Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out! Do you ever have those days when things are especially difficult?? When "Life is Lifing" as we say?? Many of the people that I meet and work with are looking for support with mental health, substance abuse, and/or management of traumatic events. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I'm also a Mom of three and a dog Mom of two who likes to practice what I preach in my own life. As a strong believer in the mental/physical health connection, a lot of my focus is incorporating integrated health into our treatment approach. I also support an intimate hospice team in my area so I am comfortable having uncomfortable conversations about life. If you are interesting in giving therapy a shot, or just learning a bit more about my approach, feel free to reach out and we'll see where it takes us.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Nashville

Finding the right addiction therapist in Nashville starts with clarifying the type of support you need. If you're looking for help with substance use, alcohol use, or a behavioral addiction, a licensed therapist or psychiatrist with training in addiction can work with you on approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Some providers also offer medication management alongside talk therapy, which can be especially relevant for substance use concerns.

Nashville has a wide range of mental health providers, from East Nashville to Bellevue to surrounding areas like Franklin and Murfreesboro. When comparing providers, consider their specialty experience, whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions, and how their approach aligns with your goals. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.

Addiction therapy in Nashville can be costly out of pocket, but using in-network insurance coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book — and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans. Enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Nashville and to see your estimated costs.
