Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.8 mi away • Brentwood, TN


Maybe you’re the person who holds everything together, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or exhausted from trying so hard to get things right. Or maybe parenting is bringing up emotions and patterns you never expected. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, perfectionism, relationships, and parenting. I’m an EMDR-trained therapist, and I’ll help you understand what’s happening underneath—not just manage what shows up on the surface.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 9 mi away • Brentwood, TN


Many people come to therapy because something in their relationships isn’t working—conflict that keeps repeating, difficulty feeling close, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or others. Beneath these patterns, there is often something deeper: old wounds, protective strategies, and unmet longings that continue to shape how we show up in the present.

Hi, my name is Tandy Jackson. I hold an LPC-MHSP license in the state of Tennessee and have 5 years of experience working with clients for various issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, coping strategies, relational issues, emotional issues, and trauma. My practice involves a combination of humor, compassion, challenge, and encouragement as I walk with clients on their journey to learn more about themselves and take the risk of trying new things--first in the therapeutic relationship then extending into their lives outside of session.
