I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been practicing for 8 years. I want to make sure that clients feel comfortable and open when meeting with me. I believe that building rapport is what creates a strong therapeutic alliance which is important to me.
Hi, I’m Lauren, an LCSW providing sex therapy via telehealth in Tennessee and Virginia. I help individuals and couples work through concerns like desire differences, performance anxiety, pain with sex, and sexual communication. My approach is nonjudgmental, practical, and affirming. If you want a safe space to talk about sex, I’d love to help.
You deserve to feel seen, accepted, and understood—exactly as you are. I offer a safe, affirming, and judgment-free space where you can explore your identity, express your true self, and find relief from the weight of life’s challenges.
For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they work toward healing, growth, and change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor, and Substance Abuse Professional, I bring both deep clinical knowledge and a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy.
I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s most personal challenges—including relationship and intimacy concerns, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, and mental health struggles. I also provide substance abuse treatment, DOT/SAP evaluations, and recovery support using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, the Duluth Model, and the Matrix Model.
I have a special commitment to serving Black communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people living with HIV, re-entry populations, sex workers, and youth facing challenges. I understand how personal, cultural, and systemic factors shape each person’s story, and I create a safe, affirming space where clients feel truly seen and heard.
In our sessions, you can expect a respectful, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—we’ll set goals together, explore what’s holding you back, and develop practical strategies you can use in daily life a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to invest in your personal growth, I’m here to help you take that next step.

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.
