Therapists in Tennessee

Hey there! I’m so glad you’re here. Asking for help is one of the strongest - and scariest - things a person can do. I would love to provide a comfortable and safe space for you to explore the things you want to change. Together we can think about pieces of your life that are sticky, that take up too much space. I’m here to be an unbiased sounding board, a shoulder to lean on, and someone who can call you out when you need it (we all need that sometimes). I aim to create an environment of openness and honesty, so we can cut through the surface level niceties and get to the heart of your needs.

I currently have a long waitlist! I understand the concern and confusion that parents may have when their child experiences difficulties in school, home, or elsewhere. I believe in working together with parents to help their children. I take time to get to know my clients so I can offer the most appropriate, individualized care for them. I trained in educational and behavioral psychology and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. In addition to direct treatment services, I am able to provide evaluations with extensive reports to aid in treatment planning.

Have you ever been told when life gives you lemons make lemonade? Well, like most people unless you have a plan or a “recipe” then it is difficult to know where to start. I want to help you with tools and techniques to create your own “recipe” for the current journey you are on. First and foremost, I want to commend you for taking the first steps toward seeking treatment with finding a therapist. It took a lot of courage and inner strength to know your emotional health is the key ingredient to your “recipe” for balance in life.

Life is hard and we all need a supportive safe space from time to time to process and heal. I walk with my clients through the trials of life with compassion and 30 years of experience bringing an accepting presence, clinical expertise and if desired, the wisdom of a Christian worldview.

I am dedicated to supporting individuals in their journey towards healing and well-being. l strive to provide a compassionate and safe space for individuals to explore their experiences and work towards healing. Drawing upon evidence-based therapeutic approaches, I tailor my counseling sessions to meet the unique needs of each client. I believe in the power of a collaborative therapeutic relationship, where individuals feel empowered and supported as they navigate their healing process. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, TF-CBT, DBT, IFS, IFT, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy.

I have worked with adolescents, adults and 65 and up patients for years. Have also worked in juvenile and adult court in the past as well as in intensive outpatient and in mental health at a hospital setting. I attended the University of Tennessee and graduated in 1997 with my Masters in Social Work. I have experience with trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, anxiety disorders and obsessive compulsive disorder. I work with Cognitive processing therapy, Cognitive Behavior therapy, Mindfulness, Exposure therapy, and behavioral therapy as well as couple's therapy.

Juliet brings a fun-loving and flexible approach to her work with clients, while also offering support, empathy and structure for families in crisis. She appreciates the person holistically and meets clients where they are.

Welcome to my practice! You inspire me! It takes a great deal of courage to reach out and ask for help and I admire that! Sometimes our expected life path shifts and it can feel extremely overwhelming to find our footing and get back on track to living the life we deserve. My blended therapeutic approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness can help you do just that. I strongly believe that in order to make meaningful changes in our lives, we have to get to the core beliefs (both about the self and about the world we live in) that are driving our behaviors.

There is nothing more difficult than struggling and not knowing where to turn for help. I would be honored to come alongside you as you navigate this process. I work with teens (12 and up) and adults who are experiencing eating disorders/disordered eating, body image issues, anxiety/OCD, depression, and PTSD. It is my goal to help you transform trauma into wisdom, author new stories, and assist you in tapping into your inherent resilience, strength, and worthiness. It is my belief that all of us are capable of healing and recovery, of becoming our truest, most beautiful selves.

Ever feel like the princess-and-the-pea: so acutely aware of something to the point of distraction and pain, but unable to get relief? And on top of that, no one else seems to get it? Or maybe you’re like Goldilocks: trying to find your “just right” of whatever it is you’re seeking, but your problem-solving keeps coming up short? Perhaps you believe fairytale analogies are irrelevant and are thinking, I just want help, literally. If any of this resonates, let’s talk.

I’m passionate about working with those experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship or peer stress, familial conflict, life transitions and those struggling with self-esteem/body image. Often, these experiences are interwoven and we can work together to create a plan to untangle these multifaceted areas of life.

All of us are born inherently valuable and that never changes. Unfortunately, things like depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD and addiction may have us questioning that truth. We often become our own worst critic especially at a time when we need encouragement, guidance and perspective the most. Since I began working in mental health my primary mission has been to challenge the negative self-talk, that only keeps us in a downward depressed cycle. My approach is rooted in person-centered therapy along with cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, experiential therapy and EMDR depending on the client’s needs.

I believe that seeking support and guidance during challenging times is a natural part of life. As a seasoned mental health professional with extensive experience in counseling, I am dedicated to assisting individuals in navigating trauma, daily stressors, and other personal difficulties. It is important to recognize that seeking help does not mean there is something inherently wrong with you, as we all face struggles at some point in our lives.

Therapy is a wonderful tool for those times in life when we feel overwhelmed or anxious. Whether those times are found in our hardest moments or in the challenges of every day, I look forward to working together to navigate these uncertainties. Please feel free to reach out to request an initial appointment via my website.

Are you feeling alone, overwhelmed, or just lost in life? Does the pain you're experiencing feel constant and unremitting? This is a trying time, but there is a way through this turmoil; an opportunity for change. I work with individuals and couples who want a thorough therapy experience that is growth-oriented. Our relationships, our thinking, and our behaviors (and how they all work together) are key and are the focus of my work. I'm an authentic and compassionate guide that can help you create meaningful, long-lasting changes in your life. You can expect me to listen and engage with your process to get you where you want to be.

Often, we find ourselves traveling through life not trusting to share our challenges, thoughts and feelings with the external world. Together we can explore what you’re facing. Whether you’re experiencing Depression, Anxiety, Attachments and Negative Thinking, you don’t have to make the journey alone. My treatment approach enhances the Wholistic Person. I am someone that will work alongside of you in a safe and trusting environment. “You Only Need a Heart Full of Grace and a Soul Generated by Love" ~ Dr. Martin Luther King "Together We're Better".

Are you ready for change? Are you tired of the ways things are going? Let's work together to create a plan, an action plan, of how we can get you to where you want to be. I work with children, teens, and adults who are dealing with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, trauma, parenting, behavioral issues, emotion regulation, grief, life transitions, anger, children in divorce / custody situations, and stress. I am a great fit for someone who is seeking a supportive, engaging, empowering, confidential, goal focused, and healing space.

Welcome! I am with a small practice on music row. We have a cozy office with plenty of plants, candles, and pillows. My areas of expertise include disordered eating patterns, body image issues, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and trauma. I see both adolescents and adults throughout their journey of life, which I think is always better when you have a compassionate therapist at your side. We will do the hard stuff but also have a lot of laughs along the way!
