Therapist

If you're feeling stuck — wrestling with anxiety that won't quiet down, a mood that swings without warning, anger that surfaces faster than you'd like, or the weight of past trauma — you don't have to sort through it alone. I work with adults who are juggling demanding lives while quietly carrying ADHD, depression, grief, chronic pain, or relationship strain that's hard to put into words.

I came to this work after 20 years as a broadcast operations engineer. When an injury changed my path, I earned my Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and I've been a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) since 2019. I've practiced in integrated medical clinics with clients of every age, in intensive outpatient care, and in residential settings, and today I work primarily with adults over telehealth across Tennessee.

I see my role as helping you understand where your struggles come from, get clear on what you want therapy to change, and build a concrete, step-by-step plan to get there

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years of experience in nursing, beginning my career in 2007. As a 55-year-old African American female provider, I bring both clinical expertise and life experience into my practice, creating a compassionate and supportive space where patients feel heard, respected, and understood.

My approach to care is holistic and patient-centered, recognizing that mental health is influenced by emotional, physical, social, and cultural factors. I practice using a participatory and affirming style, partnering with my patients to develop treatment plans that align with their goals, values, and strengths. I believe in empowering individuals through education, collaboration, and encouragement.

While I strive to create a warm and supportive environment, I am also direct when needed, providing clear guidance and evidence-based treatment recommendations to support safety, stability, and long-term wellness.

My greatest strengths include empathy, active listening, cultural understanding, and a deep commitment to helping individuals improve their quality of life. I am passionate about supporting people on their journey toward healing, resilience, and mental well-being.

Mary Jo Harmon

Therapist

Virtual • Memphis, TN


I’m a therapist based in Memphis who works with high-achieving women navigating anxiety, burnout, identity transitions, and complex relationship dynamics. Many of my clients are successful on the outside and exhausted on the inside. They are often the responsible one, the strong one, the reliable one — and quietly overwhelmed.

My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), an evidence-based model that helps clients understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves — the driven part, the critical part, the anxious part, the part that feels unseen. I am Level 1 trained in IFS and integrate attachment-informed and trauma-responsive care into my practice.

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 Mental Health Therapist in Franklin, TN

Searching for therapists in Franklin starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and therapy approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions and what kinds of concerns they commonly support.

Franklin has mental health care options across areas like Cool Springs, Downtown Franklin, and nearby communities, but local appointment times may vary. Virtual care can expand your options, especially if you need a therapist licensed in Tennessee with availability that fits your schedule. Consider practical details like whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers in-person or virtual sessions, has appointment times that work for you, or provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, clinical focus, and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Franklin can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer estimate before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, check your benefits, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. You can browse therapists in Franklin, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
