Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.1 mi away • Nashville, TN


Hi, my name is Tandy Jackson. I hold an LPC-MHSP license in the state of Tennessee and have 5 years of experience working with clients for various issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, coping strategies, relational issues, emotional issues, and trauma. My practice involves a combination of humor, compassion, challenge, and encouragement as I walk with clients on their journey to learn more about themselves and take the risk of trying new things--first in the therapeutic relationship then extending into their lives outside of session.

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 Nashville, TN

Searching for therapists in Nashville starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Nashville has a broad mental health community across areas like East Nashville, Midtown, Green Hills, and nearby suburbs, so it helps to narrow your options by need first. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Nashville therapists, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and population experience that fit your goals, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.

In a major metro area like Nashville, having many options can make the search feel harder to sort through. Practical factors can help you decide which therapist is a usable match. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near your home, work, or campus, or virtual appointments that fit more easily into your schedule. You can also compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, free phone consultation options, and session style. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist communicates, what they focus on, and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Nashville can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual appointments. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage available in Nashville. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The 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.
