I'm excited to help you navigate the complexities of life, whether that's relationship
stress
, personal angst, or just the everyday ups and downs that keep us on our toes.
You're navigating through life's tricky maze. You might be a hard-working professional, a vibrant young adult, a loving couple, or a fiery teenager. You're a dynamo - successful, busy, and always on the move. Yet, there's something amiss. Despite achieving what many would consider the 'dream', you're not feeling the contentment you thought would come with it. Maybe you're wrestling with anxiety or battling bouts of depression. Perhaps relationships aren't thriving like they used to, or your life's trajectory has you questioning what's next.

Most who have experienced or are experiencing NA have at least 1 other mental health comorbidity, be it anxiety, depression,
stress
management and coping, relationship issues, life transitions, grief/loss or trauma.
Update: Greetings! I'm in the process of getting my mental health prescriptive privileges as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 2 semesters left, as I am already a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider and a Family Nurse Practitioner. It just made sense to do the 4 semester connector. I'm currently full, but am creating a waitlist for those who want to see a specialist in Covert Narcissistic Abuse, so please reach out if you are interested in either beginning therapy in August 2023 and/or Med management in May of 2024 with me. I will contact you as soon as possible!

Whether you have faced trauma or
stress
, are experiencing life transitions, relationship issues, or family conflict, or are navigating mental health issues, I'm happy to come alongside you and offer the support you are searching for.
My favorite quote from James Baldwin hangs in my office – “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” I absolutely believe we can change and be better, and my role as your therapist is to help you lean into that potential. My career has focused on learning as much as I can about trauma,
stress
, and adversity, which means I have a background in social work, developmental psychology, interpersonal neurobiology, and family systems. This background helps me see the "whole person" - all the reasons why you are who you are - and allows for space to create meaningful change in your life.
Steve Zanoni

I am a Chicagoland native that migrated to Nashville in 2019 to pursue my passion for helping and motivating those in need of guidance and counseling. Working as a mental health professional with more than two decades of experience in counseling, public service and resolution, leadership roles, and mentoring, I have developed a distinct skill set for providing effective counseling and psychotherapies and act as a positive support system for adults, adolescents, and children.

Life can be difficult at times with so many life transitions and still having to complete everyday tasks without support and encouragement. You are not alone in feeling the weight of trying to carry it all while experiencing
stress
, anxiety, depression, and burnout. Most importantly losing who you are deep down. Therapy can serve as a safe space to begin exploring who you are and what your needs are through creative expressions such as art or music and utilizing evidence-based interventions to help relieve the weight of those everyday stressors.

MEN: We're expected to juggle a lot: work, school, relationships, health,
stress
, you name! And those things aren’t suppose to bother us. Who established that lie?! For a time we can handle about anything thrown at us and not be phased...till we can't! The facade can only go on for a little while, then, our masks begin to crack. At least that's my story so I get it! We look one way, feel another, all while stuffing what's really going on deep down and out of sight. We WILL begin to unravel and that’s when we turn to the things that help us numb or check-out. In retrospect, they things worked well but now they're just making a mess.

Life can be challenging, and you might find yourself feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, or maybe completely numb & just trying to survive. You might be experiencing
stress
at your job, relationship issues, family conflict, financial worries, or maybe you're trying to heal on your own from the things that you never talk about. You might be finding that you're exploding with anger, crying more than usual, having a hard time concentrating, or doing whatever you can to distract yourself and feel a moment of peace. You might be in need of someone who can listen to you and provide empathy & support.

I integrate interventions such as emotional intelligence, EMDR, mindfulness-based
stress
reduction, assertiveness skills, self-acceptance, and learning to connect with others in a healthy way.
You are not alone through this. You’ve experienced something distressing, and it’s still affecting you. You are feeling stuck, not like yourself, and are more sad, upset, or angry than you used to be. Maybe you’re having memories or worries about the future pop into your head at the most unexpected times. You drift off and have a hard time focusing at work or with your family, and you find yourself lonely and feeling detached even when other people are around. You are so worried about the future that sometimes it’s paralyzing. You want to feel better and improve your relationships, but it’s hard to imagine how you can get there.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
