Therapists for college students near Nashville, TN

Would you like to recognize the positive things in your life and enjoy them without shame, self doubt or anxiety? Are you in recovery from abuse or other traumatic events or chronic stress? Many people lose hope without realizing there are effective ways to learn to walk through difficult times with ease and grace. I am trained in EMDR and The Daring Way treatment models created by Dr. Brenè Brown and have mindfulness training from Jack Kornfield and as a yoga teacher. It is difficult to reach out for help but we all need it at times. My office will be a safe place for you to share your feelings and learn to manage life mindfully with grace and strength.

Hello! I am Dr. Twila Worlock DNP PMHNP. I am board certified as a psychiatric nurse practitioner and specialize in medication management and counseling aimed at providing the best treatment plan for you. Please reach out to me to help you overcome life’s challenges you may be having. Looking forward to working with you in a warm, safe, accepting environment.

In life, we all experience the tension of joy and pain, mountain tops and valleys. As human beings, built for relationship, we need others alongside us in that journey. Sometimes we need a little extra professional help to walk through particularly painful or confusing seasons. I would love to partner with you if you find yourself in one of these seasons, or if you just need some support along the way. You don't have to go it alone, there is always hope. If you find yourself in a place that feels stuck or hope feels difficult to find, feel free to reach out to me- I'd love to connect with you and talk about what you are needing, and how I can help!

Sometimes life leaves you feeling stressed, stuck, or unsure of where to turn. I offer a supportive space where you can talk through what’s going on, whether it’s managing anxiety or depression, navigating friendships or relationships, or adjusting to new transitions. I use practical approaches to help you build healthier coping skills, improve communication, and feel more balanced. My goal is to help you better understand yourself and strengthen the connections that matter most. Looking for counseling is already a huge first step—you don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Together, we can work toward managing stress, finding clarity, and creating the change you want for your life.

We all enjoy the excitement of learning and living a fulfilled life. However, we often don’t take the time we need to take care of ourselves. For many people, this fast pace lifestyle leads to stress in different parts of our lives (careers, financial crises, children, spouses and parents) and can begin to spiral out of control and cause real stress. This can lead to anxiety, depression, addictions, anger and other painful challenges. Allan J. Katz will help you successfully understand and master the ways in which different aspects of your life interact and affect emotional health. From sex addiction counseling, stress management and couples therapy, you will discover new ways to reduce anxiety and depression, and improve the intimacy in your relationship.

At Carolina Psychological Institute we provide psychological evaluations to children and adults. We specialize in diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Learning Disorder, Personality Disorder, and Mood Disorders.

HI! I'm Kristin and I'm so glad you're here. If you’re reading this, then you’ve already taken the first step on your journey to healing. It takes a lot of courage to reach out and ask for help. Are you tired of being tired? Is stress, anxiety or feeling overwhelmed taking over your daily life? If you answered yes, then you're at the right place :) I have a passion for helping and guiding people as they find their true, authentic selves through doing the hard work. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and daily stressors life brings. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside clients since 2008, building relationships of acceptance and trust. I work to empower my clients, striving to bring awareness and positivity to their daily lives. Talking with me, I invite you into a non-judgmental and laid-back space where you can be your true self. My counseling style is interactive and warm, keeping it real with humor and truth. I provide psychoeducation, as well as work within the therapeutic approaches of client centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution focused therapy. I welcome and celebrate all people in all bodies. I am an LGBTQIA+ advocate and ally.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that clients have the ability to move towards healing. I invite clients to bring their body, mind and spirit into sessions as resources for healing since we not only experience emotions in the mind but also the body and spirit. I specialize in Substance Use Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Dissociative Disorders, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, Complex PTSD, Depression and Trauma. I also work with a wide variety or populations including Veterans and members of LGBTQIA+ communities. My treatment areas include EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Somatic Experiencing

I work with teens and emerging adults who feel overwhelmed by expectations and often leave conversations thinking, “No one really gets me,” or, “Why is it so hard to be around people?” If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I use a range of evidence-based approaches to help you gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we’ll identify patterns that are holding you back, uncover emotional triggers, and develop tools that help you build confidence, resilience, and self-compassion. Therapy with me is collaborative, flexible, and centered on your goals. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs, which might include mindfulness work, emotional regulation strategies, or understanding how past experiences shape your present.

Licensed to offer therapy services in Virginia, Tennessee, and Michigan, Dr. Honeycutt is often sought out due to the advanced IFS (Level 3) training he received in 2010 under the model's founder, Dr. Richard Schwartz. With particular interest in how the ancient Judeo-Christian understanding of the psyche (soul) overlaps with modern theories of mental health, he has spoken on this subject at conferences, educational seminars, and university classrooms. Approaching work with clients from a Christian framework of psycho-spiritual health, Dr. Honeycutt combines modern-day techniques and psychological research with an ancient understanding of the human condition as created by God. Non-Christian clients who are interested in such an approach are also welcome. Sessions are typically offered online for those living outside the Lynchburg area.

