Anxiety Therapists in Memphis, TN

First I want to say, Congratulations! You have done the first step by reaching out to a therapist. Now, I welcome you to join me in reflecting on your past to lead to your healing. Have you wondered why you feel stuck in a cycle of negative events? Often, it’s caused by a need for healing from the past. I specialize in helping people (individuals and couples) to heal from the trauma of their past and free themselves from negative cycles. This is done by the use of Solution Focused Therapy, as well as a collaboration of other systemic therapeutic models.

In my practice I typically work with adults individually (in one-on-one sessions). Many of my clients have experienced problems with mood, particularly anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are needing assistance with difficult relationships, trauma recovery, transitional life issues, and stress management.

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Tennessee with 5 years of experience with children, adults and families. My background includes inpatient care at Vanderbilt University Medical Center as well as behavioral therapy in Boston, MA. I have experience in many areas but specialize in a few. The first is individuals (children, adolescents and adults) that are neurodiverse, specifically struggling with Autism or ADHD. Additionally, I love working with parents/caregivers to support through new diagnosis and behavior challenges. Finally, I have a passion for working with clients experiencing anxiety disorders such as GAD or OCD.

The way you tell your story to yourself matters. - Amy Cuddy We each have a story to tell and that story creates how we see ourselves, how we interact with the world around us, and how we manage the challenges life places in front of us. I approach therapy from the viewpoint that our personal story matters and we can change and shape our story through the therapeutic process. I utilize narrative therapy techniques to increase people's ability to have insight and self-awareness. I am also trained in expressive art therapies using Archetype imagery such as tarot and oracle cards. I am Pagan and alternative spirituality friendly.

My passion is to see my clients being successful in healing and thriving. From my experience, each individual has unique needs. I work with clients to address such needs with tailored therapies, counseling, and education. I am a bilingual therapist and counselor who approaches humans with empathy, dignity, and no judgment. I am fluent in both English and Spanish and see clients in both languages. I use evidence-based therapies to meet the needs of individuals, families, and groups.

I want to help others that are having a difficult time in their life. I have been in practice for over 20 years and I work with a wide variety of people, including those with depression and anxiety. I try to use a humanistic approach with pragmatic goal setting. At the first session, we will develop a plan to help assist your specific needs.

Life can be difficult at times. It is nice to have someone you can confide in about life struggles you are experiencing. Pain unfortunately is a part of the human experience. There are many reasons we may seek therapy, but regardless of your reason, we could all benefit from a little extra support in life, especially when times are rough. I am dedicated to helping individuals, adolescents, and families.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in Person-Centered therapy in which the relationship between client and clinician is a priority and is based in mutual trust and respect, empathy and congruence. I use integrative techniques in every session to meet the unique needs of each client, such as CBT, trauma-informed therapy and mindfulness-based therapy. I believe that individuals are experts on themselves and because of this I take a collaborative approach in working with clients, utilizing what is known as Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) to get client input in evaluating progress and clients’ needs.

Are you struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, or stress? I'm a licensed counselor with a decade's expertise working with teenagers, college students, and adult women. My mission is to guide you through life's obstacles and help you gain the necessary skills to prosper. I approach therapy with compassion and without judgement, encouraging my clients to become resilient, increase self-awareness, and foster meaningful relationships.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents ages 2-17 years old who are struggling with emotional and behavioral issues at home or school. It has been my honor for the past 28 years to work as a clinician with children and their parents as they navigate life.

Have you been struggling to get through life lately? Maybe you often feel anxious, burned out, overwhelmed, or as if want to give up. Yes, life is full of twists and turns. Sometimes these twists and turns can make you feel as if you are going to lose control. Whether this is a new feeling for you or it is an old, reoccurring feeling I am here to help. Giving up is not the answer, but seeking help is the key. Imagine not constantly feeling overwhelmed, burned out, worried, depressed or anxious. I will assist you in your journey towards a place of peaceful balanced living. I invite you to schedule an appointment with me today.

I welcome anyone seeking to find a safe space to explore emotional, mental, and behavioral issues that are impacting their life. If you are unsure of your goals or what direction in life to take to get there, I can help you explore your current situation and the patterns your past has in influencing you today. You do not need a game plan - just a willingness to put your toe in the water and take a chance at finding a life worth living.

Therapy is a collaborative/interactive process that allows you the freedom as well as the privacy to discuss issues that are too painful or difficult to discuss with your family and/or friends. Together, we will explore what brings you distress as well as what brings you relief. Therapy is designed to help empower you to accomplish mental health wellness and treatment goals. For therapy to be most effective, it is imperative that you take an active part in your treatment journey.

Sometimes, life can feel overwhelming and a way to change the things you don't like may seem impossible. We all have times of challenge. Because even when hope feels small, it is there waiting there waiting to be discovered. I enjoy getting to know my clients and seeing them succeed. I have been working as an LCSW for over 10 years and love what I do. I obtained my Masters in Social Work through University of Tennessee. I have practiced with teenagers and adults to identify and learn ways to better manage emotions allowing more control over symptoms of mood disorders, anxiety, and anger.

In a world that continues to turn with or without us, we often wonder where we can get off in order to regroup. When we are expected to fulfill all of the everyday roles that we have taken on, we tend to lose touch with ourselves. My purpose is to provide an open, restorative and non-judgmental healing space for you. I am pleased to work with individuals who want help with anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. As well as providing support during life transitions, unexpected changes and personal growth.

Our thoughts and feelings affect every part of our lives. They can often be guided by our trauma, anxiety, depression, or life stressors. My goal as a therapist is to work with clients to process and learn ways to live more fully. I lean heavily on focusing on the client’s internal strengths to learn effective strategies. I am guided by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution focused techniques. My experience has given me the opportunity to work with all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, and phase of life issues. It is my goal to provide the client with a safe space free of judgement.

If you’ve found yourself here, it’s likely because you’re experiencing a struggle that won’t go away, no matter how hard you’ve tried. Are you anxious, unable to calm your thoughts, or declutter your mind? Do you feel stuck, unmotivated, or engage in harmful or unhealthy patterns? If any of these resonated with you, don’t worry! You’re not alone. While it can be tough to be in this space, therapy provides the opportunity to face these challenges head-on and with someone who will fully support you! As a therapist, I meet my clients where they are on their healing journey, and empower them to grow further.

Are you tired of repeating the same old patterns? Do you feel disconnected from your life? Are you wondering if what you're feeling is "normal?" My therapeutic mission is to provide clients with clear guidance, compassionate encouragement, and sound accountability in a safe and non-judgmental environment. My style is relational, direct, and genuine.

Life can be difficult and challenging. We are often taught and develop maladaptive ways of coping just to get by. At some point in our life we could benefit from education and guidance on how to make improvements leading to a healthier more fulfilling life. That is the goal in therapy: to foster healing that leads to balance in one’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. This may look different for each client. Some people need to simply be heard, others need to learn and make changes in their present life, and others need to process pain from their past that is still affecting them today.
