Tandy Jackson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 22 mi away • Nashville, TN


Hi, my name is Tandy Jackson. I hold an LPC-MHSP license in the state of Tennessee and have 5 years of experience working with clients for various issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, coping strategies, relational issues, emotional issues, and trauma. My practice involves a combination of humor, compassion, challenge, and encouragement as I walk with clients on their journey to learn more about themselves and take the risk of trying new things--first in the therapeutic relationship then extending into their lives outside of session.

I know that reaching out for help often feels like the hardest part. My goal is to make our first steps together feel safe, steady, and deeply human. I don’t just see a "client"—I see a person with a unique story, incredible resilience, and a longing to feel like themselves again. In our space, there is no judgment, only room for you to breathe and be heard.

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.

Hi there! I’m Jared, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in the intersection of high-performance or achievement and authentic identity. To the outside world, you may appear to "have it all together," yet internally, you may be battling the exhaustion of burnout or the weight of expectations that have stripped the joy from your relationships. I provide a supportive, objective space to help you navigate these pressures. You are the expert on your life; my role is to provide the clinical strategy and partnership to help you reclaim your peace and thrive—both personally and professionally. I believe fundamentally that you already have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you - and they may not be limited to the first ones that come to mind.
