Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 7.6 mi away • Madison, TN


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 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.

Mary Smith

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


I tend to work well with people whose lives or mental health do not fit neatly into one box. Many of the people I work with are dealing with anxiety, trauma, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, substance use, relationship stress, or family conflict, and they often understand the pattern but still feel stuck in it. If you feel overwhelmed, reactive, burned out, or frustrated that insight alone has not created change, I want therapy to be a place where you can slow down, feel understood, and start making sense of what is happening beneath the surface.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Nashville, TN

Finding family therapists in Nashville starts with understanding what your family wants to address together. Family therapy can support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication breakdowns across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare Nashville therapists, look for someone whose listed experience matches your needs, such as work with children, teens, caregivers, couples, or multigenerational families.

Nashville has many therapy options across neighborhoods like East Nashville, The Gulch, Green Hills, and surrounding communities, which can make it harder to narrow the search. Some families prefer in-person sessions, while others choose virtual appointments to make scheduling easier across work, school, and caregiving needs. Session attendance may also vary, with the full family, smaller groups, or individual members joining at different points. Before booking, read therapist bios for details on approach, session structure, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

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. Headway helps you find family therapists in Nashville who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and compare therapists by specialty, availability, virtual or in-person format, and insurance fit. You can browse profiles, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
