Elaina Arriondo

Elaina Arriondo

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


I’m Elaina, a bicultural therapist whose own lived experiences shape how I sit with others. Many of my clients carry complex or childhood trauma layered with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or depression. They’re often the deep feelers and deep thinkers—the ones who’ve been told they’re “too much.”

I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship struggles, grief, affairs, identity shifts, and life transitions. I also enjoy working with military families, veterans, LGBTQ+ folks, and people from diverse cultural backgrounds who know that healing doesn’t look the same for everyone. My style is warm and human, with steady empathy and a willingness to challenge when it supports growth.

Therapist

Are you tired of carrying things that are just too heavy for you to carry alone anymore? As a licensed professional counselor, I can help you carry that load. In my 12 years as a counselor, I've worked with families, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in homes, outpatient offices, and online. I have a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, and have taught in graduate counseling programs, but my first love is working directly with individuals who are dealing with the effects of trauma, grief, burnout, or anxiety. I am a Christian and would be happy to incorporate your spiritual beliefs, whether Christian or not, into our work together, if desired.

Psychologist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi, I'm Dr. Amanda Harrell, a licensed clinical psychologist (Psy.D.). Since 2006, it's been a true privilege to walk alongside people in their healing and growth, and I'd be honored to do the same with you. Whatever brought you here — anxiety, depression, the heavy pull of shame or guilt, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or simply navigating a genuinely tough season — my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and truly supported as you move toward the life you want.

I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and have spent nearly two decades helping clients bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Whether you're facing loss, a major transition, or just feeling overwhelmed, you don't have to do it alone — we'll find a path forward together.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Tennessee

Searching for therapists in Tennessee starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Across the state, options vary between urban areas, smaller towns, and rural communities, so it helps to narrow your search by need first. You may want a therapist with experience in anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapy approach, and bio to see whether their background aligns with the kind of care you’re looking for.

Location and scheduling also shape the right fit. In Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and other parts of Tennessee, some people prefer in-person sessions near home or work, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and whether their communication style feels clear from their profile. Every therapist listed is accepting new patients, and reading bios before booking can help you understand what sessions may be like.

The cost of mental health care in Tennessee varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search therapists by insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and compare therapists who match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your specific coverage when you enter your insurance details. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
