Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), alumni/graduate of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (2002, 2004). Over the years, I’ve provided therapy and coaching to diverse populations, drawing from my background as a former coach, athlete, and ministry/chaplain to offer a grounded, relational, and purpose-driven approach to care. My style is empathetic, compassionate, and engaging — blending clinical expertise with coaching, accountability, and practical tools to meet clients where they are. I take a holistic approach to wellness, addressing mental, physical, and spiritual health, with a specialization in Faith-Based (Judeo - Christian) integration. Neurodivergent-friendly and committed to creating a respectful, supportive space for growth and healing, including for First Responders, those in Ministry, or dealing with Religious, Spiritual Abuse, and Trauma. Please read the full description before booking. Thank you for your consideration — I look forward to the possibility of working together. כֹּ֣ל הַ֭נְּשָׁמָה תְּהַלֵּ֥ל יָ֗הּ הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our Initial Consultation, we typically cover the confidentiality policy, scheduling policies, followed by a discussion of therapy goals, to delve into the client's concerns. From here, we will discuss the Holistic model, to gain insight into my approach, ensuring alignment with their needs. Together, we'll assess if it's a "good fit." IF so, scheduling is encouraged and a homework assignment given, before offering a closing prayer out the door. *Please be sure to review my profile and description carefully before scheduling an initial consultation to confirm awareness of services and services offered.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

The holistic approach empowers clients to pursue optimal mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. As a provider, I collaborate with clients and meet them where they are on their journey to becoming healthier versions of themselves.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My therapeutic approach integrates faith-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a holistic, whole-person framework, helping clients cultivate renewal in mind, body, and spirit. While rooted in evidence-based practice, I draw upon experiential, somatic, and spiritual elements to promote genuine transformation and balance. Clients are supported through structured CBT tools, reflective assignments, and practical coaching to deepen awareness and sustain growth between sessions. Compassion, accountability, and authenticity form the foundation of our work together — empowering clients to uncover their true identity, align with their values, and walk in greater peace and purpose.

Trauma Informed Care

Faith based therapy

As a Holistic Provider, I collaborate with the Client to explore where the Psychology is Integrated with the Theology. This is not legalism, or ultra - judgemental - ism, but having a faith informed approach to improve overall sense of self and well being in a grace oriented, and God honoring way.

I really appreciated the feedback that I received from Nate in our sessions. He is very authentic as well as a great communicator. He gave me the time to completely gather my thoughts and emotions before I responded to questions, without interrupting me or assuming what he THOUGHT I was saying. Never made me feel rushed or uncomfortable and I love his holistic approach. My sessions with him are actually what led me towards deciding to go to a detox/rehab facility. Shared resources as requested.

I’d give Dr. Macolly 10 stars if I could. He is a Godsend. I am grieving the death of my ex boyfriend. It’s the hardest time of my life & I began experiencing severe anxiety/depression. Dr. Macolly gets through to me in a way no one has before and my anxiety symptoms reduced significantly! Every session he gives real, applicable advice. The difference from a month ago to now is night and day. He’s kind, empathetic and the best support. His guidance/advice makes me smile even in difficult times.
