I have over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy across a wide range of settings, including acute and non-acute mental health, residential treatment, and outpatient care. Throughout my career, I've worked with adults, adolescents, individuals, and couples facing everything from everyday life stressors to more complex emotional and psychological challenges.
While I work with a broad range of concerns, I have particular interests in relationship counseling using the Gottman Method, chronic pain utilizing Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), addiction, borderline personality disorder using DBT, and anxiety-related disorders. I also frequently help clients navigate life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting, work stress, panic, and general emotional well-being.
One thing that deeply shapes my work is a genuine curiosity about the human condition. I believe every person's story makes sense when we take the time to understand it. Rather than viewing people through the lens of a diagnosis alone, I strive to understand the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and circumstances that have shaped who they are. I see therapy as a collaborative process of exploration, insight, and meaningful change.

My name is LaDarrius, and I am an LPC-MHSP licensed in the state of TN. I have worked with a variety of people struggling with mental health.

In order to further support the best way I can, I have furthered my education by attaining my masters in clinical mental health counseling. I am also currently working on my doctorate. I am committed to serving individuals, couples, and families when it comes to life struggles. Let's begin this journey together.
I believe therapy works best when you don’t have to carry everything by yourself. We all carry things with us—our histories, relationships, expectations, losses, responsibilities, and the stories we’ve learned to tell about ourselves. Sometimes the things we’ve learned to carry help us move through life; other times, they become heavier than we realized. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what you’re carrying, and decide what you want to keep, what you might be ready to set down, and what you may need help carrying.
You don’t need to come to therapy with everything figured out. We can start wherever you are and work from there. My role isn’t to tell you what you should do, but to help you understand yourself more clearly, make sense of the patterns that keep showing up, and find a way forward that feels genuinely like your own.
For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they work toward healing, growth, and change.

I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s most personal challenges—including relationship and intimacy concerns, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, and mental health struggles. I also provide substance abuse treatment, DOT/SAP evaluations, and recovery support using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, the Duluth Model, and the Matrix Model.
I have a special commitment to serving Black communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people living with HIV, re-entry populations, sex workers, and youth facing challenges. I understand how personal, cultural, and systemic factors shape each person’s story, and I create a safe, affirming space where clients feel truly seen and heard.
In our sessions, you can expect a respectful, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—we’ll set goals together, explore what’s holding you back, and develop practical strategies you can use in daily life a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to invest in your personal growth, I’m here to help you take that next step.

Find the right couples therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Nashville
Finding couples therapists in Nashville starts with knowing what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy, marriage counseling, and relationship counseling can support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, parenting disagreements, and major life transitions. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties and training match your needs. Licensed marriage and family therapists, as well as therapists trained in couples approaches like the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy, may be a strong fit for relationship-focused care.
Nashville has many therapy options across neighborhoods and nearby areas, which can make the search feel broad at first. The right fit also needs to work for both partners’ schedules, preferences, and appointment format. Some couples prefer an in-person office, while others choose virtual sessions to make shared scheduling easier. As you compare Nashville couples counseling options, review therapist bios for details on their communication style, session structure, availability, and whether they offer a brief consultation to talk through fit before booking.
Couples therapy in Nashville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find Nashville therapists who offer couples counseling and have openings for new clients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. You can compare profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance, 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.
