Feeling overwhelmed by pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, or the many transitions of life? Struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, or coping with chronic illness? Experiencing infidelity, feeling disconnected, stuck, or lacking trust and intimacy with your partner? Or hey, maybe you’re just really freaking tired from carrying it all.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
I’m Destinee, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) therapist providing compassionate, trauma-informed virtual therapy to clients across Tennessee. I specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, and culturally sensitive care tailored to your unique identity and experience.
As a PMH-C therapist, I also offer support to adults, teens, and couples navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic illness, identity, trauma, stress, grief, infidelity and relationship challenges. With years of experience in psychiatric hospitals, medical settings like the PICU and NICU, private practice, schools, and grief support groups, I bring a well-rounded, expert approach to your mental health care. My couples counseling is self-pay only, at a rate of $170.
Hi and welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Tennessee, New York, and PSYPact states. I have extensive experience working with a variety of presenting issues, but am passionate about working with individuals on how they show up in relationships, particularly when that feels difficult, confusing, or overwhelming. This might look like noticing unhelpful patterns in your relationships but struggling to change it. Perhaps you have a hard time speaking up or setting boundaries, or become easily irritated with others and later feeling upset with yourself. If this is you, we would likely be a strong fit!
I specialize in working with parents, law enforcement and military professionals, and trans/GNC populations.
I am currently providing virtual sessions only.
Please note I am no longer accepting couples therapy clients.
I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, collaborative, and human. I bring empathy, a sense of humor, and a strong focus on building a genuine therapeutic connection. I also believe you should set the pace for counseling — this is your space, and we move in a way that feels right for you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Memphis
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Memphis starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, or the emotional impact of discrimination, a provider who understands LGBTQIA+ experiences can make a meaningful difference. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who specifically lists LGBTQIA+ affirming care as a specialty, not just a general category.
Beyond credentials, consider what matters most to you in a provider. Reading a detailed bio can help you understand a therapist's approach, background, and the types of concerns they work with most often. Practical factors like session format (in-person or virtual), availability, and location within Memphis also matter — especially if you're balancing a busy schedule. A free phone consultation, when available, gives you a chance to ask questions and see if the provider feels like a good match before committing to a full session.
Therapy in Memphis can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. Checking your insurance benefits before booking is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
