I bring an open mind and an open heart when working with my clients. I want to help my clients understand that they are not a problem, but the problem is the problem. I respect my clients and work hard to make them feel heard. I work to support my clients in their circumstances and meet them where they are. I have training in EMDR and narrative therapy. I endeavor to provide treatment that is trauma informed. I use CBT skills as well as other interventions.

Elaina Arriondo

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


I’m Elaina, a bicultural therapist whose own lived experiences shape how I sit with others. Many of my clients carry complex or childhood trauma layered with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or depression. They’re often the deep feelers and deep thinkers—the ones who’ve been told they’re “too much.”

I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship struggles, grief, affairs, identity shifts, and life transitions. I also enjoy working with military families, veterans, LGBTQ+ folks, and people from diverse cultural backgrounds who know that healing doesn’t look the same for everyone. My style is warm and human, with steady empathy and a willingness to challenge when it supports growth.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Nashville

Searching for ADHD therapists in Nashville starts with deciding what kind of support you need. A therapist can help with executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, and support for concerns like procrastination, organization, attention, and follow-through. A psychiatrist may be a fit if you want to discuss diagnosis or medication management. Some people look for therapy, some look for medication support, and some work with both. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can also call for different experience, so review each therapist’s listed specialties before booking.

Nashville has a large mental health care market, and the number of options can make the search harder to narrow. You may want an office near your neighborhood, work, or school, or you may prefer virtual appointments that fit around your schedule. ADHD can also overlap with anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, or work and school stress, so look for a therapist who has experience with the full picture of what you want support for. Therapist bios can show how they structure sessions, what approaches they use, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you start care.

Therapy in Nashville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket session costs. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who match your needs and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to check coverage and estimated costs for therapists in Nashville before you book. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book, then compare bios, availability, and appointment format when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

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