Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Brentwood, TN covered by Aetna

Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Tennessee. I am also licensed in the states of UT and NE. I have been in practice for 15 years. I love working with clients who are genuinely seeking therapy for their own growth and awareness. I enjoy helping clients who want to take a deeper look at behaviors and relationships in their lives that could be modified and or improved. I started my career in community mental health working with individuals who were suffering from addiction, childhood trauma, family conflict, and faith crisis. I feel like I have learned the true impact addiction, poverty, trauma, and abuse can have on an individual and family system. This has helped me create space for clients to feel safe, heard, valued, and respected in our sessions. I look forward to meeting you!

Welcome! I’m Cheryl D. Hoskins, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, supported, and treated with compassion. Seeking help isn’t always easy, and I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you can speak openly without fear of judgment. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, insomnia, mood disorders, and substance use disorders. Whether you’re facing a new challenge or have been struggling for years, my goal is to help you better understand your symptoms, develop effective coping strategies, and find a treatment plan that works for your unique needs and lifestyle. I view every client as a whole person—not just a diagnosis. Building a trusting relationship is the foundation of meaningful care, and I am committed to partnering with you every step of your journey toward improved mental health and overall well-being.

My approach to care is holistic and patient-centered, recognizing that mental health is influenced by emotional, physical, social, and cultural factors. I practice using a participatory and affirming style, partnering with my patients to develop treatment plans that align with their goals, values, and strengths. I believe in empowering individuals through education, collaboration, and encouragement.

While I strive to create a warm and supportive environment, I am also direct when needed, providing clear guidance and evidence-based treatment recommendations to support safety, stability, and long-term wellness.

My greatest strengths include empathy, active listening, cultural understanding, and a deep commitment to helping individuals improve their quality of life. I am passionate about supporting people on their journey toward healing, resilience, and mental well-being.
