Deborah Roach

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Loving someone who struggles with addiction can quietly take over your whole life. You worry constantly, you smooth things over, you set a boundary and then talk yourself right out of it, and somewhere along the way you lose track of your own needs. If that's you, I understand it in a way that goes beyond training. Alongside my years as a counselor, I've spent more than two decades in the Al-Anon community, and I work with adults who are worn down from caring for, worrying about, or trying to fix someone they love. You don't have to keep carrying it alone.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Madison, TN


I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) and Board Certified Hypnotherapist based in Madison, TN, with 16 years in practice. I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and am a certified hypnotherapist through the National Guild of Hypnotists. I'm also an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, so I train and supervise other clinicians in addition to seeing clients myself.

I work with adults and families around addiction, trauma and PTSD, and impulse control disorders, along with anxiety, low self-esteem, mood disorders, OCD, relationship issues, and compulsive or disruptive patterns. Hypnotherapy and Internal Family Sytems are my favorite modalities.

I offer both in-person sessions (at Watershed Wellness Cooperative in Madison) and telehealth, with daytime, evening, and weekend availability.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Tennessee

Searching for therapists in Tennessee starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Across the state, options vary between urban areas, smaller towns, and rural communities, so it helps to narrow your search by need first. You may want a therapist with experience in anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapy approach, and bio to see whether their background aligns with the kind of care you’re looking for.

Location and scheduling also shape the right fit. In Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and other parts of Tennessee, some people prefer in-person sessions near home or work, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and whether their communication style feels clear from their profile. Every therapist listed is accepting new patients, and reading bios before booking can help you understand what sessions may be like.

The cost of mental health care in Tennessee varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search therapists by insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and compare therapists who match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your specific coverage when you enter your insurance details. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
