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 anything like the people I work with (and honestly, like I once was myself), you’ve probably spent a lot of time thinking, “Something has to change... but what?” That’s where I come in.

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.
