I am a clinical social worker licensed in Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas with over 5 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, dialectical and solutions-focused therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Hi im Greg Kirkham! Im a licensed therapist, practicing for over 20 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!

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 the Covid pandemic, social and political unrest, racism, homophobia, and 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, LGBTQ+ issues, addiction/ recovery, and chronic illness/pain. 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!

Does this sound familiar- today is the day! Today is the day that you are finally going to get organized, stop contacting your toxic ex or start that self care routine you've been thinking about for months. And you start off great but find it hard to keep those new behaviors going. Your mental résistance enters and you feel stuck. Stuck in damaging behaviors and problematic patterns. And the pattern starts again.
So here's what I've learned along the way: 1. Transformation is not linear. 2. Transformation is a daily event. 3. You are your own best healer. I am here to help you on your path of transformation and healing.
My goal is to create a safe space for you to be authentically you. You are the expert on your life and I am here to help you expand on your strengths as well as hold you accountable for reaching your goals. I have been a licensed Social Worker since 2007 and am both a certified grief counselor and an ADHD services professional.
Are you ready to do the work? Consistent, small, daily choices can help you get from where you are to where you want to be. And I am here to help you in that process. I am currently offering telehealth in KS, MO, NC and TN. Reach out to take that first step. We can get there together.

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.

You may be wondering, "Am I ready for therapy?" And I say, "Yes!" Therapy may seem scary and for good reason, even the prospect of it can elicit fearfulness—fear of the unknown, of failure, of success, of change, of judgment—these feelings are all valid. Chances are, these same fears are causing disruptions in fundamental areas of your life, providing the impetus behind your decision to seek help in the first place. There is no right or wrong way to do this. My job is to gently guide you toward your own conclusions, so you can better understand and address the emotional and environmental obstacles standing in your way.
I know life can be a struggle; it can be painful and difficult. You don’t have to suffer alone. My job is to provide a relaxed, safe, nonjudgmental space to process, explore, and learn. You are the expert on you, and I will follow your lead. Together, we will identify barriers to personal growth and acquire new insights to conquer those barriers!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the states of California, Florida, and Tennessee and a member of the National Association of Social Workers. I acquired my master of social work (MSW) degree from the University of Southern California. Before that, I attended Columbia University and earned a master's degree in journalism. After graduation from USC, I worked in community mental health clinics, specializing in forensic social work and severe co-occurring disorders, including substance use, mood and psychotic disorders. I look forward to working with you!

Together, we can identify and address the barriers and habits that are holding you back. My approach to treatment is structured and evidence-based, but I also recognize that each person is unique, with their own strengths and challenges. By leveraging your strengths, we can work together to improve your mental health and well-being.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out! Do you ever have those days where things are especially difficult?? Many of the people that I meet struggle 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 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 :)

Do you feel like you just aren't where you used to be in life?
I like to work with clients to get them back to their optimal level of functioning. My goal in therapy is to essentially work myself out of a job. I want to empower you to tackle whatever obstacles you are facing.
Therapy with me is very personalized. I like to make it fit whoever my client is. Sometimes therapy is traditional talk therapy while other times it can include art or movement. I think each person has a unique set of needs and my goal is to try and meet those needs as best as I can.

Do you feel like you are spinning in circles, trying to grow but nothing is helping?
I love working with people who are struggling with life and want to find a healthier way of being in the world, in your relationships, at work, and in all aspects of life. I balance managing current problems with getting at the root of where these problems are stemming from and processing those so that you can grow into the person you want to be.
I blend the symptoms shown by your emotions, thoughts and your body to create a unique approach for you. I integrate mindfulness, cognitive approaches, somatic therapy and if needed, EMDR (eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing) to help you navigate past what is holding you back.
My main focus at first is to create a safe place for you, where you feel comfortable addressing issues. It is so scary to start therapy, and I want it to feel as easy as possible for you. I am always open to questions and adapting to what would serve you best.

