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’ve got tools to help you feel more balanced and in control! I work with adults and I’m passionate about supporting first responders (IAFF-trained and always learning!) and anyone navigating addiction. I have a masters in clinical counseling with a specialization in trauma and addiction. Think of me as your partner in creating calm, confidence, and positive change—in a totally judgment-free zone.
I’m Laura, a licensed therapist with 13 years of experience helping adults navigate life transitions, stress, and personal growth. I work with athletes, college students, new parents, and adults who want support managing challenges, building resilience, and finding balance. My approach is grounded, practical, and compassionate, drawing on my professional training as well as real-life experience. I create a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported.
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.
I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) and Board Certified Hypnotherapist based in Madison, TN, with 16 years in practice. I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and am a certified hypnotherapist through the National Guild of Hypnotists. I'm also an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, so I train and supervise other clinicians in addition to seeing clients myself.
I work with adults and families around addiction, trauma and PTSD, and impulse control disorders, along with anxiety, low self-esteem, mood disorders, OCD, relationship issues, and compulsive or disruptive patterns. Hypnotherapy and Internal Family Sytems are my favorite modalities.
I offer both in-person sessions (at Watershed Wellness Cooperative in Madison) and telehealth, with daytime, evening, and weekend availability.
I’m Monique Watson, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 20 years of experience, and I started this practice to ensure every patient has a space where they feel truly heard. I hold a post-master’s degree and specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and postpartum depression through a supportive, collaborative approach.
My current treatment focuses/ training are for perinatal mental health, and Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT). I'm passionate about working with the BIPOC population, LGBTQ+ population, teens, young adults, and older as they learn how to navigate life’s challenges and transitions. I'm dedicated to working with those of various backgrounds and walks of life.
With over a decade of experience, I offer tailored therapy for diverse challenges: Disruptive Behavior, Parental Stress, LGBTQIA Support, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Relationships, Grief, Life Transitions, BIPOC Concerns, and Personal Growth. I use a holistic approach integrating Trauma-Informed Care, CBT, and Behavior Therapy. Let's work towards healing and growth together!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Memphis
Finding family therapists in Memphis starts with knowing what kind of support your family needs. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication patterns across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare Memphis therapists, look for bios that mention family systems, structural family therapy, parenting support, or experience working with children, teens, and caregivers.
In a mid-size city like Memphis, your search may include therapists with offices near different neighborhoods, as well as therapists who offer virtual appointments across Tennessee. Session structure can also vary. Some appointments may include the full family, while others may focus on caregivers, siblings, couples, or individual family members. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered, so you can ask how they typically structure family therapy.
Therapy in Memphis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, match your family’s needs, and accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated cost before booking, then browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
