Therapists in Nashville, TN

I curate my sessions to help you navigate these difficulties, allowing you to live with a greater sense of safety, connection, and satisfaction. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in relationships and intimacy. With years of clinical experience, I help clients to heal from anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, feeling stuck, or relationship issues, including infidelity, complex trauma, and abuse. I have many years of clinical experience working with diverse individuals and couples. My clients love my authenticity and healing space to nourish and grow in a safe space that aligns with their goals and values.

Do you feel stuck or lost in the midst of grief? Do you feel burdened by life’s transitions, existential concerns, or relational issues? Are you ready to re-claim your narrative and find meaning in your journey but unsure where to start? These struggles can feel overwhelming, stealing the best of our time, energy, and connections. You may notice intense emotions, ranging from despair, anger, guilt, anxiety, and everything in between. You might feel like you’ve lost hope. If you feel this describes you, I seek to provide you with a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your emotions, sit with the hard questions,

I recognize that the journey that brought you to therapy may not have been an easy one. I work to assist you in your self-exploration, learning, and growth by creating a safe, nurturing, respectful, yet challenging environment. I prioritize your autonomy and personal responsibility throughout the healing process.

Feeling stuck and want to get unstuck? Know something isn't working in life, but not exactly sure where to start? I work with clients to help them recover a full life. I specialize in working with: 1) couples struggling with communication and conflict resolution 2) professionals wanting more (i.e. income/raise, promotion, work-life balance) from work 3) addicts (sex, alcohol, narcotics) wanting freedom 4) narcissistic men wanting help in relationships or 'survivors' of narcissistic relationships seeking recovery 5) anyone wanting to grow their emotional communication and increase their interpersonal availability. I also specialize in group therapy facilitation.

Sometimes the pain and stressors of life become unbearable, or just prevent us from living life to the fullest, and we are left trying to figure out how to navigate it all. I am passionate about helping people experience true, lasting healing and become equipped with the tools and resiliency to navigate through life’s difficulties. I am a huge believer in the unique individuality of the therapeutic process and help clients find what works best for them and their goals.

Are you ready to release what no longer serves you to allow room for what you do want from life? Time to address the wounds, heal the hurts, and resolve the past? If so, I'd love to connect and assist you on your healing journey. Sometimes stress, traumas, and life can stifle the communication between mind and body. We will identify patterns, blocks, and strategize ways to embrace and expand your strengths. I utilize various experiential therapies to cater to the individual. Every person is unique, and I adapt treatment to accommodate your changes and growth. I facilitate release, somatic practices, hypnotherapy, and women's group

I am passionate about helping people overcome, heal, and succeed. With 20+ years of experience I have helped many clients to uncover their true self, overcome significant obstacles, and live a meaningful life consistent with their values and goals. I tailor my therapy by using the most effective approach to fit the individual/circumstances. I can help you develop tools for handling situations, emotions, and relationships effectively. I believe in helping people live a balanced life where they create balance mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. The result? Greater clarity, serenity, joy, purpose, and a better relationship with self and others.

"The best way to predict the future is to create it." That statement is at the heart of therapy. So often we are defined by what has happened to us and we get stuck living in a space filled with regret, heartache and frustration. You don't have to live in that space. Your current search for a therapist is a wonderfully bold and courageous step toward creating your future. The role of a therapist is to help you unlock your innate ability to heal, forgive, grow and prosper in the life you wish to build.

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 seek to be open and inclusive with each client. I am trained in in-depth psychotherapy and enjoy exploring the deeper roots of presenting problems with a goal of practical application of insight. I am a licensed Clinical Pastoral Therapist & clinical supervisor with over 27 years of experience. I particularly like working with couples in crisis. I have experience with clergy and clergy families, therapists, spiritual issues & issues of faith, Addiction Recovery, Anxiety, Depression, Grief & loss, Dilemmas in parenting, Premarital counseling, Relationship issues, Self-image issues, Stress & Trauma among other presenting issues.

Therapy for individuals, couple, and families. There are times when life is painful and seemingly without answers, yet what seems most broken in us can be a channel for growth, even a source of strength we never knew was possible. My own healing through therapy and mindfulness meditation inspired me to pursue an MA in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco -- the first program in the world to blend Eastern philosophical and spiritual traditions with Western schools of psychology. Today, I feel honored to support others on their journey toward healing.

Are you overwhelmed and burnt out? Are you upset at not meeting your goals and expectations? Do you constantly struggle with managing your work-life balance? People might think that you have it all together, but on the inside, you are critical of yourself and disappointed. You also might struggle being confident in your decisions and often find yourself second guessing and overanalyzing. I commonly see high achievers and executives that are afraid of criticism, feel like imposters, and worry about upsetting others.

We all desire - and deserve - to be seen and celebrated for who we are. However, we can often get in our own way, putting heavy burdens and unrealistic expectations on ourselves and believing them to be true and necessary. We convince ourselves that our lives won’t change, that there’s something wrong with us, or that we don’t deserve better. We hide and twist ourselves to please everyone else, we get really good at pretending, or we start doing things that mask our pain, and we lose ourselves, our joy, and our connection to others in the process. I work with teens 16+ and adults of all ages and genders in their journey forward.

Grief and heartbreak are part of life, but right now, you might be feeling like it's all too much to bear. You don't have to figure it all out on your own. I can help. Perhaps you or someone close to you is coping with a terminal illness or you're struggling after a loved one's death. Maybe you are experiencing another heartbreak, perhaps caused by a relationship or a trauma. Or, maybe you are struggling to find ways to love and accept yourself in a world that makes you feel less than.

If you have ever experienced anxiety, depression, or trauma it can be extremely difficult to talk about. Therapy is hard at times and will give people anxiety for just simply showing up. However, you are not alone with these feelings. As humans we experience pain and mental health struggles almost daily. But there is always a way through it. If you find the root of the problem and are willing to overcome it. Let's find your goals together and give you the tools to succeed in whatever life may bring you.

My primary therapeutic focuses are: all aspects of adoption, relational issues, self - worth, family of origin wounds, codependency, recovering from trauma (complex, sexual, religious, etc.), neurodivergence and parenting. Over the past decade as a therapist, I have found myself most passionate about working with adolescents, women, and pre-marital couples. it would be a joy to walk alongside you as we work on these things together utilizing research-based practices, creativity, humor, and a whole - body approach.

Within each of us is an innate desire to be deeply known; to share our story; to be fully seen by another. It is in this achingly vulnerable space where we experience acceptance; belonging; intimate connection. When our lived experiences hold unaddressed narratives of neglect, abuse, abandonment, rigid intolerance or profound loss, the natural longing for connection can become distorted or overridden. What emerges from our understandable aversion to risk and rejection is the imperative to channel all our energy towards managing or keeping hidden the unacceptable parts of ourselves and our story. If this resonates, you are not alone.

We are meant to live in relational wholeness. The therapist-client relationship is based on trust. In a warm and welcoming environment – free of judgement – you will have the opportunity to be fully seen and heard, safe to share your struggles. This is an invitation to simply show up and sit amidst kindness and gentleness, to uncover, identify, and process what lies beneath the heart’s pain.

Fabolous once stated "I am a movement by myself, but I am a force when we're together". I am looking to assist individuals ready to become a force. Willing to become the pioneers of their lives and take full control of their destiny. I am a true believer that when equipped with the right knowledge and resources individuals can overcome any obstacle faced. I will aid as a support providing therapeutic tools and evidence-based practices. Most of the people I have assisted come from vulnerable populations impacted by poverty, incarceration, substance use, and all other forms of abuse.
