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.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with children, teens, young adults, adults, and families. I earned my graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Trevecca Nazarene University and have been working with clients since 2021.
I especially enjoy working with children and adolescents, including those navigating ADHD, autism, grief, family changes, and the challenges that come with growing up. I also work with young adults and adults experiencing grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, and significant life transitions.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 20 years in the business world. That experience has given me a unique perspective on work, relationships, parenting, responsibility, and what it means to make difficult changes in your life.
I believe every person deserves to feel known, valued, and hopeful about what comes next. That belief is at the heart of my work as a therapist.
I’m Monique Watson, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 20 years of experience, and I started this practice to ensure every patient has a space where they feel truly heard. I hold a post-master’s degree and specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and postpartum depression through a supportive, collaborative approach.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Nashville
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.