We have a staff complete with multi-specialty therapy providers who have a variety of different backgrounds, training and clinical experience that are here to meet your needs. We offer both individual, couple, family, and group therapy sessions. Teletherapy sessions are also available in addition to in-person therapy. We believe in group therapy as it helps you realize that you are not alone in your journey. It helps people relate to others (and yourself) in healthier ways, as well as providing a safe and supportive place. It often helps you find your voice and build confidence, as well as many other benefits. We offer several groups at the moment.

When we experience life's stressors it can leave us feeling as if our lives are unraveling. My passion is assisting children, teens, and young adults through the healing process. Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Have you experienced situations that you believe are keeping you from thriving? Do you feel overwhelmed by the amount of stress in your life? If you are looking to maximize your full potential, I am here to help. I work collaboratively alongside individuals, guiding them through their life's journey. I believe that the hallmark of growth and healing is the therapeutic relationship. Whether it's anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress, relationship issues, or life transitions, together we will get to the root cause of your current struggles. I have over 7 years of experience in the mental health field working with clients of all ages. It takes courage to seek help and take steps towards change to live a happier and more fulfilling life. If you are ready to take that first step, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey. I look forward to working with you!

Do you feel like your relationships are struggling? Are you tired of feeling like nothing you are doing is working? Maybe it's hard to communicate your needs. Do you feel like there are all these expectations on you and have no idea how you will be able to be the person your family or friends want you to be? Reaching out for help is hard. You don’t need to handle this alone. We can help. We strive to meet you where you are at and work with you to feel better. We specialize in helping with trauma and loss, communication skills, anxiety, identity issues, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship struggles. We have extensive experience working with college students. Feeling safe and understood is a goal I strive for so that you can begin the process of healing. By exploring your troubling issues, gaining a better insight into your problems and patterns of behavior, and developing new and healthy ways to cope with life’s struggles you can begin to heal and feel better.

During our sessions together, I will support you in exploring the many parts of you and how they came to be. I will work with you to identify the negative messages connected to these parts of you. We will form a relationship with these parts and create a safe place for all of you to be seen, heard, and understood. In this safe place, you will heal yourself. Developing my own internal resources has helped me to move through some very difficult times as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Using evidence based research, I provide care that values every part of you and respects where you came from. In those moments of pain and struggle and self-discovery, I will help you to choose yourself. I seek to create a safe and inclusive space for black-bodied individuals, first generation immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks, survivors of trauma, sex workers, and clients who are struggling with relationship and intimacy issues. My approach to mental health care is rooted in anti-oppressive and decolonizing frameworks. The treatment modalities that I use have been found to be effective across many cultures, ages, genders, and experiences. I am here to support my clients in rediscovering themselves, strengthening their mind-body connection, and living the life they have always wanted.

Everyone has a story. I am a person-centered licensed professional counselor who believes in collaborative work with the client. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as well as solution focused therapy to help my clients reach their personal goals. I also utilize existential counseling, and multicultural counseling. In addition to seeing clients in-person in Knoxville, I am also available online to all adult residents of TN for private pay. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort between the therapist and client. While I am a skilled and trained professional, I am not an expert of you or your life. You have lived unique moments that define who you are. My role is to provide you with the necessary tools to help you cope with difficulties. My role is also to help you make sense of your life, help you identify your feelings, and help you become better at expressing yourself with others. Whatever it is you are struggling with, collaboration between therapist and client is key to helping you find peace and resolution.

As no two individuals are the same, I tailor my work with each client to address the challenges unique to you. As Ward Foley has stated, "We are not given a good life or a bad life. We are given a life. It is up to us to make it good or bad." I am glad that you found this platform and have taken the courageous first step of being here! When working with clients, I focus on their strengths and their ability to create lasting change for themselves. My approach to therapy is holistic, factoring the mind, body, and spirit into wellness to help empower you. I utilize CBT, mindfulness, and strengths based approaches and provide compassion, healing honesty, and support throughout our time together. I began my career working in both inpatient as well as outpatient settings. I completed my Master's in Social Work at the University of South Carolina. I have worked with a wide range of populations facing a wide range of issues for over seven years- from hospice to trauma, crisis and substance abuse counseling in an inpatient setting, to most recently in the past two years practicing individual counseling in a purely outpatient setting. I am skilled in crisis management and trauma focused CBT having worked in an inpatient mental health setting for three years. I am very comfortable working with anyone from 18 years and up, LGBTQ friendly. I specialize in emotional and physical regulation to help manage difficult situations, depression, anxiety, grief/loss/bereavement, prior trauma/ re-experiencing of traumatic events, geriatric focused counseling, life transitions, and general stress. I am ready to help you find ways to navigate through major life changes, depression, anxiety, isolation, relationship stress, addiction, prior trauma, and many other factors that may be keeping you from thriving. You don't have to be alone on this journey. I will help equip you with new tools that will service you for years to come into being your best self and help you find solutions you already have within you but haven't been able to access. Whether you are looking for long term therapy to sort out past hurts, or short term therapy to see your way out of a difficult situation, I look forward to supporting you to reach your goals. Let's work together to understand the root of your struggles and address issues with long-lasting strategies to help you work towards the life you have always wanted!
