Teletherapy for Tennessee

Hi, I’m Carrie. Whatever is happening in your life right now, we can face it with care and find authentic, effective ways to handle it, together. For over 20 years, I’ve worked with individuals, groups, organizations, and communities in making positive change. I have also experienced my own healing journey from childhood abuse and family dysfunction, so I’m intimately familiar with the terrain. My life’s passion is for healing trauma; transforming pain into wholeness; helping my clients develop their unique gifts and path; and nurturing relationships back to health; and that’s what I’ve trained to do.

The world is overwhelming and hard to navigate. Memories or experiences can keep you up at night or haunt your thoughts at every turn, making you feel stuck in a pit of anxiety and depression. It's challenging to enjoy your current life when the memories won't stop replaying and the weight of anxiety/depression is paralyzing. Sometimes you know exactly where the pain is stemming from and other times it creeps up with no explanation. I believe that there is hope.

Clients often come to me because they have relational goals or challenges that have them feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Whether navigating the complexities of non-monogamy, figuring out relationships in the context of your sexual or gender identity, struggling with communication and conflict, working through relational traumas, or trying to achieve more sexual fulfillment, you deserve a therapist who is competent and respectful and who will partner with you in your work to be a happier human. That is what I strive to do.

There are times we all need a safe space to explore our thoughts and feelings. If you find yourself in a place of grief, stress, anxiety, or just feeling ungrounded, I can help you walk through the process of finding healing and wellness. If you and your partner are looking to improve your communication, rebuild trust, or find new ways to understand each other, I can guide you along the way. Whether you are seeking therapy as an individual or a couple, I will build a safe space for you to tell your story to find healing, growth, and renewal.

My practice is Blackcentric, meaning it is a safe space for those from the African Diaspora. I work with high functioning black women with anxiety and depression. I also work with clients from a spectrum of cultures while utilizing a blackcentric orientation rooted in the family, that addresses race, gender, class and socio-political orientations. Do you long for a space where you can be fully yourself, and express your deepest truth? Have you struggled with anxiety and depression and read every self-help book and still can’t get relief? Do you have childhood T(t)rauma that is impacting your adult relationships? Text me to talk.

As humans, we innately desire to be connected to and understood by others. For some, connection feels terrifying, confusing, and unsafe. I can help you build and foster a life with fulfilling relationships, with others & with yourself. My goal is to help you access bravery & empowerment so that your whole, authentic self drives your actions instead of fear. Stop obsessing, people pleasing, & stewing in resentment. Heal the root of feeling misunderstood, unloveable, and out of place. Learn to engage in honest conversations rather than only speaking your truth when you're alone. Create powerful community and deep meaning in your life.

Therapy for individuals, couple, and families. There are times when life is painful and seemingly without answers, yet what seems most broken in us can be a channel for growth, even a source of strength we never knew was possible. My own healing through therapy and mindfulness meditation inspired me to pursue an MA in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco -- the first program in the world to blend Eastern philosophical and spiritual traditions with Western schools of psychology. Today, I feel honored to support others on their journey toward healing.

Life can be difficult but therapy doesn't have to be! If you've talked about your struggles just to feel worse afterwards and see little to no progress, I'd like to introduce myself. You don't need to relive every past hurt or leave feeling emotionally drained at the end of each session. Change is possible without years of therapy! Let me help you figure out what's holding you back and find real, practical solutions so you can live life the way you want to. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC-MHSP) with over 8 years of experience working with with children, adolescents, and adults.

You're tired of always feeling overwhelmed, on autopilot, or stuck in your head with anxiety and insecurities. Self-defeating beliefs and patterns are seriously getting in the way of your goals, work, or relationships. And maybe you also struggle with food, body image, or past events / traumas that make you wonder if you'll ever feel okay in your own skin. Did I just just describe you? Let's talk. I'm not a passive therapist— I roll up my sleeves and give you tangible strategies to deal more effectively in the moment with difficult experiences, thoughts, and feelings.

Are you (or your child or adolescent) feeling irritable or tired? Are you having trouble sleeping, concentrating, or simply making it through each day? Perhaps those in your household are wrestling with feelings of anger, sadness, anxiety, or social isolation. First and foremost, you aren't alone. And believe it or not, what you or your family members are struggling with may be rooted in grief and loss, trauma, or even shame. Environmental stress, the death of a loved one, changes in physical health, divorce or relationship loss, and day-to-day life transitions can thrust anyone into an emotional and physical tailspin.

I'm Tiffany and I want to work with you! Many of us struggle with boundaries, low self-esteem, and decision making. Usually we know what we want, but we've been conditioned to believe we are undeserving. Whether this belief has been created from religious experiences, our family of origin, or society we will work together to bring about hope and healing. Choosing who to share your story with is a serious and personal decision. You must feel comfortable, accepted, and valued. I will laugh and cry with you. We are the way we are for a reason. Let's find out what that is and help you become the best version of yourself!

Are you feeling depressed, hopeless, or not sure how to work through some past hurts and traumas you may have experienced? Are you dealing with anxiety in your relationships or not sure how to uncover your own identity? If so, I would love to help you. I have extensive experience in working with trauma, relationship trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Everyone has a story that has defined their life up until this moment. It is my commitment to help you feel empowered to be the author of your own story.

Education professionals, I intentionally and wholeheartedly hold space for you. The challenges and even barriers to show up in instructional environments are vast. Sometimes, they are also internal. Perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and people pleasing are just a few daily battles often faced as you navigate the many hats you balance in your professional and personal lives. Prioritizing a time for you to process your experiences can start in your own home. Virtual therapy can provide that safe space needed for processing, exploring, and nurturing our compassionate selves to combat the demands of the day.

When looking for a couples counselor why choose between a male or female counselor? Why not have both? At Wheeler and Wheeler Counseling we work as a husband and wife duo providing both individual counseling - individually, as well as couples counseling - collaboratively. We are licensed Christian counselors who integrate faith with the daily challenges our clients face. We love collaborating with couples in marriage counseling, premarital counseling, and what we like to call prebaby counseling. As partners in both life and practice, we bring a deep understanding of the joys, struggles, and intricacies in relationships.

I help individuals, couples, and families who are seeking support with symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, or find themselves in challenging seasons of life due to change or transition.

My ideal client is ready for a change. They are someone who is looking for support with life stress and anxiety, adjusting to a life transition, feeling stuck, or wanting to grow themself. My client's goals might include learning to better manage stress and anxiety, finding their voice or direction, setting boundaries, growing self-worth, or creating new healthy patterns. They might want help with communication in the workplace and at home. They might want to start thriving in life and relationships and start healing from barriers in the past. I am currently receiving training in Somatic Experiencing (traumahealing.org).

Eclectic, spiritually bent, and sacredly genuine. I utilize creativity and work from an embodied healing approach. I will lovingly challenge you; while lovingly supporting you. I want to help you connect to, and operate from, your True Self. Out of the box thinker; life does not fit in a box; therefore, therapy does not fit in a box. Connect to what a fulfilled life looks like for you; and, then how to live that life. Shedding of old patterns and transition into your genuine self. Also, offer energy work.

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.

My approach to therapy is rooted in connection and safety. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship for healing and growth, and I strive to create a safe, accepting space for each of my clients. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, psychodynamic perspective, exploring with clients how past experiences, attachment, and trauma have impacted them. I believe in the importance of acknowledging the whole self in the healing process, and I often incorporate ideas from Somatic Experiencing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, playtherapy/expressive arts, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into counseling.
