Therapists in Whites Creek, TN

Treatment for psychological disorders is better than ever. I specialize in offering new, evidence-based treatment options for OCD and related/co-occuring conditions that are more gentle and affirming than traditional approaches. How you experience OCD can be influenced by ADHD, Autism, racism, LGBTQ+ identity, trauma history, substance use and other contextual and identity factors. I'm here to listen with humility and acceptance (no thoughts are too shameful or taboo), make a thoughtful diagnosis, and gently guide you through science-backed treatment. Best of all, we can do it all from the comfort of home via videoconferencing.

Living with a mental health challenge like anxiety, depression, OCD, or an eating disorder can feel like carrying a boulder on your back 24/7. Of course, none of us would choose that— so it can be strange to think that it’s possible to choose something different through engaging in therapy. But the magic of neuroplasticity and therapeutic change can absolutely support you in finally setting that boulder down (or… maybe we can smash it into a million pieces together. )

If you are like many of my clients, you are a young adult that works hard. But like them, you are worried all the time. You have had some panic attacks. You are overwhelmed and stressed out. You want good grades and good relationships. You want to stop feeling overwhelmed and stop saying to yourself "I need to get my act together". You just want to know that you are making the right decisions for your future. Like you, my clients experience anxiety and they work with me because they want to stop feeling like they aren't good enough all of the time.

You may be experiencing "stuckness" in your life, feeling caught in thought loops that have left you overwhelmed, anxious, in pain, hopeless. Yet, something brought you here – somewhere within you is an action tendency to move toward healing, growth, and connection. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, or existential struggles over identity, relationships, loss, or life transitions, together through therapy, we can tap into that healing energy already within you, reframe and make space for painful experiences, reconstruct ways of moving through the world, and create space for movement toward what matters most to you.

Hello, I'm Dr. Yanet Vanegas, and I understand that seeking support for mental well-being can be a challenging journey. I'm a child and adolescent psychologist and a perinatal mental health certified provider. My approach goes beyond merely treating symptoms. It’s about sparking lasting change and fostering personal growth. I create personalized treatment plans using the latest therapeutic techniques, including CBT, Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) therapy for OCD, and DBT.

Sometimes difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences take us away from the life we want to live. It may not seem clear how therapy can help. I provide a non-judgmental and secure space where, together, we can clarify your goals and develop a treatment plan. My approach to therapy is grounded in evidence-based clinical practices. Combining behavioral and mindfulness-based modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention, I help clients develop insight and take action in order to live engaged, meaningful lives.

It’s taken me a long time to write this because I desperately wanted my bio to communicate my heart for counseling, people, and the work that I do, but I also feel that words fall short when you’re trying to communicate something so intimate. First of all, you are brave for taking a step toward deeper healing, and I am honored that you might consider me as a support alongside you in your journey. Whether this is your first time seeking counseling or your 10th time, I hope to encourage and help empower you in your fight to become who you want to be. Whatever next step you decide to take, I hope the best for you.

We all struggle with anxiety and nerves every once in a while, but if you’re experiencing anxiety or racing thoughts that makes life difficult to live or enjoy your new baby, I can help! With a focus on perinatal mood and anxiety as well as emerging adult difficulties and OCD, I’ll teach you to overcome your challenges with tangible skills and practice through my specialty training in anxiety and depression. You'll learn to reduce obsessive thinking and conquer needless worrying that may be getting in the way of enjoying your pregnancy, new baby, or life. I have a special interest working with pregnant people & fear of childbirth.

Are you constantly overthinking and struggle to live in the present? Do you find yourself getting caught in a spiral of self-criticism that leaves you feeling unmotivated to do the things you really want to do with your life? How very human of you! As a therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders, I enjoy showing clients that they are in charge of their lives (despite what anxiety tells them). Using a self-compassion and trauma-informed lens, I offer clients the permission to accept themselves and start living the life they deserve to live.

I specialize in the treatment of obsessive compulsive and related disorders, including body focused repetitive behaviors such as skin-picking and hair-pulling and body dysmorphic disorder, as well as anxiety disorders and perinatal anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorders. I provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and offer exposure with response prevention (ERP). I provided therapy in a partial hospitalization program from 2015 to 2017 and have been working with individuals at the outpatient level of care since 2017.

I am a pre-licensed psychologist who has experience providing outpatient psychotherapy across the lifespan, and I have worked in intensive outpatient settings with adolescents and adults. My specialties include the treatment of anxiety disorders (generalized, social, panic, phobias) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). I also offer services for depression, life transitions and adjustments, emotion dysregulation, relational concerns, and parent training. My doctoral education and training were both completed at Emory University in Atlanta, GA.

Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle of frustrating, unfulfilling thoughts, feelings or behavior patterns? Are you ready to find some new, more effective ways to increase your life satisfaction? Would you like to increase your self-awareness and understanding and develop some new coping strategies? Are you looking for a therapist who can be supportive as well as open, direct and an active participant in the change process?

There are so many things outside of our control that are inevitably difficult to cope with. Even with the unforeseen situations and stressors that life throws our way, the one thing we do have control over is the way we respond to them. However, it is difficult to know how to respond when we are experiencing fear, anxiety, and other heightened emotions. I want to help people strengthen their coping capabilities in an environment that is open, non-judgmental, and collaborative. My goal is to provide support to individuals, couples, and families tackling every day and life stressors with more confidence, hope, self-empowerment.

Helping others is my nature and making a difference in someone’s life is my passion. I believe the best way to do that is to provide people the skills to help themselves grow through self-acceptance and personal development. I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, and life transitions. I am particularly interested in working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I believe, “Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.” - Brené Brown

My name is Brooke Davidson and I am passionate about working with children and adolescents and their families. I completed my training at California School of Professional Psychology in 2017. My current practice has two main areas of focus: evidence based treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Anxiety Disorders and Psychological Testing. As a concierge psychologist, I offer several therapy options including in my office, mobile therapy (I come to you), telehealth and groups.

My ideal client is one who knows they need to make changes and are willing to do the work of therapy. My practice is specialized to help those with OCD, anxiety, and related disorders but I am also a gender therapist. My office is a safe space where you can be you.

Do you struggle with fear, anxiety, worry or depression? Do you avoid situations because of difficult emotions? Does your anxiety and avoidance interfere with your quality of life? Or do you feel everything in your life needs to be perfect? I am passionate about helping individuals learn to thrive again by using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure-Response Prevention Therapy (ERP). I use an integrative approach to create a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment in which individuals can explore and grow.
