Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Sparta, TN

Hi, I’m Ashton, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for those seeking clarity, relief, and a sense of steadiness in their lives.

Hi, I’m Lauren, an LCSW who provides individual sex therapy for adult women through telehealth. I help women who are struggling with low or absent sexual desire, desire differences within relationships, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, painful sex, sexual shame, and difficulty communicating about sex.

You may love your partner and still wonder, “Why don’t I want sex anymore?” You may feel pressured, disconnected from your body, embarrassed talking about sex, or unsure what you even want sexually. These concerns are more common than many women realize, and therapy offers a private, judgment-free place to understand what may be contributing to them.

My goal is not to tell you how often you should have sex or what your sex life should look like. Instead, we’ll work toward helping you better understand your sexuality, identify your needs, strengthen your sense of choice and agency, and create a sexual life that feels authentic and satisfying to you.

If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, or struggles with alcohol or substance use, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I help adults work through difficult seasons, understand what’s keeping them stuck, and find healthier ways forward. Whether you’re adjusting to a loss, feeling overwhelmed, or ready to make a change, therapy can help you feel more grounded, hopeful, and in control of your life.

Wherever you are, we can start there. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and communities through a wide range of life challenges. I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate difficulties, recognize their strengths, set meaningful goals, and create lasting change.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, solution-focused, and goal-oriented. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe sharing their stories, concerns, and needs. I meet each client where they are, listen with intention, and build relationships grounded in trust, respect, empathy, and understanding.

I believe every client brings unique experiences, strengths, challenges, and goals to therapy. My role is to help clients understand what they are experiencing, identify barriers, and develop practical strategies for moving forward. I take a whole-person approach, considering the relationships, resources, life circumstances, and emotional needs that shape each person’s experience.

I am passionate about helping clients feel empowered to make positive changes. I support individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship or family concerns, major life transitions, or feelings of being stuck. My professional experience also includes supporting pregnant and postpartum mothers navigating depression, trauma, crises, life transitions, and the emotional and practical challenges of motherhood. This work has deepened my passion for perinatal mental health.

I believe asking for help is a sign of strength. My goal is to walk alongside each client, help them identify where they want to go, and support them as they work toward getting there.

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.

You can START therapy THIS week! You don't have to get on anybody's waiting list. My first priority is to relate to each person or couple as unique. Everyone has strengths that can be drawn on to help make therapy a positive, enriching, and productive experience. Let's work together so you can live your best life. No matter where you've been, what you've been through there's ALWAYS hope!
