Welcome! I’m Cheryl D. Hoskins, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, supported, and treated with compassion. Seeking help isn’t always easy, and I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you can speak openly without fear of judgment. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, insomnia, mood disorders, and substance use disorders. Whether you’re facing a new challenge or have been struggling for years, my goal is to help you better understand your symptoms, develop effective coping strategies, and find a treatment plan that works for your unique needs and lifestyle. I view every client as a whole person—not just a diagnosis. Building a trusting relationship is the foundation of meaningful care, and I am committed to partnering with you every step of your journey toward improved mental health and overall well-being.

Dr. Bridgette Spann-Edwards

Therapist

Virtual • Memphis, TN


For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they work toward healing, growth, and change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor, and Substance Abuse Professional, I bring both deep clinical knowledge and a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy.

I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s most personal challenges—including relationship and intimacy concerns, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, and mental health struggles. I also provide substance abuse treatment, DOT/SAP evaluations, and recovery support using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, the Duluth Model, and the Matrix Model.

I have a special commitment to serving Black communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people living with HIV, re-entry populations, sex workers, and youth facing challenges. I understand how personal, cultural, and systemic factors shape each person’s story, and I create a safe, affirming space where clients feel truly seen and heard.

In our sessions, you can expect a respectful, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—we’ll set goals together, explore what’s holding you back, and develop practical strategies you can use in daily life a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to invest in your personal growth, I’m here to help you take that next step.

Therapist

Virtual • Murfreesboro, 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.

We are all perfectly imperfect. I truly believe you can become stronger through a healthier relationship with yourself and others when equipped with the proper navigational tools.
