Therapists Beginning With F in Tennessee

My clients are typically high achievers who may have found extraordinary success in many areas of their lives, but who: often feel inadequate; think they may be an impostor; are sick of self-help programs; don't seem to know peace or serenity; keep looking for happiness up ahead; recognize that their experiences don't match their passions; compromise their essential truth for the sake of appearances; aren't sure if they've found their unique purpose; create survival skills that then become new problems; strain to bring authentic connection to their relationships; and suffer the mental, emotional and physical pain of burnout.

I have been working as a licensed therapist in private practice as well as community mental health for 10 years now. I work with trauma, mood disorders, personality disorders, depression and anxiety. I strive to help my clients heal from past trauma, learn and utilize coping skills, and challenge and change negative thought patterns to more rational and positive ones.

Individuals: Life transitions, work-life balance, mind-body health, stress and overload, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

You deserve to live a life of overall wellness. Anxiety and trauma can make you feel stuck in cycles, impacting not only your personal well-being but also your connections with others. Unwanted thoughts and emotions can be overwhelming to process, leaving you struggling to communicate effectively. Maybe you are seeking a solution to combat your current processing patterns or want to feel more connected to yourself or others. My ultimate goal is to walk with you while exploring your emotions and thoughts without judgment.

Living with unprocessed trauma can feel like trying to keep a beachball under water. You can do it, but it requires a lot of your energy and if you let your attention slip, it will come exploding to the surface. But we do this because we feel we don’t know what we will do when we have to look the trauma in the face. We fear it will overwhelm us and we won’t be able to cope. But when the pain of your past traumatic event becomes too unbearable, you know that it’s time to do something about it.

Throughout my career I have been fortunate to work in both Residential and Community Mental Health settings and have partnered with a number of agencies in the Middle Tennessee area to provide services. During that time, I have developed a deep understanding of effective, evidence-based techniques to help individuals of all ages, as well as a broad range of presenting problems.

Welcome! I'm Kate, a therapist practicing in TN and CA. I have a passion for guiding individuals through life transitions and adjustments. With a deep understanding of the challenges that life transitions can bring, I am committed to walking alongside you during these moments of change and uncertainty. Together, we will work collaboratively to navigate life transitions, fostering personal growth, resilience, and healing. Whether you're adjusting to new life stages, managing unexpected changes, or seeking clarity and purpose, our sessions will encompass scientifically validated techniques and personal connection to promote healing.

Sometimes the problems we face feel insurmountable. At times, we even feel embarrassed or ashamed to talk about them. I provide a space for you to be accepted, listened to and understood. Using an evidence-based approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, you will learn the tools to help you make changes to your life - in line with your values.

I specialize in individual therapy for adults and couples counseling in Nashville, Brentwood, Music Row, and surrounding areas, as well as online therapy for residents of Tennessee and Florida. I am certified in Imago Relationship Therapy and Prepare/Enrich Premarital & Marital Counseling. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques and am trained in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well. I believe the therapeutic relationship should be supportive, honest, and collaborative. Using a nonjudgemental, affirming, and open approach, my aim is to provide a safe and nurturing atmosphere.

My client base is focused on the addict and those close to them who have been affected by the addict's behaviors. Clients entering the practice have found themselves caught in a destructive cycle of behaviors; often wishing they could stop, but find themselves continuing the behaviors. Then, there are those the addict has betrayed and hurt deeply through his or her behaviors. The affect of the behaviors have often left the loved ones traumatized and in need of support through the healing process.

There is no substitute for compassion in the counseling relationship. I believe in a whole-person approach. This means that everything is relevant: family of origin, unwanted life events, current relationships, physical health and well being, and everyday coping challenges. I assist my clients with life transitions, grief, early childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, chronic pain, relationship challenges, and spiritual issues. I endorse and have expertise in mindfulness-based practices and 12+ years of Hospice experience. Strengths: trusting relationships with my clients.

I work with adults who are navigating life's everyday challenges and transitions (e.g., Anxiety/Depression, Self-worth, Career issues, Grief, Parenthood, Relationship issues Marriage/ Divorce and much more. I also, offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing therapy) for Adults EMDR is not only used for PTSD but an array of clinical problems that can have positive life changing results.

Contemporary life is full of loneliness, stress, trauma and many faces of grief. Whether it be through setting long or short term therapeutic goals, I can help you create a new spirit of resilience.

Have you experienced emotional or physical abuse? Do you have a hard time calming down when you're upset? Do you have overwhelming thoughts and emotions? Have you been having a difficult time managing life since something big has happened? Experiencing trauma can make it difficult to control your emotions and have relationships with others. This makes it hard for you to trust other people and feel comfortable being vulnerable. I commonly see people who have experienced sexual abuse, traumatic childhood experiences, trauma from their religious community, and those who struggle coping with intense emotions and unresolved anger.
