Anxiety Therapists in Nashville, TN
I'm especially skilled with depression, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, stress, perfectionism, narcissism and survivors of narcissistic abuse, relationships, intimacy, and family dynamics.
I believe in personalized therapy that reduces symptoms, enhances personal wellness and reflects state-of-the-art scientific research and treatment methods. Many people are not sure if therapy is right for them. These individuals are often drawn to my approach because I focus on personal empowerment, encourage questions about the process, and develop very unique and collaborative treatment plans.

I especially enjoy working with clients who experience issues related to eating disorders, disordered eating, developmental trauma/family of origin, emotional neglect, anxiety, and depression.
Instead of being taught how to cope skillfully with painful experiences and feelings, many of us are taught to numb, hide, or ignore them. This often intensifies the suffering, and also is often the only thing we know. I provide a safe space where clients can express, process, and learn about their thoughts, feelings, and emotions without judgment. I help clients to develop more workable coping skills and habits so that they can move toward their goals and live in alignment with identified values. If "being positive" hasn't worked for you, you may be in the right place.

Most of us are truly doing the best we know how to do, and as your therapist it is my job to meet you wherever you may be! By using a variety of hands-on resources, together we will work collaboratively to make meaning of past experiences, explore current situations and equip you with the tools you need to live in the fullness of life. I specialize in working with women and teens walking through life transitions, experiencing disordered eating/ eating disorders, navigating spiritual concerns or working to manage anxiety and panic. I know first hand that sharing the most intimate parts of yourself can be overwhelming.

This approach not only lessens anxiety going into the therapeutic experience but helps to build rapport and address issues on a relatable level.
In today’s world, women and girls are faced with unimaginable stressors in everyday life — negative criticism from parents and friends about body image, anxiety and stress regarding world news, and difficulties relating to bullying, communication, and relationship difficulties on social media just to name a few. These everyday issues can trigger depression, anxiety, and trauma — not to mention exacerbate already present mental health issues such as mood disorders, eating disorders, or OCD. Our goal is to open up a conversation for women and girls to speak freely and openly about their mental heath in a space that supports women.

I specialize in treating eating disorders/disordered eating, anxiety, body image concerns, self-worth/self-criticism, relationship issues, and life transitions.
People choose to come to therapy for so many reasons. They feel overwhelmed, tired, stuck, or numb. As a therapist, I aim to provide a nonjudgmental space for people to feel and be understood. Oftentimes, the things keeping us stuck are the strategies we've developed over time to cope with hardship. Therapy is about addressing what is no longer working for you and connecting with your inner wisdom to develop new ways of relating to yourself & the world. I work with my clients to cultivate emotional awareness, learn skills to respond adaptively to difficult emotions, and increase connection within themselves and their relationships.

Hi! I'm Kevin- your mindful therapist for the LGBTQIA+ community, trauma survivors, and those battling the twists and turns of anxiety and depression. I think of therapy like gardening. Taming the overgrowth of ignored emotions, tending to the roots of your experiences, and pruning away what no longer serves you. I am here to support you as you hone your green thumb for personal growth. It takes work and sometimes is uncomfortable. But thankfully discomfort leads to growth. Together, we'll meet that discomfort in a different way to cultivate an inner landscape where you can flourish.

Anxiety can be destructive on your life. Change can be a great opportunity and scary. Anxiety and stress are unfortunately lifelong, and can ebb and flow at different levels when events, often outside of our control, converge at the same time! The same with Depression, and it is such a dark place to be when you feel all alone, not sure how to get yourself out of the pit of sadness. It is during those times, when having a therapist can truly help you calm your mind and re-focus on tasks to re-claim yourself. Maybe you are you facing a career change? Together we will find ways to heal and return to your life!

Being human. Along with the beautiful parts of life comes pain, struggle, and trauma. Each of us deserve a safe person with whom they can address these things and achieve real healing. Real relief. My first goal when beginning work with clients is to create that place where they can be their authentic selves and feel accepted. To give them unconditional support. With this relationship formed, the deeper and holistic work can begin. Healing can happen. If you're struggling with self-esteem, trauma, mood disorders, substance use...or just struggling at all, we can work together to help you find peace.

I work with people who struggle with negative self-image, deep sadness, anxiety, shame, and more.
You put your best foot forward but struggle to acknowledge the good in your life. You put on a brave face and constantly show up for others but neglect your own needs. You have been conditioned to say “everything is fine” and hide how you really feel. Sometimes you may even feel like you don’t deserve joy.
