Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Are you tired of carrying things that are just too heavy for you to carry alone anymore? As a licensed professional counselor, I can help you carry that load. In my 12 years as a counselor, I've worked with families, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in homes, outpatient offices, and online. I have a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, and have taught in graduate counseling programs, but my first love is working directly with individuals who are dealing with the effects of trauma, grief, burnout, or anxiety. I am a Christian and would be happy to incorporate your spiritual beliefs, whether Christian or not, into our work together, if desired.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Cookeville

Searching for therapists in Cookeville starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, and life transitions. As you compare a Cookeville therapist, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and the kinds of concerns they work with most often. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

In a smaller city like Cookeville, local in-person openings may be more limited than in larger Tennessee markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Tennessee. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their communication style seems like a fit. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand what sessions may be like and whether a free phone consultation is available.

Therapy in Cookeville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs and offer in-person or virtual care, and you can enter your insurance details to check coverage for specific providers. You can enter your insurance details to see an estimated cost before booking, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
