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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience helping clients. I am a proud Appalachian-American that was born and raised deep in the mountains of Upper Northeast TN. Although my life experience is about what one would expect from this area (cue banjo music), my work experience is vastly different. I have been fortunate to get to work with individuals from all walks of life. I have worked with clients (thanks to the internet) from all over the world, various cultures, religious beliefs, race, gender spectrums and socioeconomic status. One thing I have learned in my work with all of these individuals is that although each of their stories are unique, ultimately, they all seek/want the same core things. I think much of my success in working with a wide assortment of clients is that I attempt to be open, understanding, curious and cultivate a nonjudgmental atmosphere for our sessions. The working relationship between a therapist and their client is a key factor to client’s achieving treatment goals.

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.

My name is Lindsay and I first want to say thank you for taking time to read this. If you are reading this, it's possible that you are searching for answers in the form of searching for a counselor. It’s possible that you are hurting. Or maybe you are just browsing and that is okay too! Just the act of considering the sharing of yourself is a massive step in working toward getting help. As life comes, as it does, experiencing situations and emotions that are confusing and frightening is truer to the human experience than most would like to admit. It's not uncommon to carry anxiety, depression, fear, guilt, and shame (just to name a few) like a low-grade fever that still allows us to function, but barely. We all have different ideas of what counseling looks like. For a long time, I could only picture the typical laying on a couch in which the counselee divulged their darkest secrets to an extensively trained professional with glasses and a clipboard that made sense of everything even if all the information they had was a squiggle and a dot. Thank you, TV therapy. At its core, counseling is about change. I am a Christian counselor meaning that the types of counseling that I have experience in start with the foundation and belief that God made the world and everything in it. He has made himself known through Jesus and has a lot to say about the deep parts of who we are that long for change. There is hope. I have worked for almost 15 years with individuals who are familiar with suffering. I have my master's degree from the University of Louisville and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Tennessee. I have worked with adults experiencing a range of identified problems including grief and loss, anxiety, depression, bipolar, burnout, caregiver fatigue, and managing chronic disease processes. In addition to Christian Counseling, I practice Cognitive Behavior Therapy and I love to use tools including learning, journaling, mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and development of coping skills to help individuals take active participation both in and out of sessions. I would consider it an honor to connect with you and hear your story!

My name is Lynn Faust Cohen. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience. I specialize in EMDR working exclusively with trauma and grief. My approach is multifaceted. You will become aware of what is alive in you in present time by delving deeply into your thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. This experience is transformative and will help you to move and change traumatic memories, grief and anxiety. We will take this path together creating trust and a deeper sense of your own ability to navigate unknown territory. I will be fully present without judgement, since I believe that most of us are very hard on ourselves. Self compassion and acceptance is part of our process always allowing whatever needs to come up to surface and then healing happens. This healing transforms your pain into “love” and you become a more spacious and accepting person. Come join me on this journey of exploration and transformation an adventure that will change your life.
