Therapists for college students near Nashville, TN

Hello! My name is Anna and I work primarily with women and relationship issues. I specialize in Narcissistic Victim Syndrome and also work with self-esteem issues, stress and coping. My residency was in addiction so I am comfortable with this issue as well. My practice is really laid-back. I also give clients my personal cell phone number so we can text each other between sessions.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, worry, and insecurity, frustrated with themselves for repeating patterns that get in the way of having meaningful relationships. When you’re feeling stuck and hopeless, it’s especially hard to feel compassion for yourself. One of the beautiful things about therapy is that it is a space where someone else can hold compassion and hope for you until you are able to hold it for yourself. In the context of a nurturing, supportive relationship it is not only possible to resolve pain, but to reclaim a life of creativity, meaning, connection, and authenticity. Therapy is about gaining insight, but it’s also about developing skills that allow you to be more resilient and grounded. I have a passion for supporting people in working through complex trauma, anxiety, and family of origin issues. I love what I do, and that comes through in the care I provide.

Right now you may be overwhelmed by spiraling thoughts and debilitating fear -- struggling to process your emotions. People see you as smart and successful, but inside you feel like you're barely hanging on. You’d like to understand yourself more and learn skills that help you feel stronger and healthier. This is the work that I do. I specialize in helping smart, caring women who struggle with anxiety learn to find more balance. Clients who’ve worked with me have reported that they understand themselves better, struggle less, and feel more at ease overall. They've learned to treat themselves with more kindness than criticism, and to shift from self-destructive to life-giving behaviors. They’ve learned to handle their emotions more effectively (especially fear, anger, and sadness), to listen to their own voice (how they feel, what they like, what they want), and to feel more like themselves. People who've worked with me in counseling have described me as gentle, down-to-earth, funny, and flexible. I am thoughtful and love to read, and to bring to my work a lot of skills and stories from varied sources. I’m also artsy and creative, and love to adapt metaphors and strategies that apply uniquely and directly to clients’ lives. As a therapist, I’m not so much interested in “fixing problems” as in coming alongside you to listen and to share honestly what stands out and what might help. I welcome people with diverse backgrounds and identities. I believe in growth and development across the lifespan and that we are *always* in the process of becoming. With nearly two decades of experience and extensive training as a therapist, I am passionate about highlighting women’s voices and stories and feelings. What I love about my work as a therapist is finding ways to help women be exactly who they already are, which I believe, paradoxically, is the path toward healing and change.

I am currently accepting new clients for in person and virtual sessions. I believe that each of us has the tools to overcome our personal barriers, we just need support and guidance in accessing those tools and making the necessary changes for success! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 10 years of experience supporting adolescents and young adults in a clinical setting. I hope to utilize my experience and expertise to guide clients along the path to well balanced and healthy lives!

Many of my clients report feeling "stuck". Stuck in relationships, jobs, school, families, past trauma, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, etc. I feel honored to partner with my clients to make individualized plans to help you reach the goals that you have for your life.
