Adults Therapists in Murfreesboro, TN

Everyone has their reasons for seeking out therapy, I approach it with the understanding that everyone needs some extra support in life especially during times of transition and stress. Individuals often need a place to process their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, beliefs, values, trauma, relationships, expectations, disappointments, roles, coping methods, development. I feel privileged to meet clients where they are at in that process, and collaboratively identify where they would like to be. I work with adults and teens who have experienced past and present trauma, grief/loss, and persons dealing with everyday stress and life.

I have a genuine interest in learning and connecting with others. I strive for authenticity, acceptance, awareness, autonomy, compassion, and a growth mindset for myself and for my clients. While techniques and modalities may vary depending on the client's goals, I first and foremost, strive to create for all clients a therapeutic environment centered upon safety, empathy, trust, and respect. As Brené Brown said, "Never underestimate the power of being seen."

My goal is to build a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in collaboration, empathy, and trust. Committed to seeing each client as unique, I practice from a strength based and person-centered approach so you can get to your best self and experience lasting change. My clients rely on me to help make sense of the issues bringing them into therapy and also better understand how their family of origin, upbringing, and life experiences have impacted and continue to impact their mental well-being. I work with children, adolescents, teens, adults, couples, and families who may be experiencing a number of struggles or challenges.

At times life can be stressful and overwhelming leaving you feeling anxious, depressed, discouraged, or a mixture of emotions. I am available to help you navigate through not only the stressful times of life but also to help you deal with making difficult decisions, help you to understand your reactions to certain situations, assist you in wading through the depths of trauma, and other situations where it would be helpful to have a kind, nonjudgmental ear to listen and offer understanding.

Life can be hard, and sometimes we need some extra help and support to get through those difficult times. Whether it's dealing with young children or teenagers, relationship or family issues, anxiety or depression, the challenges of college life or jobs, or the curve ball that life throws at us, it can be stressful to manage, and can be helpful to have someone outside of the situation to talk with.

Everyone struggles with challenging emotions and situational stressors at some point in their lives. I teach people about how their emotions work, how to manage that emotional energy, and how to use that emotional energy to accomplish personal goals. I work individually with older adolescents (16+) and adults struggling with anxiety or depressive symptoms, challenging life situations, or problematic views of self find a way to navigate these challenges while learning and practicing preventative coping strategies.

Sometimes we come to a time in our life when we can use some guidance. I love working with people to help them along their way. We can explore what works for you and what doesn't. Together we can figure out where you want to go from here and how to get there. I've helped many adults and youth with personal growth as they navigated through life stressors and transitions.

I feel a person should have a safe, nurturing environment to help them through their journey. I feel a person does not always have to have a mental illness to seek counseling perhaps they just need to vent or need someone to listen with an unbiased opinion. I feel children need help understanding and labeling their feelings so they can better communicate with parents and caregivers.

I am Beth Ann Mergens, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a wife, and mother to five amazing children. Over the last 15 years I have navigated the ups and downs that come with raising kids a variety of ages, the tension of both releasing and nurturing a professional life, and living intentionally in marriage and multiple pregnancy losses. I have spent much of my career focusing on helping people through trauma recovery – adults and children, large traumas and little ones. It is very important to me that my clients feel seen, known, and understood. Life is made up of stories, and yours is incredibly important.

I provide counseling and coaching to female teens and adults living with depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, relationship problems, self-esteem issues, major life transitions and maladaptive coping. Mental health and physical health are irrevocably connected—poor mental health can lead to poor physical health and harmful behaviours. Depression has been linked to many chronic illnesses. I take a holistic approach to therapy and discuss physical health/fitness and nutrition; emotional resilience; positive social connections; intellectual stimulation and spiritual fulfilment.

Going to therapy is cool! But seriously, everyone can benefit from therapy sessions - whether it’s to learn usable coping skills, process grief and loss, change unhealthy behaviors that you find yourself stuck in, or explore and fully feel your emotions. Life is hard and I’d be honored to work with you on any goals you have. Nothing is too silly, small or embarrassing to bring to our sessions!

I help guide children and young adults towards a mentally and emotionally healthy life, where they have the tools to pursue their best selves. Life often throws the unexpected at us, and we need someone to help us through life stressors, family conflicts, exploring our identity, and finding goals and direction in life.

In my personal and professional life I have developed a deep passion for working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I utilize various forms of therapy to help clients learn to better cope with mental, emotional, social, and/or behavioral struggles, and guide them towards health. I aim to help clients become emotionally resilient to the ongoing challenges that life continues to present! I empower clients to use their voice, challenge negative core beliefs, and celebrate their gifts and talents. Common areas of practice for me are adoption, divorce care, ADHD, emotional regulation, self esteem struggles, anxiety, and more.

I work with teens, adults, families and couples looking to navigate life's transitions, learn to cope with anxiety and depression, strengthen bonds, learn effective communication skills and heal through trauma to mental wellness. I am looking for clients who want to feel better, who will do the work to get to the other side, of whatever is holding you back from being happy and well. I work with people ready for a real positive change, be that from day to day anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD, relationship struggles or negative family dynamics.

I am so happy you're here, as you step courageously into the therapeutic journey. I believe in order to heal, it is important to tell your story and be heard.

I have supported clients struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, self-esteem/body image challenges, grief, trauma, family dynamics and interpersonal relationships.
