Therapists in Nashville, TN

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed? Maybe you've been having thoughts of not being good enough or questioning your identity. You might be the kind of person who is used to having it all figured out and can usually manage things on your own, but lately it’s been feeling like too much to handle. Stress is starting to negatively impact your relationships, work and health. Trying to carry this weight can be emotionally and physically exhausting especially when you’re trying to do it alone. That’s where I come in.

Therapy is a unique and special type of relationship. Being vulnerable with another person requires bravery, and I deeply value the trust that we develop over time through our work. You are taking a courageous step forward in your healing process to make your first appointment! I am versed in a variety of empirically supported treatments such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD (CPT), and like to blend multiple approaches in the way that will bring about the best results for you.

I specialize in early addiction recovery support, grief and trauma counseling along with PTSD of all kinds including combat trauma. I am EMDR trained and also work with chronic pain patients to help reduce or eliminate pain through a specific EMDR protocol.

What kind of therapist are you looking for? Are you seeking someone who sits back and is content with simply listening? Or are you looking for someone who will actively help you get to the heart of the matter? I conduct a dynamic, active therapy. In addition to empathic listening, I offer insights and techniques that yield results. I am committed to helping my clients resolve their personal issues and past trauma in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment.

I have worked with clients of all ages. I specialize in evidence-based practices which uses gold standard treatments to teach clients helpful skills in a timely manner.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming or just plain hard. Do you need someone to walk with you on your individual journey toward healing? If you struggle with affects of trauma, reactivity to difficult life events or people, relationship issues, feeling stuck, self criticism, emotional turmoil, codependency, burn out, or transition, I'd like to face it with you. Together we can look at your challenges and approach them in ways that feel right to you. It's never too late to move toward having the life you really want.

I work with individuals, couples and families who are dealing with problems which hinder them from growing in their personal life and their relationships. I use a non-judgmental systems approach to understand all the factors relevant to the issues you are facing. Then, to assist you, in finding the "best" path for your healing and growth. I am glad to offer non-denominational Christian based counseling to anyone who desires to work from that spiritual background. Although, I am happy to work with people of all thoughts and belief systems.

I believe in the innate capacity and sacred art of healing through connection- connection with others and connection within ourselves. I am passionate about providing a space that feels safe and soothing where you can feel seen and heard without judgment or feeling the need to say or do “the right thing.” My clients are often adults who have experienced trauma or are navigating concerns such as transitions into parenthood, depression, anxiety, or interpersonal issues. I utilize a combination of approaches to help process painful experiences, explore new coping strategies, and increase resources to help you heal.

As a CBT and DBT Psychologist, National Speaker, hospital consultant, and clinical supervisor for Vanderbilt University, I have successfully helped veterans, teens, psychologists, physicians, attorneys, students, celebrities, and homemakers feel better and improve their lives. My business, PSYCHē, PLLC is founded upon the belief that going the extra mile makes all the difference. People need real support and real solutions—not just a nod and concerned look. My job is to help—my clients tell me how. I am a member of PSYPACT which means I can see clients in every state that is a member of PSYPACT and I'm also licensed in MA.

I have been a licensed counselor for over fifteen years and I have been in the helping profession for nearly thirty-five years. Much of my experience is working with people who have experienced trauma, especially within relationships. I work best with individuals who are dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, and issues of empowerment. I feel you are the expert concerning your life. Maybe you just need some help exploring that. My style is not to give advice, but rather to provide a safe environment and relationship where you can feel free to grow and transform.

Two values I strive for in the therapy room are understanding and security. When you walk through my door, I want you to feel the kind of safety that allows you to get cozy on the sofa and take a deep breath before diving into what matters most to you. Throughout the process, my hope is that all parts of you - those you love and know well and those that you struggle with or push away in your daily life - feel welcome, seen, appreciated, and understood. My clients are primarily adult individuals who hope to find healing and connection within themselves and with others.

Accepting new clients! All are welcome! You can have a life full of abundance, peace, and joy, in fact, you deserve it! Life may be more overwhelming than you could ever imagine. I get it! We will work together to identify sources of stress, difficult emotions, & limiting thoughts and behavior patterns in order to develop resources for more satisfaction, fulfillment, and joy in your life. My goal is to be deeply present with your experiences in order to help you become more expansive, self- aware, confident, and validated so that you can find your path that leads to your most authentic self.

I believe that we all deserve support and at the core of personal transformation is a duality of self-compassion and desire for change. As humans we are intrinsically wired for connection, resiliency and healing. However, sometimes there are things from the past or other life stressors that cause us to feel stuck and that healing is out of our reach. I am deeply interested in the mind-body connection and believe reconnecting to our bodies can be incredibly transformational. I work with folks in adolescence and adulthood who are desiring to address trauma, optimal performance, depression, anxiety and life transitions.

It is natural to experience a range of emotions; some flooding us thoroughly, and others frozen at our core. Sometimes we all feel challenged by life itself. This is why it can be helpful to seek out a therapist. My counseling practice is focused on helping adults and teens who struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, and chronic stress. The foundation of my practice is layered. In order to effectively work together, I believe that it is important to understand your past, as it informs your present. Much of our resilience stems from our interactions with attachment figures—It is necessary to consider the context of our life.
