Grief counselors and therapists in Jackson, TN

Grace has been providing mental health care in Nashville since 2017. She spent much of her early career at Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital, where she gained extensive experience caring for individuals across the lifespan with a wide range of mental health concerns. She has since transitioned to outpatient practice, where she provides medication management and compassionate, individualized care to adults across Tennessee through telehealth. Grace takes a warm, collaborative approach to care and believes in taking the time to understand what is really contributing to a person’s symptoms rather than simply treating the diagnosis. She works with clients to find thoughtful, practical treatment options that fit their needs, preferences, and goals.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 14 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. Over time my work has become increasingly focused on helping clients build healthier relationships with themselves and others. I have a deep conviction that emotional wellbeing is closely connected to how we relate to ourselves and the people around us. My practice is centered on providing a space where clients feel truly seen, supported, and equipped to show up more fully for themselves and those they love. I also welcome clients who want to explore faith as part of their journey.

I work with people who feel stuck and are ready for change. Whether you’re facing stress, relationship issues, past hurts, or life transitions, I’m here to help you navigate what feels overwhelming. I’ve provided counseling to adults, youth, and couples in both community mental health and private practice. I’m licensed in Georgia and Florida and bring over 20 years of experience to our work together.

Hi, I’m Dawn Jones-Wilson, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 15 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, substance use concerns, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, supportive, direct, and down-to-earth—I believe therapy should feel like a safe place where you can be yourself. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s holding you back, build on your strengths, and help you create the life you want on your own terms.

I received my master degree from the University of Memphis in May 2009. I immediately started working with a variety of clientele. I have extensive experience with trauma related care, attachment trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, substance abuse disorders, grief/bereavement and life transitions. I have worked in the community, in schools, worked with clients privately and worked with clients in therapeutic/recovery courts. I have experience with children, adolescents, and adults ranging from ages 5-80. I have three certifications in trauma informed care.

I’m the kind of therapist who shows up as a real person first. I’m warm, honest, and deeply committed to helping you feel safe enough to be yourself. I have experience working with people navigating stress, relationship challenges, emotional ups and downs, and life transitions. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and genuinely supported.

I’m so excited that you found me and we get to do this journey together! What a privilege to walk by your side as you courageously take those first steps towards health, healing and wholeness. I’ve been a therapist for almost 10 years and have practiced in a variety of clinical settings. I’ve held space for clients and therapists experiencing the crushing pain of trauma and taught them skills to restore hope. I would love to join you as we learn how to do hard things together!
