Couples therapists in Tennessee

Hi everyone, Welcome! I have 10 years of experience of working with a wide array of clients. My area of concentration is couples and family therapy. But I have worked a lot with individual clients too. I am only able to offer telehealth video sessions.

Hey there! I am an LPC-MHSP in the state of Tennessee, having pursued an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. I have worked in a variety of settings providing individual and family therapy in community mental health, high acuity residential treatment, and in private practice, giving me a well-rounded understanding of the mental health field and how to address a variety of client issues.

With over a decade of experience, Kristina Villareal brings compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and personality disorders. Certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Kristina offers powerful tools for healing, particularly for those processing traumatic experiences.

At an early age most people are taught to be independent, strong, and self-sufficient. But, there are times in life when difficult situations can become overwhelming. During these difficult times in life some individuals do not realize that it is okay "Not to be Okay." Asking for help can be hard.

Welcome!

I’m Savannah, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for individuals and couples who want healing, restoration, and stabilization in their relationships and personal lives. Adulthood is full of challenges, changes, and hardship. But these challenges can be particularly overwhelming when you’ve entered adulthood with relational or childhood wounds. You may feel stuck, directionless, confused, enraged, depressed, anxious, and ashamed. However, there is hope.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I'm committed to providing a safe and nonjudgmental environment for exploring pathways to psychological and emotional healing. Specializing in Dialectical and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I believe everyone is worthy of love and happiness. I encourage people to see themselves through that same lens.

With over 20 years if experience, I provide counseling to adolescents, adults and senior adults. People from all faiths, cultures and world views are welcome in my practice. Clients come to my office seeking a safe place to process things that may have resulted in feelings of anxiety, depression, stress or relationship difficulties. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced trauma. Counseling is provided from a Biblical worldview and I will pray with clients upon request.

A Master's Degree in Counseling was earned in 2007 from Oakland University in Rochester, MI. Additionally I hold certifications in grief counseling and Story Informed Trauma Therapy (SITT). Work with couples and families is informed by doctoral level study and Gottman training to help improve communication in relationships. I have been married for 50 years, am the mother of two adult children and grand mother of seven.

My office provides a handicapped accessible space to process concerns in a home-like atmosphere. Counseling services are available in person and via telehealth.

I work with women who are tired of constantly holding everything together and are ready to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves again.

Together, we'll explore the patterns that are keeping you stuck and develop practical tools to help you navigate relationships, boundaries, anxiety, self-worth, and life transitions with greater clarity and confidence.

From the young adult days through perimenopause and beyond, I am here to walk with you through whatever life is throwing your way.

I am licensed clinical social worker offering therapy services that are tailored to the individual needs of each client. I am a proud Army Veteran, who served as a mental health provider to over 1500 soldiers in Kuwait. I have worked extensively in the Veteran and LGBTQ+ community.

I am passionate about improving mental health. My approach to therapy is both caring and compassionate, focused on helping clients identify and address their personal goals.

I’m a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with experience in both private practice and community mental health settings. My background allows me to work with a wide range of individuals, from those navigating everyday stress and anxiety to those managing more complex mental health conditions.

I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) degrees from Middle Tennessee State University, Maryville University, and Murray State University. My training across both primary care and psychiatry allows me to take a comprehensive, whole-person approach to care.
