I am an individual counseling with over 12 years of experience at the Post-Graduate level. I specialize in working with adults and have experience with many clinical settings, including In-patient care, community mental health and private practice. I also provide Clinical Supervision for counselors that are on track to become licensed in the state of Tennessee.
Hi, I’m Mary! I believe that therapy should be a safe place to explore your story, gain deeper self understanding, and learn ways to cope better with the hard things in life. I hope to create a fun and collaborative environment that feels inclusive and inviting.
When i'm not seeing clients I enjoy writing and playing music around Nashville, teaching Pure Barre, and hosting my dating podcast. I believe that therapy should incorporate healing of the mind, body, and spirit. I can’t wait to meet you!
Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Therapist with 3 years of experience helping adults and families navigate life's challenges. I earned my degree from Lipscomb University and am licensed in Tennessee.
My clinical background includes working in an eating disorder residential facility as well as a healthcare clinic supporting clients in addiction recovery. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of complex emotional and behavioral challenges and the courage it takes to seek help.
Whether you are struggling with everyday stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, or deeper mental health concerns, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth. I would love the opportunity to support you — please don't hesitate to reach out!
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.
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.
My dedication to helping people with life-controlling issues stems from my journey in recovery. I am active in the local 12-step community and regularly sponsor others who are seeking sobriety, as I have been able to break the cycle of generational addiction in my family.
Maybe you’re the person who holds everything together, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or exhausted from trying so hard to get things right. Or maybe parenting is bringing up emotions and patterns you never expected. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, perfectionism, relationships, and parenting. I’m an EMDR-trained therapist, and I’ll help you understand what’s happening underneath—not just manage what shows up on the surface.
Many people come to therapy because something in their relationships isn’t working—conflict that keeps repeating, difficulty feeling close, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or others. Beneath these patterns, there is often something deeper: old wounds, protective strategies, and unmet longings that continue to shape how we show up in the present.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Nashville
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.
