Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Franklin, TN covered by Cigna

Hi there! I’m Kellie, and if you’re reading this sentence then I believe you have just begun one of the most important journeys of your life. I am a Christian therapist specializing in teens and young adults (20-30) struggling with anxiety, depression, and all the who-am-I questions that accompany growing up and becoming who they want to be. I have walked alongside teens and young adults for 13 years in both their heartaches and healing. I have an ever-growing passion to help them see beyond the pain of their circumstances and pursue the coping skills that help to make life more manageable.

Many people walk through life saying, “I’m fine. Everything is fine.” But often, fine is just a placeholder — a way to avoid feelings that feel too big, too inconvenient, or too overwhelming. FINE stands for Feelings In Need of Expression.

My work centers on helping clients safely express the emotions they’ve been holding in. One of my strengths is actively listening and creating a grounded, compassionate space where those unspoken feelings can finally come forward. We’re taught to suppress our emotions and push through, but those feelings don’t disappear. They settle into the body, they leak out in our interactions, and eventually they build — like pressure inside a volcano — until they erupt.

In therapy, you don’t have to hold it all together. You don’t have to pretend you’re fine. You get room to breathe, to feel, and to release what’s been stuck for far too long. My goal is to help you understand your emotional landscape, express what needs to be expressed, and move toward a life that feels more honest, grounded, and connected.

Kate’s personal experiences have profoundly shaped her career path. Her struggles with loss allow her to relate deeply to her clients and to understand the unique pain that comes with reproductive trauma. This shared understanding helps her build a compassionate, empathetic connection with her clients, creating a safe space for them to process their emotions and begin healing. She knows firsthand the importance of having someone who listens, understands, and helps you rebuild after heartache.

People find healing when they feel heard. That is my goal in sitting with clients - to move towards healing by hearing your stories, strifes, and successes. My hope is to join my clients in achieving meaningful and deep healing, identifying resources for continued growth, and developing secure attachments in relationships. I am passionate about working with individuals and families who are processing life transitions, identity, relationship issues, trauma, grief and loss, and mood disorders.

Are you apart of a generation where you want to embrace, embody, and empower your mental stability? Do you believe you have been impacted by unhealthy habits of coping? Maybe the daily stress, past trauma, or woes of motherhood can use some support? If you find yourself answering yes, then this maybe your first step towards healing. My name is Dyamond Williams, therapist and owner of Healing Gems Counseling where we embrace, embody, and empower mental stability. I have a passion for working with the BIPOC community as well as women, professionals, and the everyday individual. My goal is to help you embrace healing without judgement.

I am an individual counseling with over 12 years of experience at the Post-Graduate level. I specialize in working with adults and have experience with many clinical settings, including In-patient care, community mental health and private practice. I also provide Clinical Supervision for counselors that are on track to become licensed in the state of Tennessee.

My dedication to helping people with life-controlling issues stems from my journey in recovery. I am active in the local 12-step community and regularly sponsor others who are seeking sobriety, as I have been able to break the cycle of generational addiction in my family.
