Hello, and welcome. Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or simply wanting things to feel more manageable again. My goal is to offer a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’re experiencing.

I take a collaborative, supportive approach to therapy and work to meet you where you are. Together, we focus on understanding patterns, building emotional awareness, and developing practical tools that help you feel more grounded and confident in your daily life. Therapy with me is not about judgment or pressure—it’s about clarity, growth, and meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

Welcome! If you are looking for a therapist that is easy to talk to, makes you feel at ease, and has over 17 years of experience and expertise.... you found one! Seeking out a therapist is not a sign of weakness, it indicates that you have been dealing with stressors and/or losses, that have become too much for you to manage on your own.

Victoria Cruse Motter

I began my career as an elementary school teacher and later went on to open and run a preschool for 10 years. Working with children and families during those seasons taught me so much about resilience, connection, and the power of being truly seen.

I was a late starter in my own therapy journey, and it was one of the bravest and most life-changing decisions I’ve ever made. Through the support of incredible therapists, I was finally able to face and heal the traumas I had carried for so long. Their compassion and wisdom inspired me deeply, so much so that I returned to graduate school to become a therapist myself. My desire is simple: to help others in the ways my therapists helped me.

I believe that every person has their own story and lived experiences that shape who they are. I come to each session with an open mind and heart, meeting clients where they are with compassion, curiosity, and respect. My goal is to create a space where people feel safe to explore, heal, and grow.

I’ve been married to my best friend for over 25 years, and together we have an adult daughter and two beloved fur babies. Outside of the therapy room, you’ll most likely find me out in nature, kayaking, walking trails, or simply enjoying the calm. My family and I love playing all kinds of board games, and I also enjoy reading, painting, and watching movies when I need to recharge.

At the heart of everything I do is a deep belief that healing happens in safe, authentic connection and I am honored every time someone invites me to be part of that journey.

Brooke Pate

Are you stuck? Struggling with big feelings? Trouble focusing and staying organized?  I can help! The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
It is often difficult to begin the journey of therapy and I am glad you are considering it. Most people come to therapy hoping to try and fix something in their life that does not seem to be working so well. I will work with you to try and discover what all is going on and how we can work together to help you be the best self you can be. I believe in focusing on building small, easy to learn coping skills and taking consistent baby steps towards your goals.

Roger DeWilde

It's often difficult to know what you want and to pursue what you want. Especially, if broken patterns and negative family cycles are making you feel stagnant. There is an excitement that comes from building your own self-assurance and confidence as you stand securely in the story you want to live. Sometimes we wait to change our story because we don't feel ready. My hope is that we can all have the wisdom and courage to explore ourselves with compassion so that we can better love ourselves and love others. Let's create a foundation that allows us to live balanced personally, professionally, and relationally.

    I am a native Memphian who enjoys spending time with my husband and two daughters. My career as
 a counselor began in the school setting where I served as a middle school counselor. I earned the nickname of "adolescent whisperer" from making deep and meaningful connections with teens and their 
families. 
     I wanted to extend my services beyond the school setting, thus I earned the mental health license 
that allows me to practice outside of the school setting as well. I counsel from the belief that we are all imperfect beings working to navigate life’s challenges. I love to motivate clients to become the best version of themselves while attentively acknowledging their current situation without judgment.

I have experience in assessing clients with coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, anger management, & coping with life changes. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support them in that process.

Sheila Stoner

My work is rooted in the belief that meaningful change begins with feeling understood. You don’t need to have the “right words,” a clear plan, or everything neatly sorted out before you start therapy. You can show up exactly as you are — overwhelmed, hopeful, uncertain, exhausted, curious — and we’ll begin from there.

I specialize in supporting clients who are navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship patterns, and major life transitions. My approach is trauma‑informed, relational, and grounded in evidence‑based practices. I focus on creating a space that feels steady, compassionate, and attuned to your needs, while also offering structure and guidance when you want it. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, make sense of your experiences, and build tools that help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

I see therapy as a collaborative process. You bring your lived experience; I bring clinical expertise and a calm, grounded presence. We work side‑by‑side — not from a place of judgment or pressure, but from a shared commitment to your growth. Whether you’re taking your first step into therapy or returning after time away, my goal is to meet you where you are and walk with you toward where you want to be.

