WAITLIST OPEN for January 2024 group in Franklin, TN. A process therapy group for women who were negatively impacted by purity culture--a movement within evangelical churches that has lead to sexual repression and dysfunction in women for decades.

So you want something to change? What's standing in your way? Maybe you have experienced trauma or loss, or you find yourself in relationships that cost you more than you get in return. Maybe your partner, family, or child is struggling and you are looking for a way to help without getting lost yourself? Therapy can help you discover new truths about your situation, bringing you clarity and direction. With over 10 years in the mental health community, I have seen people find new hope and healing through the introspective and transforming work of therapy, all in pursuit of a life that is deeply satisfying.
The Religious Trauma Group is for anyone who has experienced distress, abuse, and/or trauma in a religious/spiritual context or community. Clients meet together in an atmosphere of acceptance, safety, openness, and support to have conversations about the distress experienced, to process these events, to connect with others' experiences, and to find or create new and positive ways of moving forward. There is open and honest conversation among group members about their challenges, aspirations, feelings, ideas, and reactions. The Religious Trauma Group is led by therapist Gabriel Starner, TLMFT with supporting therapists. 1 Sunday/month, 12pm-2pm.

I am a caring and empathetic person who has a heart for helping people. As a therapist I seek to work collaboratively with clients in establishing treatment goals. My hope is that clients will learn new and healthier ways of living and gain a greater ability to treat both themselves and others with compassion. It takes courage to step into the therapy room, so I work to provide a disarming and open space for clients to share. My curiosity guides me as I get to know people for who they are and I enjoy helping clients learn to think, feel, and act in new, productive ways to become the people they want to be.
Join us in this beautiful and powerful women's circle. We will gather together in "the temple of feminine flow," an oasis where we can let go into the source beneath our personal stories... worshipping each other as divinity in form. This is a goddess space where we practice embodiment, presence, ritual and devotion.

No matter whether we are addicted to a substance, perfectionism, eating, work, smartphones or unhealthy relationships we all can benefit from taking an intentional and comprehensive inventory of our personal lives. This group is an opportunity to explore your own life and personal experiences through the tenets of the 12 Step Model in a safe and supportive environment of your peers. We will use Richard Rohr's "Breathing Under Water Companion Journal" to guide our work together over a 13-week period.
I'm not where I want or need to be. Where do I even begin? I seem to be the only one that struggles. Why can't I fit in? Maybe I just need to try harder or maybe I'll just numb out to it all. If you are in this place, I get it as I've been there. I thought I could find my own peace through making others happy or simply choosing to ignore the anxiety, sadness and despair around me. Fortunately, there are multiple paths to finding what you are looking for - all that is required is a willingness to open yourself up to the counseling process. You've already taken a huge step forward by finding your way to this page - there is hope.

This is a support group for anyone who may be navigating religious deconstruction.

This process group will provide a space for you to share & process your struggles with others.

I specifically work with adult children of parents that abused substances when they were growing up, and most of my clients still have a relationship with their parents. Whether your parent is now sober or still in active addiction, there is a complexity to the emotions this relationship(s) holds, the grief over what you wish you had with them, and the anger of the choice they have (and often times continue to) made. Due to this complexity and this grief, extra care and knowledge around attachment theory and trauma are required when working with clients that I can provide.

The more experience I gain the more I recognize the need for deep and holistic work. This is because human beings are complex and each one of us is unique. This process can't be rushed. One step at a time I will help you to explore and understand the deepest and most confusing thoughts and emotions you have. Over time, this process will help you gain insight and self heal.
Next group starts Aug 12th. Over 12 sessions, I will be covering the 12 modules of Inferenced Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT). This is an evidenced based treatment for OCD.

New clients for intensive therapy only. Are you ready to get unstuck from worry, obsessions, uncomfortable body sensations, traumatic memories, or shame? I believe a deeper level of healing is possible by getting to the root of the issue. I have 15 years of watching clients transform their lives, so I know it's possible for you too. Often talking alone will not get you there because your nervous system holds the keys to unlocking automatic responses. By making mind, emotion, and body connections together, we will work together to help you reach your goals. Looking to heal faster? Ask me about therapy retreat services.
Many women who struggle with love, sex, porn, and relationship addictions are unable to sustain healthy relationships with romantic partners, family members, and friends. We desperately want to feel loved and accepted, but are continually disappointed by relationships. The pain and shame of our unwanted sexual behaviors lead us to a place we never intended. But there is hope! Through the use of weekly exercises, strategic tools, and a self-care focus, learn how to live in health. Discover how lifelong healing comes from a greater understanding of who God is and who He created us to be.

Cayce views counseling as a sacred process that involves connection, recovery, and hope. Through her own clinical experience, she recognizes the courage it takes for clients to allow their vulnerability to overpower the paralysis of shame and fear. As Brene Brown once wrote, "You either walk into your story and own your truth, or you live outside of your story, hustling for your worthiness." Cayce's ultimate desire is to provide a safe place for you to come, be heard, and walk through your own story towards healing.

Each of us has our own unique path and challenges to navigate in this life. Many of us struggle to find the freedom to live out our truth and to follow our hearts because we are bound by societal and/or familial conditioning and programming that pressures us to fit into a certain mold that may not align with who we are and what we find to be true. This binding can often show up as anxiety or unhappiness, and many of us have trauma that continues to live in our bodies influencing the ways in which we react to what we encounter in life. We can work together to understand and alleviate what is keeping you from being more free.

Spirituality Support Groups
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
