Mary Jo Harmon

Mary Jo Harmon

Therapist

Virtual • Memphis, TN


I’m a therapist based in Memphis who works with high-achieving women navigating anxiety, burnout, identity transitions, and complex relationship dynamics. Many of my clients are successful on the outside and exhausted on the inside. They are often the responsible one, the strong one, the reliable one — and quietly overwhelmed.

My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), an evidence-based model that helps clients understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves — the driven part, the critical part, the anxious part, the part that feels unseen. I am Level 1 trained in IFS and integrate attachment-informed and trauma-responsive care into my practice.

Tommy South

Therapist

Virtual • Johnson City, TN


You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, past experiences, or relationship conflict that still affect how you show up in daily life and relationships. Many people reach out for therapy when trauma, depression, grief, or substance use begins to feel too heavy to manage alone. You may feel stuck in patterns of anger, conflict, or emotional pain and want a safe place to talk honestly about what’s going on. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and begin finding healthier ways to cope and move forward. I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, understood, and respected.

Michael Stravato

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Gallatin, TN


I specialize in working with teens and adults navigating anxiety, divorce recovery, complicated family dynamics, and challenging or painful relationships. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and used to “holding it together”—but internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they can’t quite shift.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, talked at, or like therapy just didn’t “click,” we’ll move at a pace and in a way that actually fits you. I attended the University of Louisiana at Monroe and graduated in 1996 with my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy.
