Feeling overwhelmed by pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, or the many transitions of life? Struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, or coping with chronic illness? Experiencing infidelity, feeling disconnected, stuck, or lacking trust and intimacy with your partner? Or hey, maybe you’re just really freaking tired from carrying it all.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

I’m Destinee, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) therapist providing compassionate, trauma-informed virtual therapy to clients across Tennessee. I specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, and culturally sensitive care tailored to your unique identity and experience.

As a PMH-C therapist, I also offer support to adults, teens, and couples navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic illness, identity, trauma, stress, grief, infidelity and relationship challenges. With years of experience in psychiatric hospitals, medical settings like the PICU and NICU, private practice, schools, and grief support groups, I bring a well-rounded, expert approach to your mental health care. My couples counseling is self-pay only, at a rate of $170.