I bring 5 years of experience working in community mental health with children, adolescents, and adult. Clients often describe me as calm, steady, and deeply collaborative. I believe people heal in relationships where they feel understood, respected, and empowered. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. You just have to show up as you are. 


Tommy South

I work with adults who are struggling with effects of trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, and other issues.

Shelby Saliba-Rogers

Welcome! I am Marie Dillinger, a licensed therapist who has been working with individuals, couples and families pursuing counseling for over 17 years. My experience has centered around assisting adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, difficulty adjusting and adapting to the changes they are experiencing in life, grief and trauma. 
The philosophical foundation of my therapy is based on the understanding that what we think influences how we feel which impacts how we behave. Therefore, to change any behavior or feeling we first need to address our thinking. My goal in the counseling process is to assist you in improving the quality of your life by guiding you in how to manage, resolve, and/or reconcile those issues in your life creating difficulty for you.

Marie Dillinger

If you're a woman dealing with anxiety that won't quiet down, burnout that's become your baseline, or a nagging feeling that you've lost yourself somewhere along the way, I'd love to help.

I'm a Licensed Counselor with 7 years of experience, and I specialize in working with adult women through the challenges that don't always get taken seriously: the overwhelm of balancing career and personal life, the self-doubt that shows up no matter how much you accomplish, the depression that hides behind a "high-functioning" exterior, and the stress of navigating major life transitions like new jobs, moves, breakups, or becoming a mother.

I provide telehealth therapy in Florida and Tennessee, making it easy to prioritize your mental health without adding another thing to your to-do list.

My style is warm, direct, and down to earth. I create a space where you don't have to perform or minimize what you're going through. Together, we'll explore the root of what's been holding you back, build coping strategies that fit your real life, and help you reconnect with the version of yourself that feels like you.

Reaching out is the hardest part. If you're here, you're already closer than you think.

Jasmine Madden

As an American Family Therapist, I work from a systemic perspective, focusing on the entire family unit rather than just the individual. My goal is to help families uncover and understand deep-rooted patterns and issues that interfere with healthy communication and connection. Through this process, I support each member in developing more effective ways of relating, resolving conflict, and fostering emotional safety with the family system. I primarily use Dialectical Behavior Therapy and view my work through that lens. This means focusing on mindfulness, expanding tolerance for discomfort, increasing effectiveness in relationships and strengthening emotional regulation. When challenges arise in therapy, I often find that the root of the issue can be addressed through one of these core areas. For clients struggling with post-traumatic stress injuries-particularly common in military populations-I also incorporate Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help them reframe and work through trauma-related beliefs. My approach is structured, evidence-based, and tailored to the needs of each individual or family.

Tammy Ricker

Brene' Brown once wrote "The magic is in the mess". Owning your story is one of the most challenging, yet courageous adventures that we live. You don't have to do it alone. My goals are centered around helping you improve your resiliency, acceptance/contentment with life, reconcile loss/grief, and improve the overall balance of mind/body/spirit needed to enjoy life. Utilizing mindfulness and other techniques, we'll explore ways to improve the way you respond to life's challenges. My approach is holistic and person-centered while providing you the support needed to grow.

Pam Wright

I am a licensed therapist in Arkansas and Tennessee with over 10 years of professional experience. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals as they navigate complex issues such as addiction, trauma, abuse, grief, loss, and bipolar disorder. In addition, I have worked extensively with clients coping with significant life changes, providing them with the tools and support they need to move forward. I am also a Certified Employee Assistance Professional. Therapeutic Approach: I deeply believe that you are the expert of your own story. My role as a therapist is to guide and empower you, helping you unlock the strengths within yourself to overcome the challenges you face. Whether you’re struggling with a traumatic past, working through grief, or learning to cope with the complexities of bipolar disorder or life transitions, I will meet you where you are. I understand that taking the first step toward seeking support takes immense courage, and I honor that bravery. Together, we will work towards uncovering your resilience and build strategies that align with your goals for a happier, more fulfilling life. Empowerment & Support: I aim to provide a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Healing is not a linear process, and facing setbacks is normal, but with support, you can create lasting change. I am here to offer guidance, insight, and encouragement as you take each step towards personal growth and well-being.

Catrina Horn

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.

