Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Franklin, TN

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.

Maybe you’re the person who holds everything together, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or exhausted from trying so hard to get things right. Or maybe parenting is bringing up emotions and patterns you never expected. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, perfectionism, relationships, and parenting. I’m an EMDR-trained therapist, and I’ll help you understand what’s happening underneath—not just manage what shows up on the surface.

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 come to therapy because something in their relationships isn’t working—conflict that keeps repeating, difficulty feeling close, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or others. Beneath these patterns, there is often something deeper: old wounds, protective strategies, and unmet longings that continue to shape how we show up in the present.

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.
