Dr. Bridgette Spann-Edwards

Therapist

Virtual • Memphis, TN


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.

Mary Jo Harmon

Therapist

Virtual • Memphis, TN


I’m a therapist based in Memphis who works with high-achieving women navigating anxiety, burnout, identity transitions, and complex relationship dynamics. Many of my clients are successful on the outside and exhausted on the inside. They are often the responsible one, the strong one, the reliable one — and quietly overwhelmed.

My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), an evidence-based model that helps clients understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves — the driven part, the critical part, the anxious part, the part that feels unseen. I am Level 1 trained in IFS and integrate attachment-informed and trauma-responsive care into my practice.

Find the right therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Sparta

Searching for therapists in Sparta starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match what you want to work on. A therapist’s profile can help you understand their style, areas of focus, and what sessions may be like before you book.

In a smaller city like Sparta, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Tennessee markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Tennessee. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios closely can also help you compare communication style, background, and approach.

Therapy in Sparta 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 your first session. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your coverage, and show an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book, so you can review profiles, compare fit, and schedule directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
