Therapists in Nashville, TN

We all have different parts of ourselves that show up in different ways at different times. It's often the case that what leads us to seek therapy is the feeling that some of our parts are showing up either as "too big" or overwhelming or as some sort of overreaction that we can't quite understand. My goal as a therapist is to help set the conditions we all need in order to better understand the different ways we show up in the world, and why. Anxiety, PTSD, depression and other trauma-related symptoms can improve in incredible ways when we take the time to understand why.

Sometimes, your teen has experienced a traumatic event or is just having difficulty navigating life’s changes, such as divorce; the death of a family member; adoption; or adjusting to school, friends, and their self-identity. Communicating how they feel, especially to their parents, is not a teen’s strong point. As a result, both the teen and parents become frustrated. Adolescence is a significant life transition. Without some guidance (or interpreter), the process becomes a rocky road for all involved.

Each of us navigates our unique set of experiences. Some carry deep-rooted trauma, while others grapple with the everyday complexities of 'normal' life. At times, we might downplay our struggles, thinking that someone out there has it worse than we do. It's a common sentiment, and if you've ever felt this way, you're not alone.

Finding a therapist can be challenging, and I consider it an honor to sit with people as they share themselves and their lives. My specialty is working with people experiencing infertility and other perinatal and postnatal issues. The process of becoming pregnant, having a baby, and adjusting to parenthood is not always an easy one and often filled with difficulty and heartbreak. People can experience a roller coaster of emotions including sadness, anger, shame, anxiety, etc. My hope is to help people gain understanding and peace no matter where they are in their reproductive story.

With over 45 years in clinical practice, treating a wide variety of issues, I appreciate that each person has a unique personal story. I believe that remaining current with relevant scientific findings enhances my clinical work. I also believe that training young therapists at four universities has sharpened my thinking about how to understand each individual, as well as improving my skills in conducting therapy. Over a decade of doing psychotherapy research has deepened my understanding about how psychotherapy works. I tailor my therapeutic approach to your personal situation. We will work together to resolve your problems.

Being a kid is supposed to be a magical time filled with fun, learning, exploring, and giggles. As a parent, is there anything worse than realizing something has gotten in the way of your child's magic? When you can't figure out how you and your child got here, parenting becomes unbearably hard. Worse than that is feeling like you don't know how to help your child. You and your child need support, guidance, and someone who believes the magic isn't lost forever. When life gets challenging, I work with kids, teens, families, and parents. I believe that the magic isn't lost, and healing is possible for your child and family.

Hi there. I’m Kate Martin, a licensed professional counselor, an artist, and a mom. In my more than fifteen years of experience in this field, I have been blown away by the beautiful variety of ways that human beings can heal. A vital part of my practice is seeing my clients as the infinitely complex and unique individuals that they are. My goal is to help you meet your true self, and to develop a deep sense of self-worth that will carry you through the rest of your life.

I've been in private practice for over 15 years and enjoy diversity in my office. My approach is really dependent on my clients unique needs. I would describe myself as caring and direct and have been told by my clients that my challenges to them are as beneficial as my empathy towards them. My hope is to sit with people in a focused, loving and generative way, helping my clients move towards a deeper sense of vitality, self-awareness and authenticity.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, but taking that first step is crucial. I understand how challenging it is to share your struggles with someone new, which is why I prioritize creating a culturally sensitive, authentic, and non-judgmental environment specifically for women and BIPOC clients. Many of my clients face issues such as anxiety, depression, stress management, racial stress and trauma, self-esteem challenges, self-criticism, and imposter syndrome. These struggles can be particularly intense for individuals in demanding professional roles and lead to intense feelings and unwanted behaviors.

You're tired of trying to make it seem like you have everything under control. You find yourself constantly comparing your life to others, leaving you feeling anxious, empty and inadequate. No matter what you try, you feel like you can't turn down the outside noise or get out of the same cycles. You may even be working through a transition that has made it difficult to find a rhythm and feel at ease with yourself and the people around you. I can help you learn practical strategies for getting through these difficult emotions. If you are wanting to begin taking the steps toward feeling better, I am a good fit for you.
