Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Tennessee


I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with six years of experience helping adults navigate ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety, substance use concerns, and personality disorders. I trained at Vanderbilt University School of Nursing and have a background in neuroscience research, which shapes my practical, brain-based approach to care.

I believe people do best when they’re treated as whole humans—not just a diagnosis. I enjoy breaking down complex mental health concepts into clear, bite-sized explanations so patients understand why they feel the way they do and how treatment helps. My style is collaborative, direct, and supportive.

I’m comfortable working with complex or long-standing symptoms and don’t shy away from difficult cases. I also enjoy working with creatives in the Nashville community and understand the unique pressures that can come with creative work. My goal is to help patients feel empowered, informed, and supported as they move toward meaningful, sustainable change.

Therapist

Hi, I’m Lauren, an LCSW who provides individual sex therapy for adult women through telehealth. I help women who are struggling with low or absent sexual desire, desire differences within relationships, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, painful sex, sexual shame, and difficulty communicating about sex.

You may love your partner and still wonder, “Why don’t I want sex anymore?” You may feel pressured, disconnected from your body, embarrassed talking about sex, or unsure what you even want sexually. These concerns are more common than many women realize, and therapy offers a private, judgment-free place to understand what may be contributing to them.

My goal is not to tell you how often you should have sex or what your sex life should look like. Instead, we’ll work toward helping you better understand your sexuality, identify your needs, strengthen your sense of choice and agency, and create a sexual life that feels authentic and satisfying to you.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Murfreesboro, TN


If you feel like you don't quite recognize yourself anymore, mood swings that come out of nowhere, anxiety that wasn't there before, old wounds resurfacing you thought you'd already dealt with, you're not imagining it, and you're not alone in it. I work with women navigating the hormonal and identity shifts of midlife, including perimenopause and menopause, helping you understand what's happening beneath the surface so we can do more than just manage symptoms, and actually get to what's underneath them. I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with a master's in clinical mental health counseling and training in EMDR, DBT, CBT, EFT, and Motivational Interviewing. I bring experience from private practice, clinical roles in group practice, and residential treatment work for substance abuse."

Christina Culpepper

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


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.
