Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 30 mi away • Murfreesboro, TN


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.

If you're a parent watching your child struggle, a teen who feels like no one gets it, or an adult carrying more than you know how to name, you're in the right place. I work with clients across every stage of life, from toddlers to seniors, and I understand that anxiety, depression, and trauma don't look the same at every age. Over the years I've sat with people through some of their hardest moments, and I've learned that healing starts with having one person who won't flinch at what you bring into the room.

Hi! I'm so glad you're here. I have been a LPC-MHSP in TN for over 2 years, and have a long history of mental health training and experience prior to that. I have lived all over - Guam, NE, CO, IL - and bring my love for learning and connecting with people to each aspect of my life. With curiosity and empathy I have been able to grow my professional experiences to include practicing in community mental health settings, inpatient hospitals, collaborative care environments, and now in private practice. I enjoy the freedom and autonomy in which private practice offers, as it allows me to meet each client where they are and adjust our treatment goals as needed.

As a fully licensed therapist, I work collaboratively with you to better understand your experiences, identify patterns that may be impacting your well-being, and develop practical tools to help you move forward. My approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and focused on meeting you where you are.

I recognize that every person’s story is different, and I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Together, we can explore what is most important to you, build on your strengths, and create meaningful goals that fit your life.

Tiffany Lindfield

Therapist

Virtual • Memphis, TN


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.

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

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.
