Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Nashville, TN

Symmetry Counseling provides compassionate and evidence-based counseling services for children and families, adolescents and adults. Our goal is to empower individuals and families to function at their highest emotional, social and intellectual levels by rediscovering their core values and returning to their authentic self.

Have you experienced emotional or physical abuse? Do you have a hard time calming down when you're upset? Do you have overwhelming thoughts and emotions? Have you been having a difficult time managing life since something big has happened? Experiencing trauma can make it difficult to control your emotions and have relationships with others. This makes it hard for you to trust other people and feel comfortable being vulnerable. I commonly see people who have experienced sexual abuse, traumatic childhood experiences, trauma from their religious community, and those who struggle coping with intense emotions and unresolved anger.

What if you loved yourself unconditionally? What if you felt like a badass every time you walked into the room? What if you plugged-in to your higher self? Why not make the most of this short and precious life?… You can. It would be my honor to help you in your journey. I have over 15 years of experience in helping clients reach their goals, navigate transitions, overcome fears/phobias, recover from unhealthy relationships, and enjoy their lives again. I’ve done it all, from domestic violence crisis work, childhood healing work, supporting big life changes, and helping women build better relationships, friendships, and futures.

Whether you are anxious, experiencing a major life transition, or struggling in a relationship, therapy can provide a wonderful opportunity to find relief and make meaningful changes. Together, we will work on uncovering the barriers holding you back, help you develop new ways of relating to yourself and others, and find greater peace in your day-to-day life. The goal is to turn down the noise that distracts you and makes you feel stuck so you can focus on what’s meaningful and fulfilling in your life.

I am dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, non-judgmental space for personal growth and healing, where your full authentic self is welcomed. I believe that one of the most important parts of healing in therapy is developing a compassionate therapeutic relationship, built upon respect, trust, curiosity, and thoughtfulness. I work primarily with teens and adults who may be struggling with life transitions, anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and more.

I work to provide a space where clients can feel held and accepted through life's happiest, messiest, and most unpredictable chapters. My goal is for you to leave therapy with hope, healing, and the tools to navigate life as your most authentic self.

I enjoy working with teens, adults, couples, and families from various backgrounds using attachment focused, experiential, somatic, mindfulness based, and other therapies to promote personal growth, healing, and rediscovery. My professional areas of interest include: trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression and mood disorders, substance abuse, process addictions, ADHD, codependency, relationship and intimacy issues, attachment and family of origin issues, and personality disorders. In my work with clients, I utilize a range of interventions and therapeutic techniques based on the clients' own needs and presenting problems.

We're all works in progress. I believe in your ability to progress toward a freer self. The clients who begin work with me aren't free--they are constrained in a number of ways: depression, anxiety, disordered eating, low self-esteem, fear of intimacy, or impulsive behaviors. I see my work with you as helping you find the way back to your true self, where feelings, thoughts, desires, and hopes are revealed and honored, instead of tyrannized and discounted, sometimes by your own self.

I work with adult and older teen clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, addictions (to substances and/or compulsive behaviors) and who are recovering from traumatic experiences. I believe that your natural self underlies any issues you may bring to therapy, and that our job as we work together is to help you rediscover and live from that natural, free, and open-hearted self.

I believe we can all use a little help sometimes. We all experience situations where we need some help figuring out how to move forward in life. It can feel like we've hit a wall and the ways we once faced our problems are no longer working for us. Or we've come up against something we never expected and we're not quite sure how to handle it. I think from the time we are little and through our different experiences we learn how to handle our problems and there can come a time when the way we've learned to handle things does not serve us well. Ultimately I believe this can lead to incredible growth and an opportunity to re-evaluate.

I invite all parts of your story into the room. I most often hear that what is wanted from therapy is hope and relief. Relief from anxiety, hope for your relationship. I believe you can achieve self-esteem, hope, and healing. I've seen it happen many times. Trusting this process is the first step. You don't have to do this alone. I can stand with you and guide you towards a safe and secure self within life's ups and downs. You can learn how to regain a sense of self, heal from the past, come home to your body, and create a life you find worth in living.

I offer online therapy to adults coping with anxiety, difficult life changes, parenting stressors, career burnout, and family and relationship problems.

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?

One of my favorite song lyrics right now is from the Lumineers, "it is better to feel pain than nothing at all." My work with clients looks like providing them someone to walk through the pain with so that they can create room for the joy that will follow. I work with clients through the attachment and emotional lens to help them create love and relationship that feels safe again.

Life feels burdensome. You struggle to keep up with its changes and demands, and often feel overwhelmed. Your relationships feel distant and distressing, and you’re not sure how to make this work anymore. You've experienced loss, and the pain is challenging to manage. It’s an endless cycle leaving you feeling stuck and alone. You want the chaos to quiet, the joy to return, and the darkness to lift. I believe there’s a way through pain and heartache. Let’s uncover hope and healing together.

Hi, I’m Carrie. Whatever is happening in your life right now, we can face it with care and find authentic, effective ways to handle it, together. For over 20 years, I’ve worked with individuals, groups, organizations, and communities in making positive change. I have also experienced my own healing journey from childhood abuse and family dysfunction, so I’m intimately familiar with the terrain. My life’s passion is for healing trauma; transforming pain into wholeness; helping my clients develop their unique gifts and path; and nurturing relationships back to health; and that’s what I’ve trained to do.

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

No one is exempt from hardship, struggle, stress or difficulty. In this life we all experience situations and circumstances that are at times beyond our control. I wholeheartedly believe that we are all born with the ability to heal ourselves but that at times we could use a helping hand. Everyone needs a safe supportive space that will allow them to reconnect with themselves. Everyone needs a place that nurtures a sense of emotional well-being and that will allow them to more openly explore pain, release blocks and heal wounds. Nashville Emotional Wellness (NEW) Counseling is this place.
