We work with individuals, couples, groups, and families throughout Middle Tennessee.
If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by past experiences, individual therapy can help you process emotions, build resilience, and develop strategies to move forward. We specialize in working with individuals facing trauma, addiction, and emotional distress.
Relationships can be challenging, especially when past trauma, addiction, or communication barriers are involved. We help couples rebuild trust, improve communication, and strengthen their connection.
