Hi I'm Madelyn. I'm an LCSW licensed in TN, and I've spent years doing trauma-informed work, starting with young moms experiencing homelessness in NYC. I believe your body and mind carry stories, and those stories shape how you move through everyday life. My practice is a holistic, and relational. I'll meet you as a real person, not a diagnosis, and we'll figure out what actually helps.

Have you been feeling stuck somehow? Are you at a tipping point? I work with women, men, young adults, and teens looking for tools and strategies to overcome what feels overwhelming. At some point in life, most people find themselves in need of a little extra help. I help people navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and more with a genuine, down-to-earth, and warm approach. My goal is to create a space where clients feel both supported and challenged. Together, we’ll find the balance between acceptance and change that will lead to the healing you envision.

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.

Therapy is a work of my heart. I have over 25 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.

I received my Master's in Psychology from Pepperdine University and have specialized training in whole-body healing techniques like EMDR, Brainspotting, & Nutritional Psychology.

Hello, I'm Rebecca, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor. I believe that therapy should be a place where you can truly be yourself—a space where you can come as you are with no fear of judgment. My practice is built on the philosophy that genuine connection and compassionate support are the cornerstones of lasting change. I specialize in supporting adolescents and young adults navigating the unique pressures of modern life. I work with those feeling overwhelmed by "big feelings"—emotions that often manifest as high anxiety, social withdrawal, or intense reactivity. My approach moves beyond simply managing symptoms; I focus on building true emotional resilience. By helping my clients identify and understand their internal landscape, I empower them to move from a place of overwhelm to one of confidence and self-advocacy. Recognizing that healthy development doesn't happen in a vacuum, I am equally passionate about supporting the parents navigating these transitions. I work closely with caregivers who feel exhausted, overstretched, or as if they are "walking on eggshells" at home. I provide a grounded space to troubleshoot the complexities of parenting, helping families trade daily chaos for deeper, more resilient connections. If you are looking for a collaborative partner to help your family find its footing, I invite you to reach out so we can begin this journey together.

I’m a collaborative therapist who believes therapy works best when it feels like a partnership. You’re the expert on your life — I bring tools, perspective, and support — and together we figure out what helps you move forward. I work a lot with trauma, depression, and anxiety, and I know how heavy those experiences can feel.

We go at your pace, and we focus on what actually feels useful to you. My approach blends CBT, DBT, and EMDR, along with other strategies depending on your needs. Some days that might look like learning concrete coping skills, other days it might mean processing deeper experiences, or just having a space to untangle what’s going on. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model — therapy should fit you. I’m also a strong LGBTQI+ affirming ally and am committed to creating a space that is safe, inclusive, and judgment-free. All parts of you are welcome here. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build tools that actually work in real life, and feel more steady, confident, and in control of where your life is headed.

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.

Are you feeling stressed out, zoned out, or off-balance? Do you feel like you're drowning under the weight of responsibilities, while others seem to be thriving? Have you been using social media, toxic relationships, or substances to numb or distract yourself from the discomfort? I'd love to try and help you find your footing and feel more like yourself again. Most of the clients I work with have a lot more in common than they realize. They are struggling...but they believe they SHOULD be able to manage everything! They believe they are somehow flawed or weaker than others. I want you to know it’s okay to be struggling. Prolonged stress and trauma from things like racism, homophobia, or bullying can greatly impact our mental and physical health.

I need to talk about this.” I am here to listen and help you navigate tough situations like these. I have a background in both mental health and medical social work. I have worked in a variety of settings, including outpatient clinics, hospitals, community agencies, and addiction centers.

Hi I am Kendra Simmons. Taking the first step toward improving your mental wellness is something to be proud of.

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.

"We don't have to do it all alone; we were never meant to." – Brené Brown This belief is at the heart of my work as a therapist. I am passionate about walking alongside my clients as a team, helping them navigate challenges and achieve their goals. Many people share things with me that they have never shared with anyone else, which is why I believe that trust and the therapeutic relationship are the most important foundations of therapy. I work with individuals ages 10 to 55 and have experience supporting both individuals and families. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Attachment, Self-Regulation and Competency (ARC), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). My specialty is working with teens and young adults, as I believe this transitional period is critical for personal growth and reaching one’s full potential. Before becoming a therapist, I served as a firefighter and first responder for over a decade, including combat firefighting tours in Iraq. This background has shaped my deep commitment to resilience, healing, and supporting others through life’s most challenging moments.