Melissa Fowler

Hey I'm Mark!  I live in Nashville, Tennessee and I've been in the mental health field for 16 years. I want to break down a few walls. I am gay, I have ADHD, and am a survivor of religious trauma.  I am secular and spiritual.  I work with a lot of clients that share these commonalities.   My main and favorite approach to the healing process is Internal Family Systems.  I've worked in a variety of settings from outpatient counseling centers to high acuity in emergency rooms and psychiatric hospitals.

Many of my clients may describe me as goal directed and liken me to a coach.  I utilize evidence based theories and am well versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),  Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Attachment Based models.  These three theories together are power house combination when it comes to understanding the universal struggle of one's suffering.  They overlap together to provide a foundation for understanding the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors (CBT) that make up the many parts of self (IFS) that are acting out of fear and getting you stuck in loops (Attachment Model). My goal is to help you wake up and remember that you are your own healing agent.  

My motto is:
🌀 Flow like the river
💗 Act from love not fear
🙏 Be a Bodhisattva.

Mark Voyles

Hi im Greg Kirkham! Im a licensed therapist, practicing for over 21 years. I specialize in treating trauma. Now, you may be saying “but I don’t have trauma!” Trauma comes in all shapes and sizes and is often not recognized as such, but almost always has a significant impact on someone’s overall mental, physical and emotional health. Trauma also presents in many different forms, including struggles with depression, anxiety and anger management. Over my career I have worked with an array of populations, including children/families, juvenile sex offenders, and even convicts. Currently, I serve those who served us as a therapist with the VA in middle TN. Over the past seven years, I’ve seen evidence-based treatments work wonders with PTSD and trauma in our veterans. With GrowTherapy, I’m now able to provide these and other treatments to YOU! Whether you’re not real sure or highly motivated to get help, I’d love to discuss options and see if we’re a good fit! Thanks for reading and congratulations on taking the first step towards a healthier and more fulfilling life!

I welcome clients from all backgrounds and issues, helping them develop coping skills and move forward positively. I collaborate with a network of professionals to provide the best care. If I or the client feels I am not the right fit, I will help find someone better suited, without it affecting my self-esteem.

Through my years of practice I have come to understand that the most important factor in having a positive and productive therapy experience is the solid collaboration between the therapist and the patients. In a trusting, confidential and empathic environment one can manage challenging issues and find a way towards self improvement and further growth. I provide support and guidance and encourage self determination to help my client reach goals that are important to them. It's a valuable partnership in which I hope to assist in finding a way to more fulfilling relationships, more satisfaction and greater self esteem.

Erin Armour

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience helping clients. I am a proud ‘Appalachian-American’ that was born and raised deep in the mountains of Upper Northeast TN. 
Although many of my personal life experiences are about what one would expect of someone growing up in East TN (cue BBQ ribs & banjo music🪕), my work experience have been vastly different. I have been quite fortunate to get to work with individuals from quite literally all walks of life. I have worked with clients from preschool to post retirement. Thanks to the internet I have been able to help individuals across the globe, from various cultures, diverse religious beliefs, race, gender spectrums, socioeconomic status, etc. One thing I have learned in my work with all of these individuals is that although each of their stories are unique, ultimately, they all seek/want the same core things. I think much of my success in working with a wide assortment of clients is that I attempt to be open, understanding, curious and cultivate a nonjudgmental atmosphere for our sessions. The working relationship between a therapist and their client is a key factor to client’s achieving treatment goals. 

Thom Barry

My goal for you is to feel as though you can work through your issues and learn to manage your life, be content with who you are, and be happy.

     I think of counseling as a process where you and I build a relationship and work together to address whatever issues are impacting you. I'm a holistic counselor, meaning that I will help you explore multiple aspects of your life, including how you engage socially, how you think about situations, how you manage or express your emotions, your behaviors and skills, the quality of your interactions with family and friends, and  other areas. I believe that we all have untapped resources, both internal and external, that we can use to make our lives better. 

     In terms of my background, I have worked in non-profit and two private practice environments. I have also served as a faculty member in clinical mental health counseling programs since 2011.  I train future generations of counselors to work with people.

I am a licensed therapist dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and compassion. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and fulfillment, and therapy can be a powerful step toward reaching that potential.

I work with women and men who are managing stress, anxiety, perfectionism, or significant life transitions such as parenthood, career shifts, or relationship changes. Many of my clients are striving to balance multiple roles while also wanting to prioritize their own happiness and well-being.

