I believe in helping clients feel better and offer hope immediately.
Hi! My name is Timothy, I'm a licensed professional counselor. I received my Master's in Counseling in 2022, and have been working as a therapist since then. I've specialized in family issues, childhood trauma, and ADHD, as well as helping people through panic attacks and depression.
I have been in private practice since 2015. I work mostly with adults around anxiety, depression, life changes and trauma. I provide a welcoming safe space for you to process your emotions and work on yourself.
Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Tennessee. I am also licensed in the states of UT and NE. I have been in practice for 15 years. I love working with clients who are genuinely seeking therapy for their own growth and awareness. I enjoy helping clients who want to take a deeper look at behaviors and relationships in their lives that could be modified and or improved. I started my career in community mental health working with individuals who were suffering from addiction, childhood trauma, family conflict, and faith crisis. I feel like I have learned the true impact addiction, poverty, trauma, and abuse can have on an individual and family system. This has helped me create space for clients to feel safe, heard, valued, and respected in our sessions. I look forward to meeting you!
When anxiety feels like it's running your life, or when thoughts keep looping no matter what you try, 25 years of experience makes a real difference. I'm Dr. Pamela Dobbins, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than two decades of practice working with adults through anxiety, panic, depression, and grief. I bring clinical depth and a direct, practical approach to every session. Clients often describe me as steady, clear, and genuinely invested in helping them build skills that last.
Sometimes your mind understands what’s happened, but your body still holds the impact. I’m trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, approaches that help gently process those deeper layers. My work integrates mindfulness and somatic awareness to support nervous system regulation, so change doesn’t just feel intellectual, it feels real, grounded, and lasting.
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.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, stress, life transitions, and burnout. I help adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem concerns, mood changes, family dynamics, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are looking for a safe place to talk things through and feel better.
I am a LCSW with over 20 years of experience who works with clients as a partner in their healing journey. I have a PhD in Public Affairs with a social work emphasis, and teach issues of ethics, working with complex cases and use of technology. My background is diverse including working in community mental health, hospice and end of life care, oncology and medical issues, as well as working with gender and sexual minorities.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Memphis
Finding the right therapist in Memphis starts with getting clear on what kind of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, ADHD, or grief, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your specific concerns can make a meaningful difference. Common license types in Tennessee include LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), and psychologists — each trained to provide talk therapy. If you need medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit.
With hundreds of providers practicing across Memphis and surrounding areas like Germantown, Bartlett, and Collierville, narrowing your options can feel like a lot. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider's therapeutic approach, the option for virtual or in-person sessions, or availability that fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.
Therapy in Memphis can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book — and many patients pay as little as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
