Steven Estes

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • 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.

Lee Moore

Lee Moore

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 17 mi away • Brentwood, TN


Many people walk through life saying, “I’m fine. Everything is fine.” But often, fine is just a placeholder — a way to avoid feelings that feel too big, too inconvenient, or too overwhelming. FINE stands for Feelings In Need of Expression.

My work centers on helping clients safely express the emotions they’ve been holding in. One of my strengths is actively listening and creating a grounded, compassionate space where those unspoken feelings can finally come forward. We’re taught to suppress our emotions and push through, but those feelings don’t disappear. They settle into the body, they leak out in our interactions, and eventually they build — like pressure inside a volcano — until they erupt.

In therapy, you don’t have to hold it all together. You don’t have to pretend you’re fine. You get room to breathe, to feel, and to release what’s been stuck for far too long. My goal is to help you understand your emotional landscape, express what needs to be expressed, and move toward a life that feels more honest, grounded, and connected.

Find the right therapist for you

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 Mental Health Therapist in Murfreesboro, TN

Searching for therapists in Murfreesboro starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. People often look for therapy in Murfreesboro, TN for concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or family therapy. A therapist’s profile can also help you understand their style, focus areas, and what sessions may look like.

Murfreesboro has local therapy options across areas like Downtown, Northgate, and nearby neighborhoods, while virtual appointments can expand your options across Tennessee. If an in-person office fits your routine, consider location, parking, and how often you plan to attend sessions. If your schedule changes often, a therapist with virtual availability may be a better fit. You can also narrow your search by appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, therapeutic approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.

Therapy in Murfreesboro can be a significant cost without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans and are accepting new clients. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book, then review therapist bios, compare availability, 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
