Marriage Counseling Therapists in Nashville, TN
I work with individuals and couples using CBT, interpersonal psychodynamic therapy, and EMDR among other techniques.
Starting therapy with the expectation of facing long-ago and/or more recent wounds and healing them, especially if your wounds were caused by someone else's behavior, is daunting. However, healing these wounds frees up energy taken up by coping with the pain of limping around and guarding our tender spots.

I offer individual and couples counseling to adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, and balanced living.
My work focuses on supporting individuals with complex PTSD (CPTSD). After years of adapting to dysfunction, reconnecting with yourself can feel unfamiliar and challenging. In our work together, I help guide the process of release and renewal, offering tools that support lasting healing. As we gently unlearn fear-based behaviors and survival patterns, new possibilities emerge for how you experience yourself and the world around you.

I love working with clients who have a readiness to gain greater self awareness, and those who have a deep desire to know and accept themselves. I have a heart for working with individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as those who have ADHD/ASD. As a member of these communities myself I know that many of us were taught to dislike ourselves or to try and blend in and I hope to offer each client who steps into my office a sense of safety and understanding.

You’ve spent so long trying to make peace with your body in a world that keeps telling you it’s the problem.

You’re ready for gentler conversations—with yourself and the world around you.

In the world today, there are countless things that we often pursue in the hopes of happiness, only to fall short. We ask ourselves, "Why am I still depressed? Why am I still anxious?" As we pursue "happiness," distractions impair our ability to make healthy decisions, and we never get a chance to know what we are thinking. Much of our habits stem from trauma or memories unpleasant enough, we make attempts to avoid the discomfort of the emotions the memories bring.

We're all works in progress. I believe in your ability to progress toward a freer self. The clients who begin work with me aren't free--they are constrained in a number of ways: depression, anxiety, disordered eating, low self-esteem, fear of intimacy, or impulsive behaviors. I see my work with you as helping you find the way back to your true self, where feelings, thoughts, desires, and hopes are revealed and honored, instead of tyrannized and discounted, sometimes by your own self.

I help individuals and couples find healing.
I’m Jason Pipkin, A-LPC/MHSP, who specializes in working with adults approaching and experiencing midlife. Middle adulthood can feel like a quiet unraveling—shifts in identity, relationships, body, and belief. I help men and women prepare for and navigate through the second half of life. This might include working through unaddressed trauma, depression, grief, anxiety, hormonal changes, or family/parenting challenges. Together, we slow things down, clarify what's happening, and find a way to pursue healing. My style is warm, curious, and insight-building, helping you reconnect with your values and move forward with clarity.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
