Hello,
I am Kirbie Anderson and I am here to assist you. I received my MSSW from the University of Tennessee of Knoxville. I have an extensive background in Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy . I specialize in individual psychotherapy, as well as domestic violence, self-esteem and grief. I counsel adults and college students.
I am passionate about helping clients find their voice to put words to their unique experiences. I approach each session with compassionate curiosity to provide you with a safe space to show up as your most authentic self. I hope that you feel seen, heard, understood, and accepted. I am enthusiastic about seeing my clients move towards health and healing. I consider it an honor and a privilege to support you throughout our work together.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out! Do you ever have those days when things are especially difficult?? When "Life is Lifing" as we say?? Many of the people that I meet and work with are looking for support with mental health, substance abuse, and/or management of traumatic events. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I'm also a Mom of three and a dog Mom of two who likes to practice what I preach in my own life. As a strong believer in the mental/physical health connection, a lot of my focus is incorporating integrated health into our treatment approach. I also support an intimate hospice team in my area so I am comfortable having uncomfortable conversations about life. If you are interesting in giving therapy a shot, or just learning a bit more about my approach, feel free to reach out and we'll see where it takes us.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Nashville, TN
Searching for therapists in Nashville starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Nashville has a broad mental health community across areas like East Nashville, Midtown, Green Hills, and nearby suburbs, so it helps to narrow your options by need first. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Nashville therapists, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and population experience that fit your goals, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.
In a major metro area like Nashville, having many options can make the search feel harder to sort through. Practical factors can help you decide which therapist is a usable match. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near your home, work, or campus, or virtual appointments that fit more easily into your schedule. You can also compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, free phone consultation options, and session style. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist communicates, what they focus on, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Nashville can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual appointments. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage available in Nashville. You can browse therapists, review bios, 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.
