Maddy Egner

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 25 mi away • Mt. Juliet, TN


Hi, I’m Maddy Egner, LPC-MHSP. I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My approach is person-centered, meaning I meet you where you are and tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals. I also believe humor can be healing — even in the midst of hard things — and I strive to create a space that feels both safe and authentic. A little laughter and (when appropriate) dark humor can really help us shift, take action, and grow.

I earned my degree from West Texas A&M University and am licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor – Mental Health Service Provider in Tennessee. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

***Please note, I only offer in person sessions on Mondays. I offer telehealth sessions Tuesday and Thursday. All initial free 15 consultations will be done via phone call.***
