Therapists Beginning With L in Tennessee

Everyone faces hardships and needs someone to walk alongside them through life’s challenges. I believe in holding space for my clients to feel seen, accepted, and safe within the therapeutic relationship. I view each individual as having unique and priceless value and feel collaborating with clients is an honor. I believe that strength, resilience, and growth are the rewards of those who dare to face and persevere through painful experiences toward healing.

Yo! I’m Payton, I’m an openly queer + nonbinary human and my pronoun are they/she! I think that humans are the coolest. My philosophy as an Identity Doula + Healing Practitioner takes into consideration that every human and every situation is different, thus unique tools and approaches are required for unique people and things. Sessions with me will go beyond standard talk therapy, as it is my personal and professional opinion that humans often heal with art, movement, visuals, embodiment, activities, and music better than they do with standard talk therapy alone. (Try to think of this as fun and exciting, not scary or awkward!)

Modern relationships are HARD. Maybe you have found it hard to find the right person or have started to question whether the person you are with now could possibly be the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your current marriage or dating situation. You’ve probably made choices or overlooked things that you now regret, yet, here you are. Or, maybe you have a relationship at work with a boss and coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires. Or, maybe you are even so far gone that you are more checked-

Sometimes life can throw us a major curve; sometimes a lot of smaller curve balls can hit us all at once. Sometimes the faith of our childhood is no longer serving us well, and causing us more conflict and trauma than comfort. Sometimes painful memories can resurface and dominate our lives. Many times we feel we’re experiencing these things alone, when, in fact, most of us go through them. Sometimes it’s helpful to have someone to talk with and help us gain needed perspective. I specialize in helping folks integrate these and other issues into a more coherent, whole outlook.

I am licensed in Tennessee with 25 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

One of the most meaningful parts of the human experience is being in relationship. Whether it’s premarital, marital/partnership or divorce adjustment, I love to help couples discern the kindest, safest, most loving way to navigate their world. The relationships we had with our primary caregivers often serve as a template for how we negotiate romantic partnership, and those models don’t always work for us. We carry the stories of all attachment relationships with us, and they impact the way we interact with our partners. When the going gets tough and love itself is not enough, how do we turn toward our chosen ones instead of away?

I work well with clients who are driven toward growth and hungry for insight. I am here to help individuals who are seeking to find stability, discover their value and worth, and bring health and restoration to their relationships.

Are you constantly overthinking and struggle to live in the present? Do you find yourself getting caught in a spiral of self-criticism that leaves you feeling unmotivated to do the things you really want to do with your life? How very human of you! As a therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and trauma-related stress, I enjoy showing clients that they are in charge of their lives (despite what their fear tells them). Using a self-compassion and strengths-based lens, I offer clients the permission to accept themselves and start living the life they deserve to live.

Accepting new clients - My mission is for each client to find their true self and voice and see that so many of our negative storylines and scripts are just programming we have picked up throughout our lives. My heart is to follow each client's lead on where he or she needs to go versus my own agenda and / or preferences. I believe that it is in allowing space for our experiences of our full humanity that we realize that at our most fundamental level our essence is actually good and true.

After someone you love dies the world changes. You may even wonder how you will continue to live on carrying your grief that can be so heavy. Finding space to make sense of complex feelings such as love, regret, anger and sadness can be a difficult task. Grieving can feel so painful and so lonely. It can also feel messy or too quiet. Grief is a deeply personal experience that is also meant to be shared, so that you may find a path forward on your healing journey.

My goal, as a therapist, is to help others create their own happiness by empowering strengths and learning to overcome weaknesses. Depression and feeling overwhelmed in work, relationships, and daily activities is a common experience for most of us. People often need help in resolving conflict with others, wish to stop a bad habit, or desire to understand their self-worth.

Having spent many years in the music industry, I bring a unique perspective to counseling. In my time as a performing artist, I gained a deep understanding of what moves people and how connection can happen between anyone when we see each other’s humanity. I work with adults and adolescents looking to increase their overall wellness, cope with depression and anxiety, cope with grief, and increase autonomy as they navigate the challenges of an ever-changing world. I also hope to empower individuals in the creative and LGBTQIA+ communities on their self-acceptance and self-love journeys.

Accepting new clients... You want unconditional love. You want peace and happiness. You want to laugh, and feel good about yourself again. You have decided, that now is the time, for your pursuit of happiness, to begin. You are ready to move forward, towards the life you dream of having for yourself. I have helped numerous clients, move beyond their traumatic experiences, to achieve their personal goals, and I will do the same for you. Together, we will work on identifying the underlying issues and relational patterns that sabotage your chance at an incredible life.
