Hi, I’m Elizabeth! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, trauma, and major life challenges.

Hi, I'm Dr. Deborah DeFrieze, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 15 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, depression, and life's hardest transitions. If anxiety or overwhelm has been running the show lately, I'm here to help you take the reins back — with a warm, honest, and practical approach.

My path to this work has been a rich one. Alongside my social work career, I spent 33 years in public education — as a teacher in both regular and special education, an assistant principal, a principal, and an assistant professor — and I served as a missionary in Africa for 18 months. Those experiences taught me to meet people where they are, across every walk of life and stage of change. I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and a doctorate in education from the University of Georgia, and I'm also a Licensed Massage Therapist, which deepens my appreciation for the mind-body connection in healing.

I draw on evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, tailoring our work to what will help you most.

Hello! I am a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 11 years of clinical experience helping individuals, couples, first responders, and families navigate stress, life transitions, PTSD, relationship impasses, trauma, depression and anxiety.

Throughout my career—directing crisis counseling units, consulting in high-stakes environments, and leading private practice care—I have worked with people facing overwhelming life circumstances. I understand that therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you are used to being the "strong one" for everyone else. My goal is to offer a grounded, confidential, and judgment-free environment where we cut through the noise, make sense of what is happening under the surface, and build practical strategies for meaningful relief.

I’m Shuntai Walker (Hill), MA, LPC, NCC, a Licensed Professional Counselor helping women and teen girls ages 13–17 navigate depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, forgiveness, and life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, struggling with intrusive thoughts, or adjusting to a new chapter, I offer a warm, supportive space to feel heard and begin moving forward.

I earned my master’s degrees from Liberty University and Spring Arbor University and am currently pursuing a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at Adler University. I’m accepting new clients and welcome the opportunity to support you or your daughter.

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.

Let’s get UNSTUCK. Therapy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, and healing and growth don’t have to come through more pain.

You may understand exactly what's causing a certain feeling or response and yet it still happens. You know you're safe but your mind/body responds as though you are not. You know you are capable but something keeps getting in the way.

I work with adults, teens, and children navigating trauma, anxiety, fears and phobias, guilt, shame, fear of judgement, grief, life transitions, perinatal experiences, and performance-related stressors. I also work with people who recognize something is getting in the way of how they'd like to be and are interested in accessing and perhaps expanding their potential.

Many of the people I work with have already put a lot of thought and effort into feeling better and gaining insight. You don’t have to have it figured out before you get here. My clients tend to be curious, motivated, and open to coloring a little outside of the lines. They often appreciate an active therapeutic process focused on creating clarity and change.

Sometimes the goal is deep relief from something painful. Sometimes it’s greater confidence, freedom, or the ability to show up more fully as yourself.

I’m a Rapid Resolution Therapy Certified Specialist and a National Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, with additional training in Brainspotting and other experiential and strength-based approaches.

Everyone has their own unique journey when it comes to healing, and it’s important to me to give my clients a space where they always feel valued and respected. Whether you’re working through trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, or another challenge life has brought your way, it’s okay to ask for help. With over 4 years of experience, I work with children, teens, adults, and seniors, helping them make sense of what they’re going through and find ways to feel better.
