LPC/MHSP, 10 years of experience
Hello, I'm Lela. Have you been feeling all out of sorts lately? Has it been exhausting trying to figure out what's wrong? Is your relationship different but you just can put your finger on it? Together we can figure out what factors might be contributing to these unanswered questions and more. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or just plain "life" itself, I can assist you with finding solutions and/or coping skills to help you manage many areas of concern. While the thought of therapy can sometimes seem scary, you usually find it to be the right choice. I am licensed in Tennessee with 10+ years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
Your first session will likely involve me asking you a lot of questions about you, how you cope, and your symptoms (it's basically an interview). We may also chat about your goals for therapy, expectations, and more.
I bring 100% transparency to our therapeutic relationship and it would benefit clients for them to do the same. While I am equipped to utilize many treatment methods; I find that the person-centered approach is highly favored when working with my clients.
I have a knack for a personal interest in my clients. I believe that a genuine relationship with clear boundaries, sets the stage for a successful outcome.

I absolutely loved Lela. She was direct, but compassionate. She was down-to-earth and easy to talk to. She always offered the truth in a palatable manner. I am gutted that I can no longer see her due to insurance issues.

Lela is the best therapist that I have ever dealt with. She is everything a person needs that sees issues from a different perspective. I like direct and to the point even if I don't want to hear it, but she is so funny, intelligent, authentic, she challenges me, focuses on solutions on what I am dealing with. She is perfect for me, and I cannot imagine seeing any other therapist. She is AMAZING!!!!
