Hi there. I feel very lucky to be able to help others achieve the life they are yearning to have. I use CBT, DBT, and ACT with individuals so they can better understand themselves, identify the barriers that are leading to their frustrations and feelings of anxiety and depression and identify solutions to overcome these barriers. Then clients can find the joy and peace they most desire in their lives.

You’re used to handling a lot. Whether it’s your career, your relationships, or being the person others rely on, you’ve learned how to push through—even when it’s exhausting. But at some point, pushing through stops working. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, and relationship patterns—especially when life looks “together” on the outside but feels overwhelming or unsustainable underneath. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware, yet find themselves stuck in cycles like overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from themselves or others. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and attachment-based work. In our sessions, we’ll look at both the deeper patterns shaping your experiences and the practical strategies that help you feel better day-to-day. Clients often come to therapy wanting relief from constant stress or mental overload. Over time, they develop a clearer understanding of themselves, stronger boundaries, and the ability to respond to challenges with more focus and confidence. I’m active and engaged in the therapy process. I won’t just sit back and listen. I help you connect the dots, notice patterns in real time, and build tools that actually translate into your daily life. I bring 5 years of experience in community mental health, working with children, adolescents, and adults. Clients often describe me as calm, steady, and easy to talk to—while also helping them move forward in meaningful ways.

Hi there! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with six years of experience working across a variety of mental health settings. Originally from Belzoni, Mississippi, I bring both professional expertise and a strong sense of community into my work. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new restaurants, traveling, and spending quality time with family and friends. These experiences help me stay grounded and connected, which I carry into my counseling practice. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and nurturing environment where clients feel supported as they learn, heal, and grow at their own pace. I believe that one of the most important aspects of counseling is the relationship between therapist and client, and I am committed to building a trusting, collaborative connection with each person I work with.

My approach is warm, direct, and insight-driven.

I’m neurodiversity-affirming and experienced in differentiating anxiety, burnout, ADHD, and sensory or social overwhelm. With parents, I focus on helping you understand your child more clearly and respond in ways that actually work—so things feel more manageable at home.

Hello and welcome. It means a lot that you’ve taken this step. Every person carries such a unique story shaped by resilience and strength. Sometimes, those stories can feel heavy or overwhelming, and we may find ourselves needing a space to breathe and process. My hope is to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard and empowered to heal. In our work together, I take a compassionate and collaborative approach that meets you where you are, supporting you in working through current challenges while building toward the future that is possible. I typically practice in the Solution-Focused umbrella, incorporating Narrative Therapy into my work. Solution-Focused Therapy helps you identify your strengths and move toward your goals; while Narrative Therapy encourages exploring one’s personal story from the past, separating the individual from their problems, and envisioning how you want your story to continue. My experience consists of helping clients with family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, mood disorders, anxiety, and depression. I have taught parenting classes for many years, which allowed me to help parents strengthen their relationships with their children and build more confident, nurturing connections. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the challenges families and individuals face, and reinforced my commitment to supporting each person’s unique journey toward healing and growth. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, with 13 of those years dedicated to being a therapist. I am licensed to provide therapy to individuals across the state of Tennessee. It’s truly an honor to support people as they reconnect with themselves, rediscover hope, and move toward healing. Supporting others through life’s challenges is deeply fulfilling work, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be present with you on your journey.

Hi. My name is Deborah Vaughn and I have dedicated my life to making your life better. I have laughed and I have loved. I have cried and I have lost. I have experienced anxiety and depression, poverty and wealth. I have had beauty and acceptance, age and neglect. I have given birth to four children, two that were incarcerated for crimes, and I have had them brought back to me renewed again in life. I've been sad and lonely and I have been on top of the mountain singing praises to the God of the Universe. Experiences, I've had too many to number, both good and bad, and I have learned from each and every one. Empathy I have for all, because I too have probably been there, or I could have been there easily enough. I have saved them all in my mind and heart so that I can help you through any of them you might need my help with. Sincerely, Deborah

Basically, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have a background of working with individuals but due to my family therapy training I do want to know your family situation and ways that work and don't work for you. I have been working with Medicare clients and SPMI (Severe and Persistent Mental Illness). Many time I have found that clients who usually manage their lives well can sometimes feel overwhelmed by changes that occur in their lives. I truly want to locate and focus on strengths, but want to be supportive of areas where support is needed. Life can be difficult and learning coping skills can help us navigate both the highs and lows that life brings us. If needed, I guide individual to explore and analysis their past. I am friendly and positive. I want to help you feel better. If there are traumas, I will listen. 🛷

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
