. I believe healthy relationships are essential to this goal. When we can sustain healthy connections (with ourselves and others), we tend to feel more secure, present, and excited about life.
Drawing on evidence-based approaches, I create a space for you to find healing in all your relationships (romantic, family, friendships, and self). My hope is that, along the way, we uncover the best version of you—the authentic one that feels connected, empowered, and ready to navigate life.

You feel lost in relationships…with your partner, family, or new baby. You’re someone who tries to do it all, but still find yourself disconnected, feeling disappointed in what you thought early marriage & parenthood would be like, & the kind of spouse and parent you thought you’d be. It’s lonely to struggle during the supposed “best days of your life”. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to prioritize your own healing. You’re ready to face old ghosts from your past that have kept you stuck in repetitive patterns. Most of all, you’re ready to build a balanced and deeply connected life. I want to help you get there.

I am also Gottman Method Level 1 trained.
Many of the clients I work with are navigating things like low self-esteem, perfectionism, relationship conflict, identity questions, life transitions, anger, or intimacy issues. Sometimes it’s one thing. Sometimes it’s everything at once. In addition to this, I work with women dealing with postpartum anxiety, and rage, an area I’ve grown deeply passionate about, both personally and professionally.

Hello, I'm Karen Hall and I'm a licensed clinical social worker. I let my clients take the lead in what they want to talk about in therapy. I consider clients to be the experts on themselves and what they want to work on. I like to tell clients their options for whatever they consider important work. With trauma I begin by helping clients identify their triggers and soothing mechanisms first, then reveal options like narrative writing, cognitive processing, EMDR, brain-spotting or an integrative approach whichever techniques may be best for them.

When addressing mental health, it is vital to acknowledge the influence of the environment around us. In recent years, the world has presented us with numerous challenges.
