Are you tired of carrying things that are just too heavy for you to carry alone anymore? As a licensed professional counselor, I can help you carry that load. In my 12 years as a counselor, I've worked with families, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in homes, outpatient offices, and online. I have a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, and have taught in graduate counseling programs, but my first love is working directly with individuals who are dealing with the effects of trauma, grief, burnout, or anxiety. I am a Christian and would be happy to incorporate your spiritual beliefs, whether Christian or not, into our work together, if desired.

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 Therapist in Tennessee

Finding the right therapist in Tennessee starts with getting clear on what kind of care you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, PTSD, or something else, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a real difference. Tennessee-licensed therapists may hold credentials such as LPC-MHSP, LCSW, LMFT, or Psychologist, and psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners are also available for medication management.

With providers practicing in Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Murfreesboro, Clarksville, and across the state, you have options for both in-person and virtual sessions. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, areas of focus, and what a session with them looks like — so you can feel confident before your first appointment.

Therapy in Tennessee can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to reduce costs. 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 upfront, so you know what to expect before you book.
