You've had the courage to make it this far, and together, we can empower you to achieve your therapy goals and feel better in your life. My style of therapy is warm and interpersonal. I want to come alongside you on your journey to help empower you and help you find the tools you need to cope with the struggles you are facing.

Hi, I’m Neesha, a licensed therapist offering short-term online counseling (2–12 sessions) to adults in Tennessee and Washington, DC. Navigating life's challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. With a master's in Community Counseling and over a decade of experience, I specialize in helping individuals process and heal from the stress of life transitions, relationships, grief and women's issues.

Hello, and welcome. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Union University. I work primarily with adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, or persistent emotional patterns they don’t fully understand. Many of my clients come to therapy wondering, “Why do I keep reacting this way?” or “Why does this feel harder for me than it should?” Together, we explore the underlying patterns that shape your thoughts, emotions, and responses. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in helping you gain insight while also building practical tools you can use in everyday life. Life can feel chaotic at times. My goal is to help you create more stability, clarity, and calm — not by changing who you are, but by helping you better understand yourself and respond with intention rather than overwhelm. If you’re ready to begin that process, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

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? Are your days spent battling perfectionism and negative self-talk? Would you like to be more active socially but struggle with anxiety or feelings of low self-worth? Hi. I’m Kay. Congratulations on taking the first step toward living your best life! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Tennessee with 17 years of experience providing psychotherapy, assessment, and referral services to adults, children, and families. Additionally, I am a certified Neuropsychotherapist, specializing in the integration of neuroscience into transformative therapy. Common areas of practice include anxiety and depression management, women's issues, support with the management of chronic health conditions, minority stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, and grief/loss. It takes courage to choose a path of self-discovery and healing. But you don’t have to walk this path alone. Whether you are seeking assistance with managing an ongoing mental health issue, or are seeking solution-focused therapy to deal with a specific problem, I'm here to help

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee! I got my master's degree from Brenau University with a specialty of at-risk youth! I have worked with youth who have suicidal ideation, significant trauma, depression and anger issues! My first job out of grad school was with juvenile sex offenders - which helped me build my "therapy toolbox" quickly.

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.

I have over 25 years of professional experience in a wide variety of settings including Private Practice, Community Behavioral Health, Healthcare, Corrections, and school-based counseling. I enjoy working with Adults in all stages of life. I utilize a strengths-based approach to assist my clients in becoming the best version of themselves. I work with client's experiencing a wide variety of concerns including Anxiety, Depression, and Difficulty with life transitions, as well as women experiencing postpartum depression, mothers, and those who are coping with a divorce I see clients on nights and weekends

I bring over 12 years of experience helping children and adults navigate life’s challenges, including addiction, trauma, parent-child conflicts, marital and family issues, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. My background in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), along with other evidence-based approaches, allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs. My goal is to help you build a sense of stability, hope, and authenticity as we work together toward meaningful change.

Hi there! It's so nice to virtually meet you - I don't tend to enjoy small talk and I don't find credentials to be all that interesting (LCSW in TN), so I am going to tell you some facts about myself. I believe the most important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship, so if we have similar interests and/or values, we may be a good fit. Here we go: - I am an unapologetic Swiftie - I hand out book recommendations and quotes like they're candy - I have a deep passion for travel - and especially get a kick out of doing it on a budget - I am a bit of a personal finance nerd, to the point of getting a certificate in Financial Social Work (that's right- that means we can work on your finances together!) - I am a big fan of social justice and human rights - I have two dogs - a chocolate lab and a boxer - I enjoy getting outdoors and into the backcountry - I always get my daily dose of reality tv Here is one of my favorite quotes: "These are the words I want on my gravestone: that I was a helper, and that I danced." Anne Lamott

Hello. I am a creative clinical social worker in practice since 2001 licensed in Tennessee and South Carolina. I have provided behavioral health services in a variety of settings including inpatient, outpatient, partial program, and health care settings as well as a previous private practice and a medical school. I provide services to adult and geriatric clients only. I am trained in DBT, EMDR, MI, CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, WET, addictions, IFS, grief and loss, and body centered, somatic therapy interventions. If you have had difficulties due to trauma, addiction, anxiety, mood disorders, grief and loss, and/or chronic health problems you are welcome in my practice.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 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 banjo music🪕 ), my work experiences have been vastly different. I have been fortunate to get to work with individuals from 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.

