Amanda Harrell

Psychologist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi, I'm Dr. Amanda Harrell, a licensed clinical psychologist (Psy.D.). Since 2006, it's been a true privilege to walk alongside people in their healing and growth, and I'd be honored to do the same with you. Whatever brought you here — anxiety, depression, the heavy pull of shame or guilt, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or simply navigating a genuinely tough season — my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and truly supported as you move toward the life you want.

I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and have spent nearly two decades helping clients bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Whether you're facing loss, a major transition, or just feeling overwhelmed, you don't have to do it alone — we'll find a path forward together.

Stephanie Carmichael

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi, I’m Stephanie Carmichael, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC. I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience providing care in both medical and mental health settings. My background has allowed me to develop a strong understanding of how physical health, emotional well-being, stress, and life experiences are deeply connected.

I earned my Family Nurse Practitioner degree from East Tennessee State University and my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degree from Western Kentucky University. I have experience treating individuals across the lifespan with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, stress, burnout, and life transitions.

My approach to care is warm, collaborative, and individualized. I believe clients deserve to feel heard, respected, and actively involved in treatment decisions. I focus on building strong therapeutic relationships and creating a comfortable, judgment-free environment where clients can openly discuss their concerns and goals.

I provide evidence-based medication management while also incorporating supportive, therapy-informed care, education, and lifestyle considerations into treatment. My goal is to help clients improve not only their symptoms, but also their overall quality of life and emotional well-being.

Outside of my professional role, I value authenticity, resilience, personal growth, and meaningful connection with others. I understand that seeking mental health care can feel vulnerable, and I strive to make the process approachable, supportive, and empowering.

Hi! I'm a dual-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner, with 6 years working as an APRN with adults. My focus is ADHD, anxiety, and depression, you know, the stuff that shows up in daily life and makes everything feel harder than it should. I handle psychiatric evaluations and medication management, and I actually enjoy the process of figuring out what works for you, not just what works in general.

Isaac Balduf

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


I bring a comprehensive background in healthcare and social services, with experience spanning a wide range of specialties and care settings. My work has included oncology, dementia care and caregiver support, geriatric evaluation, and primary care coordination. I have also provided services in adult day programs, nursing homes, home health, emergency rooms, and programs supporting individuals experiencing homelessness or serious mental illness.

In addition, I have supported clients dealing with depression, anxiety, sleep issues, substance use, and grief, always with a focus on person-centered, compassionate care. My experience extends to the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), where I’ve helped older adults maintain their independence and quality of life. I also have strong supervisory experience and a commitment to promoting collaborative, holistic approaches to well-being.

Steven Estes

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Smyrna, TN


I believe that meaningful change happens in the context of safe, authentic relationships. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, or relationship challenges, my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and challenged in ways that promote lasting growth.

I earned my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and work with adults, couples, and families. While relationships are a primary area of focus, I also work with individuals facing attachment wounds, overwhelming stress, emotional disconnection, and patterns that leave them feeling stuck. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. Rather than simply helping you manage symptoms, I want to help you understand what is driving them so meaningful change becomes possible.