In our work together, I may use different modalities such psychodynamic, cognitive, humanistic, and group therapy to meet each client’s unique needs. We may explore underlying patterns, identify and shift unhelpful thought processes, and build on existing strengths. My role is to support clients in gaining insight, developing effective coping tools, and creating healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating.

Clients often leave therapy with a deeper sense of self, improved resilience, and the confidence to make meaningful changes. My mission is to empower both women and men to move beyond what holds them back and build lives of balance, purpose, and fulfillment.

As a perinatal psychotherapist, Mrs. Whiteside works with mothers and/or families who are struggling with perinatal mental illness during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Shemika Whiteside

Hello there, I'm Liz! I work with clients who are wanting to heal from past trauma experiences and get to the root causes of their struggles. Trauma changes the way you view yourself, others, and the world. It often has lasting impacts that can be manifested in your current struggles with anxiety, depression, true fulfillment in relationships, diminished executive functioning, and difficulty with honoring your needs and boundaries. 

My goal is to help you gain insight, build self-awareness, and foster personal growth. Some areas of focus I enjoy addressing with my clients include boundary building, negative core beliefs, strengthening internal validation, self-care, identifying trauma responses, addressing attachment wounds, aligning to your values, improving daily functioning, and developing healthy coping strategies. 

I am trained in a variety of therapeutic models and techniques to help my clients including but not limited to Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Polyvagal Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. For those who desire and request it, I can integrate Christian-based counseling into the therapeutic process. I believe education/knowledge of what you are going through sets the foundation to the therapeutic work you will be doing.

Jacquelyn "Jackie" Taylor-Mays

Hello! I'm Rebecca. In my more than 10 years as a counselor, I have been humbled by the experiences of my clients. Choosing to seek counseling is hard. It means being vulnerable with a stranger to say, "I need help," and, "I can't fix this by myself."  I would like to guide you on your journey to healing. I help my clients through the difficult and emotional process of healing relationships and overcoming the challenges of life in all its stages. 

Rebecca Gregory

Stormy Malone

 Therapy is a work of my heart.  I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist and consider it a privilege for individuals to share their stories, often including their pain as well. I value individuals who take the courageous step of coming to therapy for the first time or starting anew with me.   I am curious by nature and provide space for people to share their stories; I may also ask questions to delve a little deeper.  I value humor in the healing process. When it's appropriate, I may say something to lighten the mood, as therapy can be difficult at times.   My faith shapes my life and gives me hope, and I hold hope for every person I meet as I believe they are valuable, resilient, and capable of change.

Emily Trahan

I’m someone who understands how overwhelming it can feel to be caught in life’s in-between space, whether it’s the end of a relationship, the shift in a friendship, or the uncertainty of what comes after graduation. I work with adults who are often relied upon by others but sometimes struggle to support themselves.

As a therapist and thought partner, I bring warmth, honesty, and curiosity into our work. I believe therapy is a place where you can take off the mask, slow down, and reconnect with who you are outside of expectations and pressure. My role is to walk alongside you as you process the past, make sense of where you are now, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Keeayla Jones

My name is David Mancuso, and at the heart of my work is a belief that every person carries an untold story—one shaped by survival, family dynamics, unspoken pain, and the longing to feel whole. I help clients reconnect with the parts of themselves they’ve had to silence in order to function. My approach blends depth-oriented psychotherapy with a direct, grounded style that invites honesty, clarity, and personal evolution.

I draw from years of clinical practice, trauma-informed training, attachment theory, and my own lived experiences navigating complex family systems. Because of that background, I understand what it means to rebuild a self from the inside out. Clients often come to me during moments of transition, emotional exhaustion, identity confusion, or relational upheaval. They stay because our work helps them find their center again.

While I bring a calm and steady presence, I also show up with real engagement. I don’t sit back passively—I’m interactive, reflective, and attuned to the subtle patterns that shape how you think, feel, and relate. Therapy with me is an active process of reconnecting with your original self, strengthening your internal structure, and learning to move through the world with more confidence, emotional clarity, and integrity.

Above all, I care deeply about the people I work with. My intention is to offer a space where you feel understood, supported, and challenged in meaningful ways—so you can step into a more grounded, connected, and empowered version of yourself.

David Mancuso

Do you find yourself overwhelmed with the competing priorities of daily life? Stuck in unhealthy patterns such as overuse of alcohol, procrastination, or emotional eating?