I believe that all humans have a fundamental need to be seen and heard. Every one of us matters and has the right to a good life. However, at times, life can become overwhelming and hard to tolerate, making it difficult to function in a healthy way. My goal is to empower clients to discover greater balance, clarity, and well-being in their lives. Through a supportive and collaborative approach, I am here to help clients navigate stress, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions while building healthier coping strategies.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out! Do you ever have those days when things are especially difficult?? Many of the people that I meet are looking for support with mental health, substance abuse, and managing traumatic events. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I also have extensive experience supporting teenagers who have experienced trauma, which led me to become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. Currently, I work with adults and youth, and I'm a strong believer in the mental/physical health connection. I am currently a social worker for a small hospice team in my area so am comfortable having uncomfortable conversations. I believe in strengths-based recovery that looks at all the systems that can impact us. Bits and pieces of different models incorporated together tend to have the most benefit, based on the person's needs. I have seen so many great successes! I enjoy supporting the people I work with and going through their journey with them. I am currently licensed in both IL and TN. When I am not in sessions, you will find me hiking with the doggos, road-tripping in the Jeep, and going into "Mom Mode" with my three kids. I look forward to connecting with you :)

My counseling style is communicative and warm. I emphasize clients' strengths and life experiences, and encourage the clients as they move through their journeys of self-awareness and personal growth. I draw from a number of methodologies, which are tailored to fit the uniqueness of each individual, couple, or family. Among these are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

The purpose of therapy is to embark on a path that will help you find balance within yourself and with the interpersonal relationships that you value.

If you are open to the therapeutic process, I look forward to partnering with you on this journey.

Individual Therapy for Sustainable Healing. Individual therapy is a joint process between a therapist and client that allows the person to work through their mental health struggles in a calm, safe, and confidential setting. Also known as individual psychotherapy, this kind of treatment is a unique opportunity to work one-on-one with a therapist to develop healthy coping skills for the long term. The beauty of individual therapy is the opportunity for flexibility, as treatment plans can be easily structured around your needs and background.

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.

Thanks for reading and congratulations on taking the first step towards a healthier and more fulfilling life!

I have been doing clinical counseling for 28 years, and unlike most providers, I have a doctorate degree in counseling.

I currently provide therapy on a broad range of issues including trauma, anxiety, substance abuse and mood disorders. I am also comfortable working with sexual, gender, and eating issues.

My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based clinical modalities with a deep respect for each individual’s unique journey.

Utilizing evidence-based practices with respect for each individual’s journey, I support clients through healing the emotional and historical roots of conflict. With expertise in substance use, relationships, and trauma, I support understanding how unresolved pain, unmet needs, and inherited patterns shape daily life and connection.

A Big Hello to you. You are scanning all these profiles. Looking for something to stand out to make you say,"I will go with this one." It is daunting but you have made it this far. Here is the tip. Your choice is not terminal. It is absolutely ok to try multiple therapists to see who gets you the best. Who understands you the best. After each session, you should feel lighter. You may not recall all that was said, but you will note how you feel. Did you feel heard? Understood? Did the therapist talk to me like they were reading a book or did it sound like they really got me? When you get the right one, those questions will be answered with a firm, Yes. Please Note: I only provide Talk Therapy in my practice. If you are looking for letters for work, ESA, Social Security, FMLA, Family Court, etc., unfortunately I cannot help. You will need a psychological evaluation by a forensic psychologist. This agency does not provide assessments, letters for claims or appearances in court.

I understand how early relationships shape the way we see ourselves and others. As someone who was adopted at birth and grew up navigating change and complex family dynamics, I developed a deep respect for each person’s story and how attachment wounds are formed and healed. In our work together, we create a space that feels safe, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. We move at a pace that honors your story while gently working toward meaningful change. I believe healing happens when we feel seen, understood, and supported — not rushed or judged.

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.
