Grace has been providing mental health care in Nashville since 2017.

She has since transitioned to outpatient practice, where she provides medication management and compassionate, individualized care to adults across Tennessee through telehealth. Grace takes a warm, collaborative approach to care and believes in taking the time to understand what is really contributing to a person’s symptoms rather than simply treating the diagnosis. She works with clients to find thoughtful, practical treatment options that fit their needs, preferences, and goals.

Claire Jergensen

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


If you're a parent watching your child struggle, a teen who feels like no one gets it, or an adult carrying more than you know how to name, you're in the right place. I work with clients across every stage of life, from toddlers to seniors, and I understand that anxiety, depression, and trauma don't look the same at every age. Over the years I've sat with people through some of their hardest moments, and I've learned that healing starts with having one person who won't flinch at what you bring into the room.

Elizabeth Lara

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi, I’m Liz! I help clients heal from past trauma and uncover the root of what’s keeping them feeling stuck. Trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world—often showing up as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries.

My work focuses on addressing these deeper patterns to support lasting healing and meaningful personal growth. For those who desire it, I also offer the option to integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.

I believe therapy should not only be effective but also feel human and approachable. We’ll roll up our sleeves and do the work together, while also making space for moments of lightness along the way.
