Many people come to therapy because something in their relationships isn’t working—conflict that keeps repeating, difficulty feeling close, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or others. Beneath these patterns, there is often something deeper: old wounds, protective strategies, and unmet longings that continue to shape how we show up in the present.

David Flowers

David Flowers

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.7 mi away • Franklin, TN


I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with children, teens, young adults, adults, and families. I earned my graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Trevecca Nazarene University and have been working with clients since 2021.

I especially enjoy working with children and adolescents, including those navigating ADHD, autism, grief, family changes, and the challenges that come with growing up. I also work with young adults and adults experiencing grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, and significant life transitions.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 20 years in the business world. That experience has given me a unique perspective on work, relationships, parenting, responsibility, and what it means to make difficult changes in your life.

I believe every person deserves to feel known, valued, and hopeful about what comes next. That belief is at the heart of my work as a therapist.
