Do you feel stuck? Does your mind play the same mental record over and again? Do you know what you "should" do but just can't make yourself do it? Have you tried traditional talk therapy and not gotten the help you needed? I encourage you to try therapies that target the mind-body connection to release yourself from these binds. I offer clients Brain Spotting, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) in addition to traditional talk therapy. These therapies are evidence-based, efficient, and powerfully effective. We are designed to heal but we need help to activate these resources.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Tennessee. I am also licensed in the states of UT and NE. I have been in practice for 15 years. I love working with clients who are genuinely seeking therapy for their own growth and awareness. I enjoy helping clients who want to take a deeper look at behaviors and relationships in their lives that could be modified and or improved. I started my career in community mental health working with individuals who were suffering from addiction, childhood trauma, family conflict, and faith crisis. I feel like I have learned the true impact addiction, poverty, trauma, and abuse can have on an individual and family system. This has helped me create space for clients to feel safe, heard, valued, and respected in our sessions. I look forward to meeting you!

Lindsey Pemberton

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Chattanooga, TN


I believe meaningful change starts with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or unsure of how to move forward—and that’s okay. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy.

I work with individuals who are navigating challenges like anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and emotional ups and downs. If you often feel like your emotions are hard to manage or situations become overwhelming quickly, you’re not alone, and there are ways to build more balance and control.

My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment, while also helping you develop the skills to better cope, communicate, and move forward with confidence. Therapy with me is not just about talking, it’s about learning practical tools and creating real, lasting change.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Murfreesboro, TN

Searching for therapists in Murfreesboro starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. People often look for therapy in Murfreesboro, TN for concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or family therapy. A therapist’s profile can also help you understand their style, focus areas, and what sessions may look like.

Murfreesboro has local therapy options across areas like Downtown, Northgate, and nearby neighborhoods, while virtual appointments can expand your options across Tennessee. If an in-person office fits your routine, consider location, parking, and how often you plan to attend sessions. If your schedule changes often, a therapist with virtual availability may be a better fit. You can also narrow your search by appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, therapeutic approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.

Therapy in Murfreesboro can be a significant cost without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans and are accepting new clients. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book, then review therapist bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
