Shelby White

Shelby White

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi there. I’m Shelby White, LCSW, an attachment-focused therapist who sees individuals and couples in-person in Austin, Texas and virtually throughout Texas and Tennessee.

You may be highly self-aware and outwardly successful, yet feel disconnected, unseen, or stuck in old relational patterns. Like many of my clients, you may be experiencing all the confusion that comes with healing from narcissistic abuse or attachment-based trauma and yearn for more than tools to “do better”. My goal is to provide you with a space to be fully known.

I work with successful professionals and creatives seeking deeper connection, emotional freedom, and a life that feels aligned—not just productive.

If you’re ready to break out of old patterns that were developed to keep you safe in the past, you’re in the right spot. Together, we can forge a path toward the version of you that you’ve longed to become.

I offer deep work for people ready to live fully.

Remington Vandergriff

Remington Vandergriff

Therapist

Virtual • Clarksville, TN


I’m Remington Vandergriff, LCSW, BCD, CCTP, a medically retired U.S. Army Major, owner of Bonafide Therapeutic Alliance, a virtual-only practice serving clients across TN. With 12+ years of experience, I specialize in men’s mental health, Veteran issues, & LCSW supervision.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices. I do not provide couples or family therapy.

That said, I believe that true healing comes from a strong therapeutic alliance, not just the treatment model or credentials. My clients often describe feeling at ease, heard, and genuinely understood, which forms the foundation for meaningful change.

Life can feel overwhelming at times and even taking that first step of calling a therapist can seem insurmountable. The stigma of seeking care can be difficult to ignore. Feel free to send a text or email if a call isn't in the cards right now. I've been in that dark cave, and I know the way out, I hope you'll reach out so I can be of aid.

________________________________________________

Hi, I’m Sally Summers, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy for adults, teens, and children, with a focus on ADHD, anxiety, panic disorder, depression, PTSD, bipolar and mood disorders, and stress-related burnout.

My background includes a degree in Psychology and two graduate degrees in Nursing with a specialization in psychiatry. I take a thoughtful, individualized approach to care- combining evidence-based treatment with a deeper understanding of how your symptoms, lifestyle, and stressors all connect.

Sessions are collaborative, focused, and designed to give you both clarity and direction. You’ll have space to be open and understood, while also gaining practical tools and a treatment plan that actually fits your day-to-day life.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, difficulty focusing, mood changes, or feeling stuck, my goal is to help you feel more steady, confident, and in control- not just in the moment, but long-term.

Happy patient looking away

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.
