Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Clarksville, TN

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.

You can START therapy THIS week! You don't have to get on anybody's waiting list. My first priority is to relate to each person or couple as unique. Everyone has strengths that can be drawn on to help make therapy a positive, enriching, and productive experience. Let's work together so you can live your best life. No matter where you've been, what you've been through there's ALWAYS hope!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly 20 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, relationship concerns, and major transitions. Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, communication difficulties, relationship concerns, divorce and separation, life transitions, family-of-origin patterns, and the impact of addiction or problematic alcohol use on relationships and families. I also enjoy working with individuals who want to reconnect, improve communication, rebuild trust, or better understand the patterns that keep them feeling stuck.

My approach is compassionate, practical, solution-focused, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method principles, cognitive-behavioral strategies, solution-focused therapy, and family systems perspectives. Together, we’ll explore what is happening, identify your strengths and goals, and develop meaningful, achievable steps toward change.

Therapy can be a place to speak openly without judgment while gaining tools to feel more confident, connected, and hopeful. Whether you’re navigating a difficult transition, feeling stuck in old patterns, or hoping to build healthier relationships, I’m here to support you as you move forward.

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.

As a fully licensed therapist, I work collaboratively with you to better understand your experiences, identify patterns that may be impacting your well-being, and develop practical tools to help you move forward. My approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and focused on meeting you where you are.

I recognize that every person’s story is different, and I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Together, we can explore what is most important to you, build on your strengths, and create meaningful goals that fit your life.

I’m a therapist based in Memphis who works with high-achieving women navigating anxiety, burnout, identity transitions, and complex relationship dynamics. Many of my clients are successful on the outside and exhausted on the inside. They are often the responsible one, the strong one, the reliable one — and quietly overwhelmed.

My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), an evidence-based model that helps clients understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves — the driven part, the critical part, the anxious part, the part that feels unseen. I am Level 1 trained in IFS and integrate attachment-informed and trauma-responsive care into my practice.

I am an LCSW with a Master's of Social Work degree and have been in field over 12 years.

I’m Monique Watson, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 20 years of experience, and I started this practice to ensure every patient has a space where they feel truly heard. I hold a post-master’s degree and specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and postpartum depression through a supportive, collaborative approach.

I am a licensed therapist specializing in anxiety, trauma, addiction and relationship challenges. I work with children, adolescents and adults to create a supportive space where healing and growth feel possible.

Specific modalities are Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Nurturing Parenting, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Psychotherapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Family Therapy, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness and Muscle relaxation.

If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, or struggles with alcohol or substance use, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I help adults work through difficult seasons, understand what’s keeping them stuck, and find healthier ways forward. Whether you’re adjusting to a loss, feeling overwhelmed, or ready to make a change, therapy can help you feel more grounded, hopeful, and in control of your life.

I believe the best mental health care begins with trust, compassion, and open communication. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences without fear of judgment.

I understand that reaching out for help isn't always easy, and I strive to meet each person where they are. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, life transitions, trauma, ADHD, or simply feeling overwhelmed, we'll work together to develop a treatment plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle.

I take a collaborative approach to care, combining evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy, education, and practical coping strategies. I want my clients to understand not only what we're treating but why certain treatments may be beneficial, so they feel informed and involved in every decision.

With years of experience in psychiatric care across inpatient and outpatient settings, I've worked with individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges. I believe healing isn't about being perfect—it's about making meaningful progress, building resilience, and finding balance in everyday life.

My hope is that every client leaves our appointments feeling heard, respected, and supported.

My practice is a good fit for clients who are looking for:

• Compassionate, nonjudgmental care
• Medication management with education and shared decision-making
• Practical tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning
• A provider who listens and works collaboratively
• Long-term support focused on sustainable mental wellness

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward better mental health.

My goal as your therapist is to be able to help you move through the difficulties that you are facing. I strive to be someone who is non-judgemental and caring throughout every interaction. I enjoy working with clients who have various backgrounds and experiences, including mental health and substance abuse. I have worked in a psychiatric hosptial as well as a recovery center, where recovery and progress were the main goals. I have gained a lot of real-life experiences and learned a lot of lessons from the clients that I have had the pleasure to interact with. I believe that all clients have knowledge to be shared with me.

There’s much more to your story.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. Drawing on decades of experience, I provide a compassionate, practical, and holistic approach to therapy. I began my work as a spiritual and addictions counselor in 1981 and became a state-licensed mental health therapist in 2007. Since then, I have partnered with individuals, couples, families, and groups to help them build on their strengths, clarify their values, and create lasting change.

Before moving into private practice, I spent 20 years serving the Cleveland, Tennessee community as an outpatient therapist with Volunteer Behavioral Health.
