Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Cookeville, TN

I’m the kind of therapist who shows up as a real person first. I’m warm, honest, and deeply committed to helping you feel safe enough to be yourself. I have experience working with people navigating stress, relationship challenges, emotional ups and downs, and life transitions. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and genuinely supported.

For over 20 years I have had the pleasure of working with people from all walks of life in their journey of healing emotional pain. I value and respect the complexities that come with being human, recognizing that each person brings their own unique experiences and challenges. My approach centers on building trusting and compassionate relationships, which I believe are essential for healing. Through these supportive connections, many individuals have found recovery and growth, whether they are healing from childhood sexual abuse, rebuilding their lives after a divorce, or recovering from the pain of an affair

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.

3-5 fluffy sentences here aren't going to give you enough to make a good choice in something as important as selecting your therapist. I recommend you reach out to me and let's chat for 10 minutes before you decide. I am located in Clarksville and work with clients in their own homes or via telehealth in the state of TN.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that holds multiple degrees including a Master of Social Work from the University of Memphis.

I use varying treatment modalities to help you get the best results for you. Not every modality is for every person.

Life asks all of us to carry difficult things. I believe healing isn't measured by the absence of hardship but by our growing ability to carry it. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a PhD in Mental Health Counseling, I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate chronic illness, evolving medical needs, the relational impact of major medical challenges, and all of the other parts of life because no one lives just to be a patient. I come to this specialty with both years of experience as a therapist supporting specific illnesses like cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and cancer as well as lifelong experience as a sibling to a brother with chronic illness. My role is to help you better understand what you're carrying, strengthen what helps sustain you, and build a life that feels meaningful even when life doesn't become easier. If you are navigating illness, its impact on your relationships, or simply a life that feels

heavier than it should, I would be glad to hear your story and to help you carry it.

My name is LaDarrius, and I am an LPC-MHSP licensed in the state of TN. I have worked with a variety of people struggling with mental health. I am dedicated when it comes to supporting you and moving forward. I have come to realize that we all need some support as we face struggles and challenging situations. In order further support the best way I can, I have furthered my education by attaining my masters in clinical mental health counseling. I am also currently working on my doctorate. I am equipped to treat multiple areas of mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and more. I am committed to serving individuals, couples, and families when it comes to life struggles. Let's begin this journey together.

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 was born and raised in Montana and have a genuine passion for nature and the outdoors. I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Montana State University in 2001. I then pursued my Masters of Social Work degree and graduated in 2008 from the University of Montana. This graduate program had a focus on providing a social justice and integrated practitioner perspective. I have an eclectic style that can be tailored to each unique individual. My primary therapeutic methods include Mindfulness Based, Holistic, Exposure, Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioral, Strengths Based & Solution Focused Therapies. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment that often helps people feel comfortable. A true passion of mine is structuring therapeutic activities for clients to express, process, increase self-awareness, and de-stress from life’s challenging and developmental experiences.

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.
