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

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.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.8 mi away • Brentwood, TN


Hi! I'm Ariel, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 8 years of experience. My professional career has centered around supporting individuals with a variety of issues bringing them to therapy. Many of the challenges that bring people to therapy show up most clearly in their relationships. Whether you’re dating, building new friendships, navigating a long-term partnership, healing after a breakup, or adjusting to life as a new mom, relational stress can deeply impact your mental health. You might find yourself overthinking texts, fearing rejection, pulling away when things get close, choosing emotionally unavailable partners, or struggling to maintain meaningful friendships. As a new mom, you might notice shifts in your identity, changes in intimacy, resentment around the mental load, or feeling unseen and unsupported. These patterns can feel frustrating, confusing, and lonely.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 18 mi away • Smyrna, TN


I believe that meaningful change happens in the context of safe, authentic relationships. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, or relationship challenges, my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and challenged in ways that promote lasting growth.

I earned my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and work with adults, couples, and families. While relationships are a primary area of focus, I also work with individuals facing attachment wounds, overwhelming stress, emotional disconnection, and patterns that leave them feeling stuck. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. Rather than simply helping you manage symptoms, I want to help you understand what is driving them so meaningful change becomes possible.

Virtual & in-person • 15 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.***
