Eclectic, spiritually bent, and sacredly genuine. I utilize creativity and work from an embodied healing approach. I will lovingly challenge you; while lovingly supporting you. I want to help you connect to, and operate from, your True Self. Out of the box thinker; life does not fit in a box; therefore, therapy does not fit in a box. Connect to what a fulfilled life looks like for you; and, then how to live that life. Shedding of old patterns and transition into your genuine self. Also, offer energy work.

Hello and welcome! Are you seeking to heal from past wounds, enhance your relationship with yourself, or improve your connections with others? My work is deeply rooted in supporting clients through trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, mood disorders, and attachment styles, while also fostering healthy, fulfilling relationships.
I draw on a variety of proven techniques—like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Exposure Therapy, the Gottman Method, psycho-education, and Positive Psychology. This allows me to tailor our sessions to your unique needs and help you achieve your goals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee, with a specialty in the treatment of anxiety (Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional) and substance abuse (Licensed Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor in Kentucky and Certified Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor in Georgia). I have been practicing counseling/therapy since 2008 and have practiced in multiple settings, including residential, correctional, and outpatient.
I am a Disabled Veteran and in long-term recovery from substance use. I have also been a user of mental and behavioral health services. As such, I am personally aware of the stigma associated with reaching out for help. Be assured that reaching out for help takes an extraordinary amount of inner strength and desire to be your best self.
My philosophy regarding counseling/therapy is that it is not magic. A secret word or a snap of the fingers does not solve our issues. Therapy is two people talking about life’s difficulties, learning coping mechanisms to manage our reactions to those difficulties so their impact is reduced in the present, and utilizing those coping skills in the future to prevent our previous, undesired, reactions from returning. It takes hard work to make changes in our lives. Congratulations for valuing yourself enough to make a commitment to yourself to do the hard work.

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!

Davida Vaughn, LPC believes that authenticity is where freedom lives. And living authentically is hard. Sure, everyone has a unique kind of hard, but it’s hard all the same. Therapy isn’t about something that's broken. It's about unlocking the authentic person within you. Sans the fake. Absent the forced or ignored. Healed of torn places from past pain or present strife. Therapy is about you, really. At Davida Vaughn, LPC, psychotherapy services for adults provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore and address these common conditions. Through evidence-based therapeutic approaches, Davida works collaboratively with you to understand the underlying causes and develop effective strategies to minimize your symptoms and cope with your concerns. Its therapy, with you in mind.

In my career spanning over 20 years, 12 of those years have been as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Mental Health Service Provider focusing on outpatient behavioral health. I like to inform clients, that like all humans, I am far from perfect even though I am on the other side of the desk with the answers and knowledge. This helps to build rapport and allows authentic and vulnerable conversations to occur through my nonjudgmental eyes, open minded thoughts, being a great listener, providing honesty, and direct feedback.

Are you feeling stuck and unsure of how to get past symptoms of anxiety, depression or past trauma? It's common to experience mental health-related challenges in life and to get stuck at times. We're not born with a built-in understanding of how to be psychologically healthy, so sometimes it's a good idea to get a little guidance from an unbiased professional. My ideal client is motivated to understand themselves better and to make the necessary adjustments to improve their quality of life.

Hakuna Matata. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor both in Tennessee and next in Texas. Houston Christian University is where I received a Masters of Arts in Psychology over 17 years ago. My favorite clients are contemporaries who are experiencing issues with aging parents and have difficult decisions to make concerning end-of-life care and/or the grieving that often follows those tough choices. Mental fitness includes acceptance of ones choices made during traumatic life phases. Enjoying a life of integrity many times is a choice one must make. I want to help you with that. Hakuna Matata means "don't worry, be happy!" That's a choice.
