My approach blends evidence-based practices with real, honest conversation. I will help you build practical tools, increase self-awareness, and take accountability—while also giving yourself grace. My goal is to help you not just cope, but truly grow and feel empowered in your life.

Hi, I’m Stephanie Carmichael, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC. I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience providing care in both medical and mental health settings. My background has allowed me to develop a strong understanding of how physical health, emotional well-being, stress, and life experiences are deeply connected.
I earned my Family Nurse Practitioner degree from East Tennessee State University and my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degree from Western Kentucky University. I have experience treating individuals across the lifespan with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, stress, burnout, and life transitions.
My approach to care is warm, collaborative, and individualized. I believe clients deserve to feel heard, respected, and actively involved in treatment decisions. I focus on building strong therapeutic relationships and creating a comfortable, judgment-free environment where clients can openly discuss their concerns and goals.
I provide evidence-based medication management while also incorporating supportive, therapy-informed care, education, and lifestyle considerations into treatment. My goal is to help clients improve not only their symptoms, but also their overall quality of life and emotional well-being.
Outside of my professional role, I value authenticity, resilience, personal growth, and meaningful connection with others. I understand that seeking mental health care can feel vulnerable, and I strive to make the process approachable, supportive, and empowering.
Hi, I’m Liz, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel collaborative, personalized, and human.

My approach combines medication management with a holistic understanding of mental health, including nervous system regulation, lifestyle, relationships, physical health, and life experiences. Together, we focus on finding practical, sustainable strategies that help you feel more grounded, functional, and like yourself again.

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.
