EMDR Therapists in Green Hills, Nashville, TN

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, adoption, trauma, and parenting problems. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I have worked in a variety of settings including residential, mobile crisis, outpatient, and in-home. I feel like that is important to explain as, it means that I have had experience working with a broad range and severity of clinical issues. I have the most experience working with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, family/relationship conflicts, life transitions, and complex trauma/abuse.

Since 1984, Brentwood Counseling Associates has been one of the most trusted group practices in the greater Nashville area. Our seasoned clinicians work with adults and children in individual therapy, as well as couples and families in relationship counseling. We treat depression, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, career issues, grief/loss, and any other life circumstance that’s getting in the way of happiness or performance. In addition, we also offer ADHD evaluation and treatment.

If you've made it this far, you're ready for a change. You may not be certain what that change needs to be, but you know that things can't keep going the way they are. Maybe you're sick and tired of being depressed or anxious all the time. Maybe your relationships are in trouble and you need help fixing them. Maybe your teenager is in trouble and they need someone to talk to because you've run out of answers.

We are created for relationships and community. This crisis is testing the bounds of these relationships. My counseling approach focuses on healing and strength through emotional, cognitive, and spiritual aspects of relationship through individual and family therapy.

I believe that one of the greatest power and influence in our lives are our relationships with others. It is from relationships that all of our trauma, negativity, and heartache originate; however, it is only through relationships that we can also find true healing for prior wounds that continue to determine present actions and emotions. The difference in these two kinds of relationships is honesty, vulnerability, and reciprocity: a mutual connection that cultivates intimacy and acceptance by removing shame and anxiety. It is only through these authentic relationships that we can truly feel complete and secure in our own skin.

Finding it difficult to cope? Experiencing problems in your most significant relationships? Facing a crisis or loss? Feeling stressed out, burnt out, maxed out, out of ideas, out of it? Help is available! I'm a licensed psychotherapist in Tennessee, California, Florida, and Massachusetts. I have over 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples & families find solutions that are right for them! I offer a safe, supportive, confidential place to find answers and make changes that heal! Don't go through the hard times in life alone--everyone needs help sometimes. You deserve to be your best you!

My specialty areas are addiction, trauma, codependency, and mood disorders. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to develop tools and gain insight to create the life you deserve. I am honored to work with individuals, couples, and families seeking to improve the quality of their lives and relationships. Our past invisibly influences the present, shaping our current thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and behaviors. Psychotherapy is a partnership that helps to illuminate the next step on your path to a more peaceful, joyful life.

Learn to trust yourself, your body, and your intuition, using parts work, energy work, and trauma work to move through the stuckness holding you back. This work is done oh, so gently and lovingly, and I believe this is the only way truly to go as deep in healing as we need. Reverent, consensual, trauma-informed, and non-pathologizing. You'll use mind-body, mindfulness, and energy work to get through the hard stuff so you can live the life you love and actually align with. (We do what's safe for *you* and sometimes that means avoiding meditation stuff.) Everything changes when you don't have to constantly second-guess yourself.

I work with individuals needing help with life transitions, relationships (family, dating, spouse) and/or those who are wanting to take a look at their relationships with substances, food, and/or money. Maybe you came from a "good" family, where your parents meant well but lacked some emotional skills that it would be helpful to talk about and get some healing so your relationship with yourself and others improves. I work with adults of all ages who are open-minded, self improvers who are eager for change. For more info check out www.megan-flores.com

“I can't take much more. Something needs to change now." You feel overwhelmed and unfulfilled. You're looking for relief from constant anxiety, panic, numbness, grief, relationship conflict, or self-criticism. It may have been a while since you felt "normal." You're ready to figure out what's wrong. You're ready to heal the parts of yourself that keep you stuck, grow into the person you've always known you could be, and connect with yourself and others in new and fulfilling ways. You feel like a supportive therapist could help.

Managing life’s challenges can overwhelming. Whether juggling typical ups and downs or coping with loss, trauma, major upset, or crisis, I have found that clients seek therapy with me because they are tired of feeling alone in their struggles and want an emotional connection with an experienced therapist who is empathic, caring, understanding, and non-judgmental. I work with a variety of clients and issues, including depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma, addictions, or relationship conflicts. At the core, I think clients are searching for happiness, fulfillment, and purpose in life.

Immediate Availability For AETNA Clients. I believe that relationships are the foundation of our functioning. Relationships give us a multitude of places that can be fraught with difficulties, opportunities for conflict, and certainly come with a frequent and sometimes intense ebb and flow of emotions. Each of these relationships continue to help us as we learn and grow, becoming ever more insightful and healthy people. Whether you need a supportive and listening ear, a fresh perspective, or someone to help you learn and implement new skills, I’m here to help.

Education professionals, I intentionally and wholeheartedly hold space for you. The challenges and even barriers to show up in instructional environments are vast. Sometimes, they are also internal. Perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and people pleasing are just a few daily battles often faced as you navigate the many hats you balance in your professional and personal lives. Prioritizing a time for you to process your experiences can start in your own home. Virtual therapy can provide that safe space needed for processing, exploring, and nurturing our compassionate selves to combat the demands of the day.

I am passionate about working with adult and teen clients, who are experiencing a wide range of difficulties. Most frequently, I work with clients struggling with anxiety and depression, as well as individuals yearning for change, managing life transitions, dealing with relationship challenges, or looking for coping skills to better handle stress. I will tailor my treatment approach to meet your specific needs and work from a holistic lens, utilizing evidence-based practices to integrate aspects of mental, physical, and emotional well-being.

I believe that we are designed to exist with the whole of ourselves being able to commune together and take up space. Maybe you even believe it and yet as hard as you have tried, there are just some places within yourself that feel impossible to get to, some patterns that feel impossible to move out of, some emotional expressions and experiences that feel so out of reach. Or maybe you just feel stuck. Stuck in ways you can name and in some you can’t even put words to. Maybe it’s been like this forever — maybe you can’t even think of a time when you didn’t have to be vigilant or anxious or disconnected from parts of yourself.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples break free from feeling stuck, whether in their personal lives, relationships or careers. If you need support or guidance through overcoming past traumas, exploring emotional blocks or performance anxiety, I am here to help. We will collaborate to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. I have a particular passion for working with athletes and creatives with an understanding of these fields to enhance mental resilience, creativity and sports performance. I am dedicated to empowering my clients to achieve their potential, both personally and professionally.

You feel like know one understands you. Life is lonely at times. Life has conditioned you to believe things are supposed to go a certain way. You feel bad about yourself when your experience does not compare to societal standards. What if I told you societal standards are the problem and not you?

I focus on working with women. I am passionate about partnering with my clients to help them in living a fuller life. Women face unique challenges through emotional struggles and life transitions. My goal is to help women as they experience anxiety, trauma-related issues, chronic illness, maternal mental health issues, life transitions, and more by building upon their strengths and helping them navigate situations in a healthy, responsive manner.
