Clients should know that I believe therapy works best when it is built on trust, honesty, and collaboration. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported while we work together toward meaningful change. As a counselor and Navy veteran, I value integrity, perseverance, and service to others. I also respect the role that personal values and faith can play in someone’s life and am comfortable incorporating those perspectives into counseling when it is important to the client.
Hi, I’m Alyson—a behavioral health professional who believes that thoughtful care starts with clear communication and compassionate support. I specialize in making therapy approachable and effective through well-crafted documentation, creative client resources, and collaborative care planning.
I’m especially passionate about integrating tools like pharmacogenomic testing and psychoeducation to help clients make informed choices about their care. If you’re looking for someone who values both structure and heart in the therapy process, I’m here to support you.
I have experience working with both adults and children on various challenges, including: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting, and more!

I am a licensed counselor in Georgia and Tennessee with over 25 years of professional counseling experience. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work in 1992 and my Master’s Degree in Community Counseling from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 2000.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Nashville
Finding the right therapist in Nashville starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your specific concerns can make a real difference. Nashville is home to a wide range of licensed therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists — including providers trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and other approaches.
Beyond clinical fit, practical details matter too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions at a Nashville office or virtual appointments from home, and look for a provider whose availability works with your schedule. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they feel like the right match.
Therapy in Nashville can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use your in-network benefits. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, so you know what to expect.
