You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, past experiences, or relationship conflict that still affect how you show up in daily life and relationships. Many people reach out for therapy when trauma, depression, grief, or substance use begins to feel too heavy to manage alone. You may feel stuck in patterns of anger, conflict, or emotional pain and want a safe place to talk honestly about what’s going on. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and begin finding healthier ways to cope and move forward. I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, understood, and respected.

This is a telehealth practice. As a personal choice, the use of narcotics or other controlled (DEA) meds are minimal, if any. I've been a psych nurse practitioner for at least 14yrs. I believe in managing conditions with psychiatric and non-psychiatric treatment modalities that are evidence based. The use of the least amount of meds, at lower doses that does the healing of symptoms, is an active process involving the client and based on the reported experiences. Safety is the core of my practice and my job is to help clients understand internal signals and how to prevent another crisis.

Hi! I'm Corey, owner of Dad Therapist. Since 2019, I have worked with expecting fathers, new dads, NICU parents, and dads who have experienced pregnancy loss, stillbirth, infant loss, and infertility. I'm a NICU dad (2020 and 2025 babies) and have three living sons and one stillborn daughter. One of the things I love most about being the “Dad Therapist” is that I get to work with clients I can deeply relate to. My empathy comes from lived experience, not just my professional training.

Hi, I'm Dr. Lewis! I believe that your past experiences don't have to define your future. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, and struggles with self-worth. I also have experience supporting individuals affected by substance use and recovery. Whether you're carrying the weight of difficult experiences, feeling stuck in familiar patterns, or simply looking for a healthier way forward, my goal is to help you find clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of hope.

My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, and focused on understanding you as a whole person. I recognize that our experiences, relationships, and beliefs all play a role in how we navigate life's challenges. I strive to create a welcoming environment where you feel comfortable being yourself while working toward meaningful change. If faith or spirituality is important to you, I'm also happy to incorporate it into our work in a way that respects your personal beliefs.

Satoria Pearce

Therapist

Virtual • Franklin, TN


Growing up and transitioning into adulthood, I always felt that I needed a "person". Someone who could be there to support me through the hardships and uncertainties of life. Someone who was unbiased and was there to just listen or to be that shoulder to cry on when I felt like no one in the world would be able to understand me. Being that person that I once needed, is what fueled the desire within to become a therapist.
