"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." - Heraclitus I love that quote because it reminds me that change is inevitable. I am a Grief and Loss Educator and Counselor specializing in healing loss stemming from broken dreams, broken hearts and broken relationships. From these breaks comes possible depression, anxiety and trauma. I believe that YOU are the expert in your life and my job is to come alongside in helping you discover your inner strength to find peace and meaning in a world that can be painful and sometimes doesn't make sense. My name is Tedi Newman and I'm from a small town in Northeast Tennessee, I was able to travel the world with corporate America before discovering a passionate career in counseling in my early 40s. Since getting my Masters in Counseling, I have worked with Grief and Trauma, Pet Loss, Domestic Violence, Foster Care, School Counseling, High Risk Adolescents, Court Mediation for Co-parenting, Individual and Couples Counseling, and Military families. I would be honored to hold your story for our time together.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will discuss what brought you to counseling and what your desired outcome is. We will introduce techniques in mindfulness which will help you stay grounded and in the present for the session.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My strength as your counselor is to be in that space with you, hear your story without judgment and work through your struggles and challenges. We will identify healthy people, places, conversations and ways of coping that will help you manage your reason for coming to therapy.
