Are you apart of a generation where you want to embrace, embody, and empower your mental stability? Do you believe you have been impacted by unhealthy habits of coping? Maybe the daily stress, past trauma, or woes of motherhood can use some support? If you find yourself answering yes, then this maybe your first step towards healing. My name is Dyamond Williams, therapist and owner of Healing Gems Counseling where we embrace, embody, and empower mental stability. I have a passion for working with the BIPOC community as well as women, professionals, and the everyday individual. My goal is to help you embrace healing without judgement.
Hi! My name is Jill Thomas. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from Boise State University in 2013 and received an advanced degree in Business from Vanderbilt University in 2020. I am trained in perinatal mental health, EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, DBT, CBT and utilize somatic therapies whenever I can. I am a yoga teacher and find movement to be a valuable tool.
I get it—feeling stuck in the same old patterns, craving deeper connections, and wondering how to even begin to break free can be exhausting. 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.
I believe reaching out for support is a meaningful first step toward creating positive change. As a warm, compassionate, and welcoming counselor, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self and feel empowered throughout the counseling process. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
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.
I believe the best mental health care begins with trust, compassion, and open communication. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences without fear of judgment.
I understand that reaching out for help isn't always easy, and I strive to meet each person where they are. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, life transitions, trauma, ADHD, or simply feeling overwhelmed, we'll work together to develop a treatment plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle.
I take a collaborative approach to care, combining evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy, education, and practical coping strategies. I want my clients to understand not only what we're treating but why certain treatments may be beneficial, so they feel informed and involved in every decision.
With years of experience in psychiatric care across inpatient and outpatient settings, I've worked with individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges. I believe healing isn't about being perfect—it's about making meaningful progress, building resilience, and finding balance in everyday life.
My hope is that every client leaves our appointments feeling heard, respected, and supported.
My practice is a good fit for clients who are looking for:
- Compassionate, nonjudgmental care
- Medication management with education and shared decision-making
- Practical tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning
- A provider who listens and works collaboratively
- Long-term support focused on sustainable mental wellness
I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward better mental health.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Nashville
Finding postpartum therapists in Nashville starts with looking for care that fits your specific needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum support can include help with postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity changes, pregnancy loss, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, prenatal concerns, postpartum couples counseling, or related support. A credential like PMH-C can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.
Nashville has many therapy options, and the number of choices can make it harder to narrow your search. New parents may also need care that fits around unpredictable schedules, infant care, and physical recovery. Virtual appointments can make it easier to access a postpartum therapist from home, while in-person care may be a better fit if you prefer an office setting. Before booking, read therapist bios for details on availability, therapy style, session structure, 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 and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway lets you search for postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details for an upfront cost estimate, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
