Teletherapy for Tennessee

If you struggle with overwhelming emotions, I can teach you skills in a supportive, engaging environment. You can join my Online DBT skills training groups from anywhere in the world. I also offer Individual DBT therapy for people in Tennessee, including Skills Coaching by phone, Individual Therapy and group. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a highly effective, well researched therapy. The work demands a lot from Therapist and client. And it is worth it! Most clients report that my sense of humor and authenticity is one of the reasons they like working with me. I really value the use of "irreverence" in DBT.

Offering sessions in Art Therapy to support chronic illness, grief and loss, and burnout. Throughout our lives, loss can show up in many forms: the loss of a job, the loss of a relationship, the loss of health, the loss of fertility, and of course the loss of life. All of these experiences can have the same intense effects as the death of a loved one. They can leave us feeling shattered, lost, and alone. Our modern-day way of life does not provide us with the rituals or guides we need to properly care for ourselves, find relief and support, and effectively grieve these losses when they occur. I understand, and I’m here to help.

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and alone in these feelings? I am here to help you see that you are not alone and there is a way out. Whether it is overcoming struggles at work or in the home, trauma, substance use disorders, life transitions, sexuality, etc., I provide a warm, non-judgmental environment to explore the areas of difficulty and help you find attainable goals to help you feel empowered and at peace with yourself.

I work with adults who are seeking greater connection to their bodies and innate creativity. Adults seeking personal transformation will develop their intuition and enhance their connection to self and others through dance/movement therapy. Whether someone has never danced before or has a movement background, this work can help heal trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and disordered eating. Many clients wonder if this is doable in telehealth, and it is! We also use a great deal of talking, implementing coping skills, optional homework, and EMDR when appropriate.

Is your child struggling with excessive worries or fears, frequent yelling or hitting, trouble with peers, trouble sleeping, wetting the bed, clinginess, withdrawn, angry, or mean to others? As a parent, you may feel exhausted, lose patience, unsure of how to help, or want another perspective. I work with your child and family to provide a path for personal growth, learn healthy coping skills, build a stronger connection, improve communication, resolve conflicts, and have fun! Parents will learn how to co-regulate and manage challenging behaviors. I meet your child and family where you are to move toward healing and understanding.

In my work, I believe in partnering with each client to understand their unique experiences and point of view. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to clients of all backgrounds in which we can explore issues of the past and present, as well as identifying personal strengths, values, and goals. In order to support the therapeutic process, I focus on exploring personal narratives, strengthening systems of support, and developing new communication and coping skills.

I believe a happier world starts with calm, well-adjusted people. So I help parents and adults who are struggling to remain calm and act effectively, due to their own painful childhoods, go from stressed and overwhelmed to feeling calm and in-control; spending more confident, happy times with their children through relatable, supportive, one-on-one, trauma-focused therapy sessions. People who benefit from my services tend to be millennials who have made as much progress as they can on their own and who are now motivated to embark on this journey of recovery.

One of my biggest struggles in life has been finding ways to show up authentically. As a Black, non-binary and queer person, finding spaces that validate core aspects of my identity have been challenging. It’s an honor to hold space for individuals who are struggling to find their voice and place in the world. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space where you feel accepted, respected, and understood. I enjoy working with individuals from marginalized and underserved communities (BIPOC, LGBTQ+). My practice is intersectional, collaborative, based in a social justice framework, and sex positive.

Do you find yourself completely exhausted at the end of each day from the effort it takes to go through the motions? Maybe you spend so much time focused on internal worries or past experiences that you feel disconnected from those around you or like life is passing you by. The clients I work with share these struggles. Despite being hard-working, successful, and invested in their relationships, they often feel as though their efforts are never enough. They just don't feel like themselves. Whether you've been feeling this way for a while or noticed a recent shift, you deserve to feel like yourself again.

“I feel stuck…I’m not sure what to do…I don’t feel like myself…I'm overwhelmed…” Do any of those thoughts sound familiar? Are you lacking self-confidence, not sure of who you are, and trying to adjust to various life changes (university, the pandemic, new baby, new job, etc…)? If you are ready for a change, I can help you say “bye” to that mean critical voice inside your head. I will help you to slow down, walk through a journey of self-discovery, & give you the tools needed to have the audacity to be yourself.

You're exhausted and overwhelmed by life, it's just too much and you feel like a failure. The to-do list goes on forever, the kids always need YOU and you're not sure that you're really enough. Maybe you've been feeling sad, anxious, irritable, and disconnected from those you love. Or when you first woke up this morning everything felt okay for a minute, but then you remembered, and it was like a punch in your gut, all the heartbreak and loss, all the pain, came rushing back over you. You want to feel like you again, to let go of the past, to be able to enjoy life and be present in the moment with the people that you care about.

Anxiety and worry have become overwhelming, while depression drains the energy and joy from your days. It feels like you’re caught in a relentless storm where every attempt to escape just pulls you deeper. “Is this really all there is?” It’s exhausting trying to keep up appearances, especially when no one seems to understand your struggle. Relationships suffer, and emotions become uncontrollable—anger and tears take over, sleep is restless, and negativity feels relentless and all- consuming. Nothing you’ve tried has helped and nothing is working out. It’s frightening, leaving you feeling helpless and alone.

I am a licensed therapist in TN, and am certified in EMDR the Safe and Sound Protocol. I specialize in EMDR therapy for adults and kids which can help you live in the present and fully resolve your past. My goldendoodle, Baymax, also joins me for some of my sessions to support clients.

Hey there! My name is Sandra and I work with folks dealing with burnout, grief, self-discovery and life transitions. Are you ready to feel like yourself again? Ready to feel more self-compassion and more connection with your body, your life and your people? My work helps folks find more joy in everyday life.

I help individuals, couples, and families who are seeking support with symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, or find themselves in challenging seasons of life due to change or transition.

A genuine, trusting relationship is the essential basis for psychological healing and growth. Within that framework, we incorporate the tools and strategies for change that seem most suited to each individual's preferences, worldview and primary concerns. We believe in partnering with individuals by combining our training in evidence-based interventions with the strengths and resources they possess to best facilitate change. We believe in addressing all areas of a person's life: emotional, physical, social, and spiritual.

Have you lost someone you love through death or other means? Is it now difficult to navigate life? Are you now questioning your beliefs? Others may not understand how deeply this loss impacts you. Perhaps you feel that you don't have time or permission to grieve. Often, those who are experiencing grief feel immobilized, struggle to complete day-to-day tasks, and fear the future. Some feel immense anger or have trouble feeling anything at all. Frequently, we feel alone, isolated with our loss. As a survivor myself, I can relate. Grief can feel as if your entire world has shattered. I can help you regroup and pick up the pieces.
