Hello, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee. I received my Masters from the University of Memphis and have been practicing for 7 years. I provide individual and group psychotherapy to a broad range of clients. I have been based full-time in a hospital-setting as well as private tele-health services. My services range from brief solution based to more long-term care for serious mental health challenges. I incorporate evidenced-based techniques with humor, psycho education, compassion and when applicable spiritual/Christian beliefs. I was a licensed professional school counselor with a prek to 12th grade endorsement for ten years in the State of Tennessee. In addition to working with adults I also continue to enjoy working with children 12 years through late teens.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I am an active listener, respectful and empathetic to my clients needs. I love to use humor to lighten difficult circumstances. I enjoy exploring problems, issues, situations and encouraging the client to identify supportive resources and developing plan of actions. I use clinical homework also as a way to encourage client to create a toolbox of strategies to use after our sessions have ended.
I enjoy working with clients who desire to improve their quality of life and understand the importance of incorporating techniques discussed in session are to be applied in every day life. My clients welcome clinical homework and are looking to gain skills, tools and strategies that will empower them to live their best life long after they are no longer working with me.

10/10 experience. Ms. Thomas is very professional and solution-oriented all while providing a supportive judgement free environment. Through just one session she showed how compassionate she is with direct and clear communication which is just what I was looking for during my selection. She is very invested in helping her clients succeed and I would confidently recommend her services to anyone seeking professional and personal growth and support.
