Hi. It's nice to meet you! I am a mental health therapist that is located in Nashville, TN. I serve clients struggling with mood disorders, life transitions, trauma, grief, and eating disorders. I have two years of experience working in a residential facility for the treatment of eating disorders and a year working with substance use disorders in the underserved community. Client's often share that through our work, they have found a greater sense of self acceptance, learned how to regulate emotions, and developed practice tools to navigate daily challenges. They describe feeling more hopeful, more connected, and better equipped to live in alignment with their values. Witnessing these shifts- seeing clients move from pain and self-doubt to resilience and empowerment- is at the heart of why I do this work.

I am a therapist who enjoys building a relationship with my clients by finding how to best understand each other. We may not share a background, but practicing curiosity from a position of genuine interest helps me better understand the people around me and form rapid connections. I believe knowledge and language have power so that the way we think and the information we use to think help us view what we think as changeable and adjust it to be more helpful.

At Forest Path Therapy Group, 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 6 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.

Starting therapy is a brave step, and I want you to feel seen, supported, and respected as you take it. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee, I offer both in-person and telehealth services for adults who are navigating life’s challenges and transitions. My approach is warm, practical, and grounded in proven methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These approaches help clients notice and work through unhelpful thoughts and emotions, while also clarifying what truly matters most to them. I believe lasting change happens when we align decisions and behaviors with our values, even when life feels heavy or uncertain. I often work with women’s issues, grief, anxiety, and the unique dynamics of blended families. Whether you’re adjusting to a new season of life, carrying the weight of loss, or feeling stuck in old patterns, my goal is to help you discover tools, insights, and courage to move forward. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” who you are—it’s about building resilience, deepening self-acceptance, and creating a more meaningful life. Clients describe my style as compassionate yet straightforward. I will encourage you, but I will also gently challenge you when needed, because I believe growth often happens at the edge of our comfort zones. My counseling room—whether on a porch swing in East Tennessee or on a telehealth screen—is a safe and steady space for you to bring your whole self. If you’re ready to explore new ways of coping, connect more deeply with your values, and take steps toward the life you want, I would be honored to walk with you on that journey.

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. Anxiety, depression, or trauma symptoms may be showing up as a way to say, “Hey, I’m not okay right now. 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. My specialties are grief and loss, mood disorders, and issues facing the LGBTQ+ community. I have worked in this field for over twenty years, and I am more passionate than ever about helping others. I look forward to meeting you soon!

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.

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!

Hello, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the states of Texas and Tennessee with 30 years of counseling and ministry experience. I began as a minister of the Gospel in the Southern Baptist tradition in 1993 working with the homeless to overcome the struggles of addiction and hopelessness in North Carolina and Tennessee. From there, I became a case manager in a rural oupatient behavioral health clinic helping the chronically mentally ill live independently outside of the institutional settings. As my family of five children grew, my wife encouraged me to join the military in 2007 and for the next 13 years we served alongside our Soldiers and their Families as a chaplain. There, I learned through experience how to work through the stress of multiple transitions, the unyeilding demands for time and energy, and the unjust nature of toxic environments. I learned how to support those who wanted to strengthen themselves and their relationships in these environments and to ultimately be at peace with who they are and who they want to be. As I have matured in my training and become licensed in marriage and family therapy, I have found that I now specialize in using Solution Focused therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help individuals identify their strengths and the beliefs that are guiding their behavior. With this knowledge, people can begin to choose who they want to be.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with several years of experience providing trauma-informed therapy to adults, couples, and teens. My work primarily focuses on helping clients understand and navigate the effects of trauma, chronic stress, and overwhelming life experiences. As a military spouse, I have firsthand insight into the impact of prolonged uncertainty, transitions, and cumulative stress, which informs my compassionate and grounded approach to care. I draw from evidence-based, trauma-focused approaches to support clients in building emotional regulation, increasing self-awareness, and restoring a sense of safety and stability. Many of the clients I work with experience anxiety, relationship difficulties, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or patterns shaped by past trauma. Therapy is collaborative and paced intentionally, allowing clients to engage in the process without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Earlier in my career, I worked extensively with children and adolescents. Today, I primarily support adults and couples while continuing to work with teen clients. This background allows me to consider how early experiences, attachment patterns, and relational dynamics can influence present-day functioning and relationships. I am committed to creating a supportive and respectful therapeutic space where clients can explore their experiences, develop practical coping skills, and move toward healing at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

Hi, I’m Kelsie. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and somatic therapist with over a decade of experience sitting with people through the complexities of life. My approach is grounded in presence, body awareness, and the belief that healing happens in relationship—with ourselves, each other, and the systems we live in. I draw from somatic practices, narrative therapy, and mindfulness to help clients reconnect with their own wisdom, process what’s been stored in the body, and move toward more ease and authenticity.

Hey there, I'm Jenn. I am a licensed clinical social worker and began working as a therapist in 2002. Are you feeling overwhelmed by work, stress from your relationships, family, or parenting? You may be putting on a confident and brave face, but secretly you're overthinking every situation and decision that you make. Life is harder to manage when you're feeling overwhelmed and stressed. You may feel like you're stuck and, unable to move forward. It's time to take a deep breath, regroup, and reflect on your life and the changes you want to make to build long-term fulfillment. Let's face it - You deserve it! Let's talk about what's been going on and see how we can work together to make some positive changes in your life. I specialize in working with adults (18+) who are experiencing anxiety, attachment issues, depression, grief/loss, infertility, midlife transitions, parenthood struggles, and perinatal/postpartum mood disorders. My approach to therapy is always client-focused: I believe the relationship between therapist and client is central to reducing distress, increasing self-compassion/understanding, and improving emotional wellness. I help individuals safely process their emotions and experiences to learn practical, strength-based coping strategies and techniques for symptom management/reduction. I believe working through some of the most difficult times in our life requires additional support. I recognize that it takes courage to seek help, and in our work together we'll utilize your strengths to help you make the change you're looking for.

For those times I am there to help clients, move forward and maneuver life, family, career, and social interactions. Allow me to support and guide you through your growth and self-awareness process. You are welcome to contact me, so we can start a journey of healing.

Our past experiences often influence how we view ourselves and interact in relationships. Sometimes, those patterns stem from pain and continue to affect us in ways that can keep us feeling stuck or disconnected. If you’re seeking healing and growth with a desire to or break negative cycles and are ready for change, I’d be honored to help you navigate what comes next and walk alongside you.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Tennessee rather than a city like Nashville?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Tennessee. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Tennessee from Memphis to Knoxville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Tennessee.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Grief?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Grief, is filtering therapists in Tennessee that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