People choose to come to therapy for a variety of reasons. Do you find yourself feeling depressed or overwhelmed? Do you want to worry less and enjoy life more? Do you want to have better control of your emotions? Maybe you’re struggling to have meaningful, lasting relationships. Whatever your reason, I’m here to provide a safe and affirming space for you to explore, learn, and create a new way of approaching the world and relationships.
My approach to counseling is collaborative and trauma-informed. I utilize emotion-focused, attachment centered strategies to help people identify how past experiences and relationships influence how they respond to others and the world. I have experience in treating mood disorders, eating disorders, body image concerns, substance use issues, life transitions, relationship issues, and trauma.
I believe connection is essential for healing- we never do big things alone! The power of the therapeutic relationship is essential to achieve the change you are looking for. I strive to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to explore life’s challenges.

C. G. Jung once said, "Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside awakes." Life is full of distractions that keep us from paying attention to our own hearts, our own desires, and what really matters. Perhaps you are having difficulty finding the motivation to keep pushing forward. You've lost motivation to put in the work to have the relationships and life you want. You don't even know if it's possible to be happy anymore but you know you can't give up trying to find the light at the end of the tunnel. This is where I come in.
You deserve to thrive in this life despite feeling stuck for so long. As a professional with years of experience helping others develop more self-awareness, set boundaries and cultivate a greater sense of meaning and purpose, I'd love to have the opportunity to step into this chapter of your life and help you take back the pen.

Are you a woman who wants to create new or deepen your existing relationships? Do you need support and guidance through a specific issue? Are you a mom looking to create a more full-filled, balanced life? Then, I might be a good fit for you!
My name is Jenny Evans and I am a 42y/o Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been counseling for over 11 years. I was born and raised in the South in Middle Tennessee. I grew up around animals and in church at least 3 times a week with my parents having 2 veterinary practices and my mom being the youth director. Therefore, I have developed a strong love for all animals big and small and am an active practicing Southern Baptist Christian today!
I have been married 19 years to a loving and supportive husband. Marriage is HARD period but worth it in so many ways if you are willing to roll your sleeves up and dig into learning and growing together through the expected and unexpected ups and downs life with undoubtedly throw your way. I have 2 beautiful and smart daughters that drive me crazy every day but continually teach me so many things about life and myself that it is just unimaginable. We have 2 cats, 2 turtles, and 8 fish today (I haven't done a head count this morning though, sometimes they disappear ;).
I always found myself as the "go-to" person friends and family went to during difficult times and/or needing advice. My passion to help others by listening and learning drew me closer to the mental health field. I went on and earned my BA in Psychology at UT Knoxville and my M.ED in Counseling and Human Development at Lindsey Wilson College. I feel such joy when I know I am helping make a difference and/or have helped someone change their life for the better. It is my passion!
I feel I am a passionate and innovative leader that has worked in a variety of mental health settings. I have worked in the prison system for women inmates, crisis stabilization, alcohol and other drugs, private practice, outpatient, intensive outpatient, partial-hospitalization, and inpatient treatment. I have worked with countless clients providing care and guidance to individuals working through a plethora of mental health wellness difficulties. Nothing you can say will shock me. I am a big believer that you are your best counselor. You know yourself the best. You just need a little guidance, a little reassurance, and maybe a few new tools along the way to finding your balance within life's up and downs and understanding the importance of processing that in a safe and meaningful way.

"Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light" ~Brene Brown
Hello, my name is Debbie and I find the above quote so powerful. Life is filled with ups and downs. How we perceive and deal with these inevitable fluctuations is what matters most. So often when we are under stress, the past comes back to remind of of previous mistakes and regrets that we are powerless to change. Our experiences define to a great degree how we experience our sense of self, our connections with others, and our relationship with the world at large. On the other hand, we may find ourselves worrying about the future. Events that have yet to happen, yet still can consume our minds. This can result in increased fear and anxiety, preoccupied thoughts, depression, and a negative outlook for what lies ahead. When we live in the past or try to jump ahead to predict what is coming our way, we lose sight of the present moment. It is in the here and now that we can treat ourselves with compassion, forgiveness, and kindness. Today is when we can take proactive and positive actions to release the past that we cannot undo while taking steps toward a fulfilling and rewarding future.
If you struggle with anxiety, phobias, insomnia, depression, trauma, and/or relational issues I am here to help. Therapy is a safe place to learn, grow, heal, and be validated. Together we will explore the obstacles you face and ways to move forward in your life with positivity, self-awareness, and confidence.

