Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Cookeville, TN

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.

Welcome! I’m Cheryl D. Hoskins, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, supported, and treated with compassion. Seeking help isn’t always easy, and I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you can speak openly without fear of judgment. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, insomnia, mood disorders, and substance use disorders. Whether you’re facing a new challenge or have been struggling for years, my goal is to help you better understand your symptoms, develop effective coping strategies, and find a treatment plan that works for your unique needs and lifestyle. I view every client as a whole person—not just a diagnosis. Building a trusting relationship is the foundation of meaningful care, and I am committed to partnering with you every step of your journey toward improved mental health and overall well-being.

Starting therapy is a big step, and if you've made it this far, you're doing an amazing job. You've recognized that you need assistance navigating life, and I'm here to help you understand yourself better. I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, perinatal mental health, self-esteem, and other conditions.

I've always been told I'm easy to talk to, and I have a deep desire to help people become the best versions of themselves. I love seeing my clients gain confidence and become empowered to not only survive, but to thrive and become truly comfortable in their skin. Together, we can get you to your happy place.

Do you feel taken advantage of and like no matter what you do, you can't win? Are you a victim of emotional, verbal or physical abuse? Do you love someone who is caught up in the pain of addiction or mental illness? Have you tried everything you can think of but have no idea how to help or what else to do? Are you afraid your partner, spouse, adult child or other loved one will end up in jail, or worse? I get it. Maybe you're just mad. Maybe you're tired of having to handle everything yourself. I get that too.
