If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, or struggles with alcohol or substance use, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I help adults work through difficult seasons, understand what’s keeping them stuck, and find healthier ways forward. Whether you’re adjusting to a loss, feeling overwhelmed, or ready to make a change, therapy can help you feel more grounded, hopeful, and in control of your life.

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.

Lauren Graham

Lauren Graham

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi, I’m Lauren, an LCSW who provides individual sex therapy for adult women through telehealth. I help women who are struggling with low or absent sexual desire, desire differences within relationships, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, painful sex, sexual shame, and difficulty communicating about sex.

You may love your partner and still wonder, “Why don’t I want sex anymore?” You may feel pressured, disconnected from your body, embarrassed talking about sex, or unsure what you even want sexually. These concerns are more common than many women realize, and therapy offers a private, judgment-free place to understand what may be contributing to them.

My goal is not to tell you how often you should have sex or what your sex life should look like. Instead, we’ll work toward helping you better understand your sexuality, identify your needs, strengthen your sense of choice and agency, and create a sexual life that feels authentic and satisfying to you.
