Therapists Beginning With E in Tennessee

My approach as a therapist is to first reduce any distress that is showing up in the present in order to provide a more immediate sense of relief before walking alongside you to the places of pain in the past. Once we are able to step into past pain, we can work together to rewrite any false narratives and process through your individual experiences in order to create lasting healing. I have experience working with teenagers as young as 15, to adults in their late 70s. My specialties include working with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, chronic health issues and I have experience working with those who have a TBI.

Pet peeves: when prayer needs are taken, and these are the most common replies: “I need wisdom and guidance.” (Who doesn’t?) “My aunt’s neighbor fell on her butt in the driveway. Please pray that she doesn't require surgery.” (People have a way of distancing themselves from being honest about what they really need.) Imagine the freedom you might experience if you had the liberty to be truthful about what you really need. For example, “I’m not even sure I believe in God anymore; I’m so angry and hurt.” I am a board-certified chaplain (BCC) and seminary-trained pastor (MDiv) working as a FT pastoral counselor (19 years).

My specialty areas are addiction, trauma, codependency, and mood disorders. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to develop tools and gain insight to create the life you deserve. I am honored to work with individuals, couples, and families seeking to improve the quality of their lives and relationships. Our past invisibly influences the present, shaping our current thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and behaviors. Psychotherapy is a partnership that helps to illuminate the next step on your path to a more peaceful, joyful life.

Life can become messy, and the weight of the world can feel overwhelming. Taking the first step in seeking therapy is a brave and remarkable decision. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families navigate the complexities of their relationships and achieve personal growth. My approach is rooted in helping clients regain confidence, connection, and self-compassion by creating a safe and supportive environment. I believe that people are ever-evolving and have the capacity to change and find healing in their stories. I am committed to guiding you through this transformative process.

I am passionate about helping individuals of all ages overcome anxiety and depression, heal from past traumas, process their own griefs, and develop into the healthy and whole people that God designed them to be. I have worked with individuals age 5 through 75, however I specialize in issues involving adolescent and young adult women. I am experienced in counseling through issues involving identity formation, anxiety, depression, loss, adjustment issues, divorce, grief, health difficulties, trauma, self-image, life direction, career changes, and relationships.

Regardless of where you find yourself, you deserve to feel supported and heard. Life can bring many seasons. Some seasons can be challenging, making us question our worth and purpose. Other seasons feel permanent, leaving us feeling stuck and hopeless. Or maybe we experience a change, forcing us to shift and transition. My desire is to meet you exactly where you are, no matter the season you find yourself in. I hope to walk with you towards a place of growth as you realize your strengths and self-worth.

We all know that life can be tough, and it may feel as if your brain is working against you. Sometimes life’s challenges can make it difficult to engage in healthy coping skills and self love. This can often lead to struggles with feelings, thoughts or memories that can make you feel out of control. My stance in therapy is that you are the expert on yourself and your experience. My goal is to meet you where you are at, and to provide a safe space where we can work together to identify behaviors that are not serving you.

Brandy Walker is one of our therapists at ENWC. She specializes in supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationships–both with others and within oneself. She enjoys helping clients with reducing emotional reactivity and impulsive behaviors, improving emotional awareness, increasing mindfulness, and developing healthier ways of coping.

You are here for a reason - Let's find it together. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, confusion, anger, or whatever it may be, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I know struggles are inevitable, and I am committed to leaning into those and supporting you toward holistic healing. I genuinely believe we are created to walk alongside one another through the ins and outs of life, and my goal is to support you through this process and advocate on your behalf.

Life can be difficult and confusing. I am here to help you sort through the pain to find hope and healing for the days ahead. The hurt can be deep, going back to earliest memories or coming from present hardships. Counseling you is about establishing a safe place, a loving environment of grace. My tools come from my training and from 33 years of experience, but each person is exquisitely unique, so no therapeutic relationship is the same as any other. It is an honor and privilege to share deeply in your life and the lives of your family. At present, because of a recent move to another state, I am connecting only online or by cell.

Over the past 28 years, I have enjoyed working with individuals, couples and families from a relational perspective. I particularly enjoy working with men who struggle with issues of communication and intimacy. My counseling takes a dynamic, interpersonal approach to seeking healing, because I believe that we grow in the context of intentional community with one another. While I am a Christian, I welcome those into my office from all world views and perspectives.

Whether you're seeking therapy for yourself or your relationship, you may be feeling disconnected, exhausted, embarrassed, angry, or many other emotions. Perhaps you long for better communication, greater intimacy, and rebuilt trust. In addition to working toward re-connection and love in your relationship, sex and sexuality are often difficult to talk about between couples. Creating a judgement-free space where you can explore these thoughts, feelings, and personal values is my highest priority as a therapist.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in the field I strive to provide informed and evidence based treatment to clients of diverse backgrounds in a safe, supportive, and accepting environment. Therapy is a unique experience in which we can create the space that we don't often make for ourselves otherwise to stay with and explore our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I recognize that seeking support can be difficult and I truly value the positive feedback my clients have provided regarding their feelings of comfort and safety in their work with me.

Young people present unique challenges, but also unique opportunities. After almost 30 years experience working with this population, there aren't many situations I haven't encountered. There is always reason for hope. What your therapist expects influences the outcomes. As a behavioral optimist, I approach clients I work with believing that no one wants to be miserable. We all want to reach our potential, as children, adolescents, parents, families, members of a community. Every living, breathing person, whatever their age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or place in life, is capable of change. That is a firm belief of mine.

My passion is working with those who feel stuck- who desire change and healing, regardless of what life circumstance they have experienced, or stage of life they are in. I am focused on empowering my clients through collaboration in a warm, safe, and accepting environment. I believe clients are the true experts of their lives, we all need support, and an unbiased perspective can be helpful in navigating life's challenges. I have been practicing for over 10 years and have extensive training in trauma, including Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and in Sex Therapy.
