I'm Tammie Elkins, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, with decades of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through some of life's hardest seasons.
My path into this work started in the classroom. I taught in Murfreesboro City Schools for 20 years before earning my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. That background gave me a front-row seat to how children develop, how families function under stress, and how much a single caring relationship can change someone's trajectory. It's shaped everything about how I practice today.

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.
