Therapists in Smyrna, TN

I have had the privilege of working in the mental health field for 25 years. I am honored when people choose to share their stories with me. I understand that the process of starting therapy can be frightening.

You, your child, or teen may be struggling with regulating emotions, adjusting to transitions, or maintaining healthy relationships. You may not know what to do or who to trust. You want relief and coping skills. You are not alone.

I love to work with clients who feel stuck in unhealthy relationships or habits. Many of my clients tell me that they have a hard time opening up, or that they did not think therapy would help them. I appreciate the struggle of unhealthy patterns, toxic relationships, or finding one’s path; and I’m honored to have the opportunity to support individuals who want to better understand themselves, heal, and grow. My clients leave therapy feeling hopeful, supported, and empowered to meet their goals.

Are you motivated to feel better at work, home, or school but do not know how? Are you at lunch googling Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Couples Counseling, Divorce, or a new job? Is adulting too hard? I am a clinician with 25 years of experience providing an array of mental health services. I have a background working for large healthcare systems where I provided direct client care, managed teams, trained clinicians in emergency rooms, medical settings, and behavioral health clinics giving me a unique perspective on how to support a wide variety of symptoms. I believe that everyone is capable of healing.

Road map to where? Their are many twists and turns in our lives that may take unexpected routes, come with difficult choices and sometimes negatives results. I'd like to work alongside you to help navigate a more stable and peaceful destination.

Hey! I'm Christina. I'm proud of you for taking this step toward seeking counseling. It's very hard to be vulnerable, especially in today's world. Counseling is a place to be seen, known, and feel safe. A place where we can talk through all of the hard and difficult things in your life and work towards healing. A place to figure out what's going well and how to build on those strengths.

After experiencing my own trials in life, I learned just how beneficial counseling can be to supporting us through life’s difficulties. It is my goal to provide that healthy support to others who are walking hard paths. For me, the therapeutic relationship involves a mutual learning from one another, as well as addressing a person’s needs from all arenas, including emotional, physical, and spiritual. An understanding of attachment helps me encourage clients to find clarity in their lives and healthier relationships with self and others. I am grateful for the honor of being a safe space for clients.

I am trained in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), EMDR, Murray Method Trauma Certified level 1 & 2, and implement attachment-based therapy in my practice. Serving as a nurse for 30 years allowed me to sit with people through some of their darkest moments, while providing encouragement and hope.

Having the opportunity to help people grow and heal is why I became a counselor. Sometimes we need help and that can be hard to ask for. I am a Christian counselor and have been ordained for 14 years. If a person is in a marriage crisis I want to be there to see if we can get thru to the other side. My experience in my own personal life has lead me to this place of helping couples, pre marital counseling, or any other individual who feels lost. Most people need good advice. They need someone who is a third objective party. That's what I am. That's what I enjoy. Helping people see things from a different perspective.

I am a daughter of Lao refugees, born and raised in Tennessee. I love working with clients who are wanting to process through their trauma, in the midst of life transitions, experiencing anxiety and/or depression, and wrestling with aspects of their identity. Throughout life, I have learned that every human has a unique story; having a longing to be understood, accepted, and seen and continue to learn the importance of understanding all the different parts that make up my clients’ lives. It’s my desire that I create a safe space for you to bring and be all of who you are on your unique journey of healing and discovery.

I specialize in supporting 3 types of clients - individuals who find themselves swimming in a sea of their thoughts, high-achievers who feel like they've outgrown their friendships and relationships, and overachievers who don't know how to use the word 'no'. As someone who has experienced and navigated through all of these issues myself, I have a great deal of understanding and compassion for what you're going through. If you're the kind of person who second-guesses yourself I just want to say I GET it! And I'm ready to help you sort through the mental maze.

Life can be difficult to navigate and there's no user manual. Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Do you have a child or teenager who is often mislabeled as a "bad kid"? Do you feel your plate is more than full? Are you struggling to manage it all at once? Life can feel overwhelming. You keep burying these feelings and telling yourself "I'm fine". You deserve time to slow down and focus on yourself!

It is possible to move through life with minimal struggle. Your outward action in harmony with the inner voice that guides you, doing the right thing for the right reason, with a feeling of the wind at your back, effortless. One school of thought is that if you are not busy doing something and staying on top of things, you will lose your edge and your effectiveness. This attitude can create an over-active mind, prone to excessive worry and stress. The Art of Struggle Reduction takes a different approach. Moving through life with minimal worry, stress, and struggle makes one more effective, not less.

**Not currently accepting new clients** Sometimes it can be difficult for people to know how to best express themselves, cope with daily life or deal with issues such as anxiety, depression or decision-making. Therapy is a positive way for a person to learn how to use strengths more effectively and tolerate and become less limited by weaknesses. Issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, job concerns, relationships and navigating life transitions can make us feel like we aren't as capable as those we see around us.
