Teletherapy for Tennessee

I believe the therapeutic relationship heals and will keep good boundaries while also genuinely caring about your well-being. I am a warm, intelligent, down-to-earth person who snorts when she laughs. I am interactive and fun, compassionate and heart-centered, as well as grounded and practical. I welcome all people from all walks of life and will allow your therapy journey to unfold organically, at your pace and with your power. I also give feedback and homework and will give you gentle nudges from time to time, if needed. Therapy is hard and fun and beautiful and painful. I hold safe space.

Greetings! I am Tommy. I have been married to my lovely wife for 25 years, I am the father of 3 young adult women and the proud YOUNG grandpa of 3 boys! :) I have spent the last 10 years as a trauma informed therapist in multiple settings and prior to that worked in the social work/child welfare field. I enjoy empowering young adults, individuals and couples. I see life as a journey and see therapy as a break to rest, recharge and refuel so that the journey may continue despite the bumps along the way. I utilize a non-judgmental approach to help young and older adults navigate the complexities and stress of life!

If you have been feeling lost, depressed, or anxious? I believe that we all walk our own journey. I know that inside each of us is the desire to be the best that we can be and sometimes that just gets clouded with life. I am here to help with that struggle whether it is you or your loved one, help is closer than you think.

Feeling overwhelmed by leadership or job stress? Balancing work and life a challenge? Yearning for connections, battling self-doubt? I'm Lucy, a former music industry exec turned therapist, and owner of The Living Room a private practice on Music Row in Nashville, TN. My journey is a bit more rock 'n' roll than your average counselor. I left my executive job after completing graduate studies and clinical training in psychology, relationships, authentic leadership, and behavior change. Now, I'm passionate about guiding clients through career breakthroughs, relationship improvement, and LASTING change!

You've never really felt like you are enough. Sure, you've been successful in school, at work, and well, at life... for the most part (at least it looks that way to other people). But deep down, it has always felt like there is something missing... something wrong - and you wonder if maybe there's actually just something wrong with you. You push your feelings down. You stretch yourself too thin, work too hard, and just can't say "no." You worry about what other people think of you and hope that you're enough for them. You wish it could stop - that you could feel good enough to have happiness and love and actually feel worthy of it.

If, along with the central issue that has you browsing therapists on Psychology Today, you are worried that you will be judged according to someone else's moral or spiritual values; if you are questioning cultural or familial norms; unhappy in the role in which you previously thrived; experiencing grief; wanting to strengthen your romantic relationship(s) with support in discussing sexual desires and boundaries; dealing with typical life stressors; or on the daunting precipice of change, we would probably work well together.

I seek to help my clients learn how to embrace vulnerability as a means to healing, become aware of their emotions and inner thoughts to connect with themselves and others, and trust that the love they deserve is the kind given without conditions.

As a primary therapist and sole owner of Broken Vessels Counseling, I am focused on only one thing, your success. I am passionate about walking along side the hurting, the lost, the captive, the broken, as they discover for themselves their own unique qualities that make them the treasured works of art they where always meant to be. It is my belief that through client centered individual therapy; "Team" oriented Family Therapy; and peer support group therapy; anyone who comes through our program and gives it all they have will successfully transition towards their desired goal in life, with new inner self awareness, esteem.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed with responsibilities and struggling to keep everything under control? Are you prioritizing others over yourself to the point where it's affecting your own health and well-being? If this sounds familiar, I'm here to support you in finding a better balance in your life. My expertise lies in helping individuals who tend to feel overwhelmed or seek immediate relief when dealing with life's challenges. Together, we can explore your triggers and develop new coping mechanisms that will help you feel stronger and more confident.

In this life there is always something that makes us change. Human nature says that it is love or the loss of something or someone. If you think you need help to achieve your goals or make the necessary changes to be successful, you have to give yourself a chance. During therapy you have the necessary space to talk about the different barriers that are a challenge for you. I work with different people who are going through different personal situations, having challenges with their families, or struggling in their marriage.

My goal is to work with people from all different walks of life by empowering them to see that the tools they need to overcome their struggles are already within them. I specialize in working with individuals to find & connect more to their authentic identities, touring professionals in the music industry who are facing the challenges of balancing life on the road & life at home, young adults who are recovering from toxic relationships, & couples looking to find healthier communication and coping styles. I offer individual, & couples counseling as well as Enneagram consulting, coaching, & typing.

We are compatible with motivated clients, that are willing to partner in an effort to interrupt emotional or cognitive patterns that are not serving you.

Allow us to assist you in unearthing tools that identify your barriers and create sustainable change.

Life can be frustrating and challenging when you're dealing with overwhelming feelings, constant worry, or self doubt. Do you often find yourself battling with your emotions, teetering between anger and sadness? Are you lashing out at those around you or do you shut down, hoping to avoid difficult or uncomfortable situations? Want more control over your emotions and how you react to others? You can be left feeling anxious, frustrated, lonely, or even angry when personal issues go unsolved. Know that you don't have to tackle life's problems on your own. Life can change for you and I can help guide you through the process.

Do you feel stuck and notice a longing for more? Maybe you feel like there are some unaddressed parts of your story that you're ready to work through. Maybe you feel overwhelmed with thoughts and feelings or maybe you don't feel much of anything. Often, my clients come to me feeling disconnected from their feelings and are ready to do the work of becoming more present and grounded. Others feel the burdens of childhood trauma or messy family dynamics. Others may feel like imposters in their work or social environments and desire to be more confident with who they are.

Battling emotional difficulties can be frightening and hard. Why? It's fear of the unexpected. My 30 years of experience (USN & DoD civilian) as an addiction counselor and clinical social worker taught me how to make this process less scary and easier. We can walk the path to overcoming your difficulty together. I'm experienced treating, trauma (PTSD) stress, anxiety, domestic/general violence, anger, and other issues. My specialty and passion, treating, veterans, first responders, and their significant others. I'm here to guide you through your therapy. Looking forward to meeting you.
