This is a no Judgement Zone!! There are no silly, stupid, dumb, crazy, or ignorant questions. We talk about anything you want and nothing you do not wish to.

Do you feel stuck? Does your mind play the same mental record over and again? Do you know what you "should" do but just can't make yourself do it? Have you tried traditional talk therapy and not gotten the help you needed? I encourage you to try therapies that target the mind-body connection to release yourself from these binds. I offer clients Brain Spotting, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) in addition to traditional talk therapy. These therapies are evidence-based, efficient, and powerfully effective. We are designed to heal but we need help to activate these resources.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Tennessee. I am also licensed in the states of UT and NE. I have been in practice for 15 years. I love working with clients who are genuinely seeking therapy for their own growth and awareness. I enjoy helping clients who want to take a deeper look at behaviors and relationships in their lives that could be modified and or improved. I started my career in community mental health working with individuals who were suffering from addiction, childhood trauma, family conflict, and faith crisis. I feel like I have learned the true impact addiction, poverty, trauma, and abuse can have on an individual and family system. This has helped me create space for clients to feel safe, heard, valued, and respected in our sessions. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi, I'm Elisa Gitan, a therapist and acupuncturist based out of Nashville, TN. I completed my degree at University of Denver, followed by specialized training in forensics and trauma. I studied with Dr. Robert Hare, the expert in psychopaths which inspired me to work with trauma victims.

I am also hold a Masters of Science in Oriental medicine. I have a strong medical knowledge and interest in integrating mind body therapies.

I believe we are meant to expand and grow throughout the course of our lives. I enjoy helping others overcome barriers and harness their personal power and strengths, to live quality lives.

As an expert in the trauma field, I offer science backed approaches and treatments. Focusing on your own resiliency and strengths, I treat therapy as a collaborative process.
