Therapists in Nashville, TN

Feeling stressed and exhausted all the time? Are you overwhelmed, feeling stuck, alone, or hopeless? Does It seem like no one understands what you are struggling with? Do you question your identity and your place in the world? Your self-esteem is pretty low and you may have trouble setting healthy boundaries at work or with loved ones. Your inner critic whispers that you are not enough and you don't deserve better. Life feels fucking hard and you realize it is time to seek help. You are ready to feel joy again, to feel that deep passion for life, to rebuild connections, and to be present in your body and in your world.

You many be feeling overwhelmed, isolated, anxious, depressed, and reliving past traumatic experiences, but hopeful for understanding, confidence, and peace? Through my work in sexual assault centers, domestic violence shelters, in private practice, and at Onsite Workshops I have learned how trauma is stored in the body, how it creates negative beliefs about the self, how it keeps us from living in the present moment and how it keeps us from connecting to those around us. Working with me feels like gentle confrontation and resource building in order to delve into past wounds with a deeply open, knowledgeable, and compassionate ally.

I believe that every person brings a distinct and unique experience to insights and impacts on their fellow humans. You shine brightly, even in your darkest moments, and my goal is to build on the strengths and resilience that carried you through challenges. I hope to support you during life transitions, conflict resolution, co-occurring disorders, neurodivergence, and building and maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships. I work with you in a collaborative effort by using a holistic, person-centered approach, focusing on self-determination and working through identity-related issues.

As a Japanese American woman who has lived in the South throughout my life, I find myself on a journey of searching for who I am and what it means to show up just as I am in the world around me. I am deeply drawn to working with people who are searching for their authentic self through a therapeutic relationship. This may mean working with personal or generational trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, relationships, cultural identity, gender, sexuality, and so much more. I truly believe in the capabilities of everyone I work with and believe that you are the expert of your own life; I am here to walk with you on your journey.

Have you been feeling stuck lately? When things feel unstable or uncertain, we tend to hide behind protective behaviors that we learn over time. While they serve a function in the present, if we stay there, they can keep us from fulfilling lives and relationships. Whether you’re lost in grief, caught up in an unproductive cycle within your relationships, or struggling to bridge the gap between you and your partner, feeling stuck can be an isolating and lonely experience. My passion is to help individuals and couples break free from the cycles, roles, and patterns keeping them disconnected from others.

Fabolous once stated "I am a movement by myself, but I am a force when we're together". I am looking to assist individuals ready to become a force. Willing to become the pioneers of their lives and take full control of their destiny. I am a true believer that when equipped with the right knowledge and resources individuals can overcome any obstacle faced. I will aid as a support providing therapeutic tools and evidence-based practices. Most of the people I have assisted come from vulnerable populations impacted by poverty, incarceration, substance use, and all other forms of abuse.

No one is exempt from hardship, struggle, stress or difficulty. In this life we all experience situations and circumstances that are at times beyond our control. I wholeheartedly believe that we are all born with the ability to heal ourselves but that at times we could use a helping hand. Everyone needs a safe supportive space that will allow them to reconnect with themselves. Everyone needs a place that nurtures a sense of emotional well-being and that will allow them to more openly explore pain, release blocks and heal wounds. Nashville Emotional Wellness (NEW) Counseling is this place.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in treating children and adolescents. I have been working with children for over 20 years and truly enjoy seeing children move from timid and anxious to confident and self assured. I can help kids deal with divorce, death, abuse, anxiety and many other issues that affect children and adolescents. I will help them to be better at dealing with life as it comes to them and to be more assured when things get hard. I am a Consultant with EMDR which is trauma therapy. I also see adults for EMDR as well with children and adolescents.

Using an attachment-focused lens, I work with clients to improve communication and connection in their relationships.

BIPOC therapist - couples therapy and individual therapy. I come from a multicultural and bilingual background. I’m particularly interested in working with marginalized populations. Clients like you scroll profiles to find a therapist that might get them. At least a little. You need help in the major things of life (relationships, transitions, hardships). When you look for a therapist, you need someone that knows what it’s like to be a person of color. That gives some safety and reassurance. In order to really open up - you have to find the right fit.

My goal as a therapist is to guide you in finding your innate capacity for healing so that you can work through the things getting in the way of being the fullest, most authentic version of yourself. Whether that’s trauma, a complicated relationship with food/body image, sexual challenges, creative blocks, navigating neurodivergence, relational challenges, navigating LGBTQ+ related issues, or navigating the stress of working in the creative/entertainment/music industries, I’m here to support you in building a life you can truly enjoy and thrive in, not just survive.

All are welcome here! I'm dedicated to supporting clients of all ages through a variety of areas, including dissociative disorders (DID/systems), complex trauma, developmental/relational trauma, self-esteem struggles, life transitions, and dysfunctional family systems. While survival strategies may have been effective in the past, therapy provides a platform to explore new pathways to healing. I trust in every client's innate creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience, offering support and connection while navigating this journey. Together, we'll cultivate resources for growth and empowerment.

Let’s be real; life as a teenager or young adult is complex and hard enough as it is. Add to that the confusion about who you are as a mixed race individual; the frustration of being directly or indirectly labeled “the black girl” in a predominantly white school; or the pressure that comes with being a student athlete trying to balance life on and off the court. The weight of it all can become too heavy to carry alone!

My areas of special clinical interest include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life transitions, work/life balance, self-esteem, self-worth issues, parent-child conflict, relationship conflict, and premarital therapy. I have a special interest in working with adolescents and young adults who are navigating periods of self-discovery and life adjustments.

It takes a brave person to recognize that they want more in life; it takes a courageous person to go after that. Trauma, regardless of where it stems from, alters all areas of life including how we see ourselves, others, and the world, how we relate, how we feel in our bodies, how we express emotions, how we think, and our personal sense of safety and autonomy in the world. We desire to help you resolve the experiences that resulted in trauma and recover from the impact trauma has had on your life.

My goal, as a therapist, is to support clients in confronting personal challenges and discover the personal skills they have within themselves needed to thrive! I work with young adults (people in their 20's), adolescents, and children. Together, we can discover new and healthy ways of moving through the world that work best for you! -> Monday, Thursday, & Friday, I work at Nashville Therapy Group at the Hillsboro location ->Tuesday and Wednesday I work at Shelby Phillips Counseing at the Franklin location

My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, trusting, and collaborative environment for clients to work through difficult experiences and achieve growth. I honor the uniqueness of each client and provide a space in which they can explore how their past experiences may be impacting their current relationships, thought patterns, and view of themselves. Whether you are dealing with a traumatic experience, anxiety, disordered eating, or are just feeling “stuck,” together we will work to enhance your ability to cope, so that you can achieve a more balanced and fulfilled life.

I've spent the earlier parts of my career providing restorative therapy through leisure, recreation and expressive arts with children, adolescents and adults. I have recently been working with client experiencing crisis and connecting them with support and resources to aid in coping and stabilization. I believe in a collaborative partnership and meeting you where you are.
