Maddy Egner

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 27 mi away • Mt. Juliet, TN


Hi, I’m Maddy Egner, LPC-MHSP. I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My approach is person-centered, meaning I meet you where you are and tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals. I also believe humor can be healing — even in the midst of hard things — and I strive to create a space that feels both safe and authentic. A little laughter and (when appropriate) dark humor can really help us shift, take action, and grow.

I earned my degree from West Texas A&M University and am licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor – Mental Health Service Provider in Tennessee. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

***Please note, I only offer in person sessions on Mondays. I offer telehealth sessions Tuesday and Thursday. All initial free 15 consultations will be done via phone call.***

Samuel Adler

Samuel Adler

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Tennessee


I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with six years of experience helping adults navigate ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety, substance use concerns, and personality disorders. I trained at Vanderbilt University School of Nursing and have a background in neuroscience research, which shapes my practical, brain-based approach to care.

I believe people do best when they’re treated as whole humans—not just a diagnosis. I enjoy breaking down complex mental health concepts into clear, bite-sized explanations so patients understand why they feel the way they do and how treatment helps. My style is collaborative, direct, and supportive.

I’m comfortable working with complex or long-standing symptoms and don’t shy away from difficult cases. I also enjoy working with creatives in the Nashville community and understand the unique pressures that can come with creative work. My goal is to help patients feel empowered, informed, and supported as they move toward meaningful, sustainable change.

What is your approach to therapy?

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and guided by your strengths with a touch of humor and curiosity along the way. I believe real, meaningful change happens when you feel safe, heard, and empowered. Together, we’ll work on managing challenges, building resilience, and creating lasting changes that support your overall well-being.

We’ll celebrate your wins, big and small, and explore the tougher moments with care and understanding—so you never have to face them alone.

What can clients expect from their first session with you?

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know one another. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and it’s okay to feel unsure or nervous. There’s no pressure to know exactly what to say or where to begin.

I believe therapy works best when there’s a strong, trusting relationship, so comfort and fit are important. During our first session, we’ll focus on building that connection and identifying goals together, so your therapy experience feels supportive, collaborative, and centered on you.

Hi there! I’m Jared, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in the intersection of high-performance or achievement and authentic identity.
