Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Brentwood, TN

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 20 years of nursing and nursing education experience. I offer both therapy and medication management so you can get the support you need in one place if that feels right for you.

My name is Brooke, and I'm glad you're here.

I love working with a variety of disorders including anxiety, depression, OCD, and many more. One of my passions includes working with those living with or being impacted by cancer or terminal illness.

Feeling overwhelmed by pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, or the many transitions of life? Struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, or coping with chronic illness? Experiencing infidelity, feeling disconnected, stuck, or lacking trust and intimacy with your partner? Or hey, maybe you’re just really freaking tired from carrying it all.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

I’m Destinee, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) therapist providing compassionate, trauma-informed virtual therapy to clients across Tennessee. I specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, and culturally sensitive care tailored to your unique identity and experience.

As a PMH-C therapist, I also offer support to adults, teens, and couples navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic illness, identity, trauma, stress, grief, infidelity and relationship challenges. With years of experience in psychiatric hospitals, medical settings like the PICU and NICU, private practice, schools, and grief support groups, I bring a well-rounded, expert approach to your mental health care.

My couples counseling is self-pay only, at a rate of $170.

I'm so glad you're here! Therapy is a vulnerable experience, and regardless of your circumstances, you are meant to feel safe in therapy. I look forward to walking with you on your healing journey!

Though I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients, I have notable experience working with adolescents and adults who have anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and trauma.

I’m a doctoral-prepared Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than a decade of experience in behavioral health, including private practice and extensive work within the Department of Veterans Affairs. Over the years, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing everything from anxiety and relationship difficulties to trauma, PTSD, substance use concerns, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, and more complex mental health concerns.

I tend to work well with people whose experiences don’t fit neatly into one box. Sometimes you understand exactly why you feel or behave a certain way but still can’t figure out how to change it. Other times, you may not know what is happening—you just know that something isn’t working anymore. Therapy can be a place to slow that process down, understand the patterns underneath it, and figure out what actually helps.

My clinical background includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed interventions, substance use treatment, trauma-informed care, and Gottman Method approaches for couples. Rather than forcing everyone into the same treatment model, I draw from different approaches based on the person in front of me, what we are trying to accomplish, and what makes sense for their life.

I earned my Master of Social Work and Doctor of Social Work from the University of Southern California and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Florida and Tennessee.

I became an LCSW after starting my career as a community-based social worker, supporting individuals and families navigating complex, real-life challenges. That work taught me the value of showing up with presence, respect, and a deep understanding of the systems that impact people’s lives.

My path to becoming a therapist was also shaped by my own experiences with healing and growth. I know what it’s like to do the inner work—to sit with discomfort, learn new tools, and slowly build something stronger from within. That personal insight informs how I show up in the therapy room: with empathy, curiosity, and compassion.

Motherhood has further deepened my approach. It’s taught me about vulnerability, patience, and the ongoing process of becoming—qualities I carry into my work with clients. I believe healing doesn’t happen in isolation; it happens in safe, supportive relationships, and I’m honored to offer that space to others.

I work best with driven people experiencing a big change. Perhaps, despite your best efforts, things aren’t working out as you’d hoped. Or perhaps you’ve gotten all you wanted and it doesn’t satisfy. I work often with D1 athletes & pros (as well as their family members). I love supporting the romantic partners of people in the public eye. Though I often work with athletes I am not a Sports Psych. In fact, I don’t even follow sports! I’m here for the rest of your life and identity.

Kayla, a licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community mental health, recognized the profound disparities in access to mental health care within BIPOC communities. Inspired by a vision of creating a space where healing is both inclusive and affordable, she founded Helen’s Project with the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of their background or financial situation.​​Helen’s Project operates on the principle that culturally competent and empathetic mental health care is essential for holistic well-being. The organization collaborates with a diverse team of mental health professionals who not only possess clinical expertise but also understand the unique cultural nuances and challenges faced by the BIPOC community.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping clients. I am trained in EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Brainspotting, Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga.