Hi! I'm Candace.
Do you ever feel like an island, where nobody truly understands you? When you attempt to express your needs, it often leaves you questioning your sanity and making you feel isolated. As you scroll through social media, it seems like everyone else has it all figured out. Despite your best efforts, you feel trapped and stagnant. Together we can navigate through it.
You are not alone. As a mother of 3, I understand how difficult it can be to navigate life as a parent, maintain a work/life balance, and curate healthy relationships. It can be exhausting! Through my training and experience, I specialize in supporting other women with their emotional struggles and empowering them to find solutions within themselves.

As a trauma therapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals heal from past experiences that have caused emotional pain and distress. With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I provide a safe space for clients to explore their feelings and develop coping strategies to manage symptoms of trauma. I have extensive training and experience in evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. My goal is to empower clients to reclaim their lives and move forward with confidence and resilience.
As a trauma therapist, I understand that trauma can have a profound impact on an individual's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It can manifest in a variety of ways, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other mental health conditions. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy and respect for the client's unique experiences and needs.
I believe that healing from trauma involves addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes of distress. In therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and process painful memories in a safe and supportive environment. I also recognize the importance of building resilience and promoting self-care, which may include mindfulness practices, stress reduction techniques, and self-compassion.
My training and experience have equipped me to work with a diverse range of clients, including those who have experienced complex trauma, childhood abuse, sexual assault, and other traumatic events. I am committed to providing evidence-based treatments that are tailored to each client's specific needs and goals. My ultimate goal is to help clients reclaim their lives, improve their relationships, and find meaning and purpose in their experiences.

My life's work has centered around community building and grassroots social change. Because I believe in the more beautiful world my heart knows is possible, I have been a circle keeper and teacher in community settings, nonprofit organizations, jails, prisons and university classrooms. I know what is possible when we show up together, for one another and the more than human world.
I believe in magic and know that we need it to be able to face the inevitable human suffering in life. We also need regular engagement with beauty, a solid support system, a sense of humor and hearts full of courage. Psychotherapeutic work with me is about gathering and growing these essential ingredients. I help people grow skills and capacities to weather life's challenges, learn through difficulty and embody resiliency.
I provide a supportive atmosphere where you can feel free to listen within yourself without any pressure or judgment. I will help you to welcome whatever comes and support you as you discover steps of change you want to take in your life, opening to more and more of your authentic soul self.

Hi. My name is Deborah Vaughn and I have dedicated my life to making your life better. I have laughed and I have loved. I have cried and I have lost. I have experienced anxiety and depression, poverty and wealth. I have had beauty and acceptance, age and neglect. I have given birth to four children, two that were incarcerated for crimes, and I have had them brought back to me renewed again in life. I've been sad and lonely and I have been on top of the mountain singing praises to the God of the Universe. Experiences, I've had too many to number, both good and bad, and I have learned from each and every one. Empathy I have for all, because I too have probably been there, or I could have been there easily enough. I have saved them all in my mind and heart so that I can help you through any of them you might need my help with. Sincerely, Deborah

I love partnering with people on their journey to greatness. I use a strengths-based approach to help my clients see the choices that are always at their disposal to unlearn past harmful messaging or combat unrelenting present symptoms. As a Black woman, I always integrate the importance of diversity. Playing small to blend in doesn't serve anyone. Whether we're different based on external or internal attributes, we all need to embrace our beautiful and different qualities so that we can live an authentic life.
My work also focuses on boundaries, challenging thoughts, and improving communication skills. I integrate role plays, affirmations, accountability, and direct introspection exercises to aid clients in quieting the noise of societal norms to embrace their true joy. All sessions are client-focused, I don't come with my own agenda. I'm excited to help you live life with confidence on your own terms. I look forward to working with you.
