Child Therapists in Tennessee

My name is Dr. Marvin. I serve people who are on a journey to get to the next season in life by leveling up their game. I serve with a passion to understand people in their own context non-judgmentally. I lead with a goal to empower people so they can learn to embrace difficult situations and create more wins. My approach is rooted in an understanding of the brain's incredible capacity for change and healing. In my practice, I utilize evidence-based modalities with an eclectic approach. For clients in addiction recovery, I pair clinical skills with options from SMART Recovery and AA. My goal is to support a person in their journey. I believe in a holistic that considers every aspect of a person’s well-being, from their physical health to their emotional and psychological landscapes. I have found success in working with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. I have a specific passion for helping to stabilize the family unit and support couples to preserve relationships.

Navigating life between the ages of 11 and 25 can feel like carrying the weight of the world with no manual. That’s where I come in. I specialize in working with adolescents, teens, and young adults who are trying to find their footing while juggling school, family expectations, identity, and everything in between. I’m a therapist who shows up with empathy, realness, and cultural understanding. I’ve seen how much pressure young people carry: always being the strong one, navigating family dynamics, code-switching, and holding it all in just to make it through the day. I became a therapist because I wanted to create the kind of space I wish more of us had growing up. A space where you don’t have to explain your background just to feel understood. A space where your healing doesn’t require shrinking yourself to fit someone else’s mold. My approach is rooted in honesty, warmth, and trust. I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to walk alongside you, help you make sense of what you’re carrying, and create space for healing, reflection, and growth. I honor your story, your culture, your values, and the complexity of your experiences. Therapy with me isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about being seen, being safe, and figuring things out together in a way that actually feels relevant to your life. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, family drama, identity questions, or just trying to breathe again, I’m here to help you sort through the noise and get back to yourself.

I have approximately 30 years of experience in virtually all clinical settings. I began my career working in a juvenile penitentiary (referred to as a 'youth development center) and after almost 6 years, left that setting and moved on to new opportunities. Along the way, I worked with group homes, foster homes, substance abuse treatment programs, and even provided treatment in a sexual offender treatment program. In 2004 I went solely into private practice and currently operate two offices. I also provided on-site services to businesses that suffer a death or other disruptive event; I have provided over 170 of these services in four states during the last several years. While you don't need any faith to see me, I also offer Christian Counseling. Finally, I am a US Army veteran and understand the challenges and needs of veterans. I operate under a practical approach that seeks to build on a person's strengths to achieve realistic, measurable goals. I utilize primarily cognitive behavioral therapy and reality therapy to help my clients achieve their goals and to live life more fully.

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 hold a BA in psychology with a minor in children's studies and a master's degree in social work. I was licensed as a clinical social worker in Florida in 2020. I earned my doctorate in social work at Walden University. I have worked in various settings including foster care, jails, and schools. My counseling style is laid-back and conversational. I believe in creating safe and open spaces for people to be themselves and share their truths. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and attachment counseling. I will tailor the treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

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.
