Many people come to therapy because something in their relationships isn’t working—conflict that keeps repeating, difficulty feeling close, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or others. Beneath these patterns, there is often something deeper: old wounds, protective strategies, and unmet longings that continue to shape how we show up in the present.

Steven Estes

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.

Find the right couples therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Nashville, TN

Finding couples therapists in Nashville starts with knowing what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy, marriage counseling, and relationship counseling can support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, parenting disagreements, and major life transitions. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties and training match your needs. Licensed marriage and family therapists, as well as therapists trained in couples approaches like the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy, may be a strong fit for relationship-focused care.

Nashville has many therapy options across neighborhoods and nearby areas, which can make the search feel broad at first. The right fit also needs to work for both partners’ schedules, preferences, and appointment format. Some couples prefer an in-person office, while others choose virtual sessions to make shared scheduling easier. As you compare Nashville couples counseling options, review therapist bios for details on their communication style, session structure, availability, and whether they offer a brief consultation to talk through fit before booking.

Couples therapy in Nashville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find Nashville therapists who offer couples counseling and have openings for new clients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. You can compare profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
