Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Hendersonville, TN

With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I've had the privilege of working across a wide range of treatment settings, including acute care, non-acute care, residential treatment, and outpatient therapy. I work with adolescents and adults and have experience providing individual and couples therapy.

My primary areas of focus include relationship counseling using the Gottman Method, chronic pain and chronic illness through Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), addiction treatment informed by the work of Dr. Carl Hart, and Borderline Personality Disorder using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

In addition to these specialty areas, I frequently help clients navigate anxiety, panic attacks, depression, life transitions, adjustment disorders, parenting challenges, workplace stress, and the everyday demands that can leave us all feeling overwhelmed!

I have over 27 years of experience in nursing and mental health care. I specialize in supporting individuals of all ages who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and burnout.

I have a particular passion for working with caregivers, high-achieving professionals, and women who carry the emotional weight of others. My care blends evidence-based psychiatric treatment with holistic approaches to help clients achieve balance in mind, body, and spirit.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 20 years of nursing and nursing education experience. I offer both therapy and medication management so you can get the support you need in one place if that feels right for you.

I believe in helping clients feel better and offer hope immediately.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or simply not like yourself anymore? Perhaps you're constantly worrying, overthinking, avoiding situations that once felt manageable, or struggling to move beyond painful experiences. You don't have to figure it out alone.

I'm a clinical psychologist with more than 15 years of experience helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, depression, trauma, addiction, health-related concerns, and difficult life transitions. I especially enjoy helping people who feel trapped in cycles of fear, worry, avoidance, self-doubt, or unhealthy patterns affecting their relationships, confidence, and quality of life.

My approach goes beyond simply talking about your problems. I believe therapy should help you understand yourself more deeply while giving you practical tools to create lasting, meaningful change. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, work through difficult experiences, and develop strategies to help you feel more confident, capable, and in control.

My style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I tailor treatment to your needs using evidence-based approaches, including CBT, ACT, EMDR, exposure therapy, mindfulness, and Positive Psychology. As a health psychologist, I also recognize the important connection between emotional and physical well-being.

My experience spans private practice, psychiatric settings, substance use treatment, functional medicine, and college counseling. I earned my degrees from Northwestern University and the Illinois School of Professional Psychology and also teach graduate-level psychology courses.

You deserve to feel better, and meaningful change is possible. Whether you're hoping to overcome anxiety, heal from painful experiences, build confidence, or reconnect with yourself, my goal is to help you feel genuinely understood, supported, and empowered to move forward.

I’m a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with experience in both private practice and community mental health settings. My background allows me to work with a wide range of individuals, from those navigating everyday stress and anxiety to those managing more complex mental health conditions.

I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) degrees from Middle Tennessee State University, Maryville University, and Murray State University. My training across both primary care and psychiatry allows me to take a comprehensive, whole-person approach to care.

I have had the opportunity and blessing to work with individuals from all dynamic backgrounds and in those endeavors have acquired a great appreciation and respect for what each individual struggle with. It is my hope and responsibility to get them through this

My name is Lorraine Jefferson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My interest in therapy began over 30 years ago when I found myself suffering in silence with my own mental and behavioral health issues. Although counseling was unacceptable in my family and culture, I took the brave step to “try it out anyway” My hope and expectation to discover my own clear path toward healing was abruptly and painfully short-lived due to experiencing cultural insensitivity and judgement. But I knew in my heart that there was a kinder and more compassionate way to connect with people who needed a warm smile and listening ear.
