I am an LCSW in Tennessee and provide telehealth therapy for adults across the state. I specialize in working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, women's issues, and the unique challenges faced by Veterans. My journey to becoming a provider started in hospital social work. where I worked with fragile patient's navigating serious health concerns and complex emotional challenges. Today, I have privilege of helping Veteran's with distinct life transitions.
Reaching out for support takes courage, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're navigating a major life transition or simply feeling overwhelmed, I'm here to provide a safe space where you can be yourself without fear of judgement.
Hi, I’m Liz, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel collaborative, personalized, and human. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and neurodivergence and I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely heard rather than judged or rushed.
My approach combines medication management with a holistic understanding of mental health, including nervous system regulation, lifestyle, relationships, physical health, and life experiences. Together, we focus on finding practical, sustainable strategies that help you feel more grounded, functional, and like yourself again.
At an early age most people are taught to be independent, strong, and self-sufficient. But, there are times in life when difficult situations can become overwhelming. During these difficult times in life some individuals do not realize that it is okay "Not to be Okay." Asking for help can be hard.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I'm committed to providing a safe and nonjudgmental environment for exploring pathways to psychological and emotional healing. Specializing in Dialectical and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I believe everyone is worthy of love and happiness. I encourage people to see themselves through that same lens.
If you understand why you feel the way you do but still can’t seem to change the patterns keeping you stuck, therapy can go deeper than simply talking about what’s wrong.
Hi, I’m Emily Burgess, LCSW, PMH-C, CMNCS, owner of Conduit Counseling Collective. I work with clients who may look like they’re functioning well on the outside but internally feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in old patterns, or exhausted from holding everything together.
My approach is warm, practical, collaborative, and whole-person focused. We’ll make space to understand your story and where your patterns came from—but we won’t stop there. I believe insight is most helpful when it leads to meaningful change in everyday life.
My work integrates evidence-based therapy with parts work, somatic approaches, nervous system regulation, and the connection between mental and physical wellbeing. When appropriate, we may explore how sleep, movement, nutrition, stress, relationships, and daily rhythms are impacting the way you feel. Mental health doesn’t exist separately from the rest of your body or your life.
I’ve worked in mental health since 2013 and have specialized experience in anxiety, life transitions, women’s mental health, and perinatal mental health.
Therapy with me is supportive, but it’s also active. I’ll bring curiosity, compassion, perspective, accountability—and probably some humor. You don’t need to have the right words or show up with everything figured out.
My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build trust in yourself, and turn insight into change that actually carries into your life.
Are you feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to break—whether it’s addiction, codependency, or depression? You may feel overwhelmed, drained, or constantly putting others first while losing yourself in the process. I work with teens and adults across Tennessee who are navigating addiction, relationship patterns, and depression. Together, we create a supportive space where you can understand what’s driving these patterns and begin building a healthier, more balanced life.
I’m a licensed psychologist with advanced training in trauma-informed and culturally responsive care. I earned my doctorate in Counseling Psychology and have worked across clinical, wellness, and consulting settings supporting individuals navigating burnout, identity stress, trauma, mood disorders and major life transitions.
I specialize in working with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), particularly Black women and professionals who are tired of carrying it all and ready to live with more clarity, boundaries, and ease. My work is deeply relational—I believe healing happens in connection, not isolation—and I bring both professional expertise and lived experience into the room.
Outside of therapy, I love vacationing and traveling (rest is not a reward, it’s a right), hosting gatherings at my home, spending time with loved ones, and creating soulful experiences through writing, speaking, and wellness work. Clients often describe me as grounded, warm, and direct—the kind of therapist who will validate you and help you move forward.
Areas of focus include: Burnout and stress management Life transitions and identity exploration Trauma and stuck patterns Boundary-setting and people-pleasing High-achieving professionals navigating overwhelm Clients from marginalized and intersectional identities
You might look like you have everything together on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or mentally exhausted from carrying so much for so long. When you’re used to being the strong one, it can be hard to slow down or ask for help. You don’t have to do this alone. I provide a supportive space where you can understand your emotions, reduce stress, and begin moving toward feeling more balanced, confident, and in control.
Are you tired of carrying things that are just too heavy for you to carry alone anymore? As a licensed professional counselor, I can help you carry that load. In my 12 years as a counselor, I've worked with families, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in homes, outpatient offices, and online. I have a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, and have taught in graduate counseling programs, but my first love is working directly with individuals who are dealing with the effects of trauma, grief, burnout, or anxiety. I am a Christian and would be happy to incorporate your spiritual beliefs, whether Christian or not, into our work together, if desired.
Great to meet you. Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying emotional pain, relationship challenges, or life circumstances that have left you feeling stuck or disconnected. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, family conflict, trauma, grief and loss, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I understand that every person's story is different, and I believe healing begins by creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming emotions, navigating changes within your family, coping with loss, or trying to better understand yourself, therapy can provide an opportunity to gain insight, build healthier coping skills, and reconnect with what matters most to you. My goal is to help you move toward greater balance, emotional wellness, and a more fulfilling life.
Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 8 years of experience in behavioral and mental health, including 2.5 years providing clinical therapy. I’ve worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and with concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, anger, communication difficulties, social skills, relationship challenges, life transitions, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
I have a particular interest in working with men and creating a space where they can talk openly about emotions, relationships, stress, identity, confidence, and the pressures that can come with trying to handle everything on their own. At the same time, I enjoy working with anyone who connects with my approach and is looking for a therapist who is supportive, honest, and practical.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy, and you won’t be judged for where you are. Whether you’re dealing with a specific problem or simply have a sense that something needs to change, I’ll meet you where you are. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, identify what may be holding you back, and develop practical tools for creating meaningful change in your life and relationships.
Taking the first step toward better health is an act of courage, and I am here to support you every step of the way. As a board-certified physiatrist with 29 years of experience, I am committed to providing compassionate, personalized care that honors your unique story, background, and lived experiences. I take the time to truly understand who you are — your strengths, your challenges, and your goals — so that together we can build a care plan that is both meaningful and effective for your life.

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 Therapist in Brentwood
Searching for therapists in Brentwood starts with knowing what kind of support you want from care. A Brentwood therapist or counselor may list experience with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, stress, life transitions, or trauma. As you compare Brentwood counseling options, look for specialties and therapy approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care. Provider bios can also show how a therapist structures sessions and what you can expect from their approach.
Because Brentwood is a smaller market near Nashville, local appointment options may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual therapy in Brentwood can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Tennessee. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, how soon you want to start, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and scheduling fit.
Therapy in Brentwood, TN can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists in Brentwood, TN, lets you check your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific location and plan, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and offers direct scheduling when you are ready.
