As a fully licensed therapist, I work collaboratively with you to better understand your experiences, identify patterns that may be impacting your well-being, and develop practical tools to help you move forward. My approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and focused on meeting you where you are.
I recognize that every person’s story is different, and I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Together, we can explore what is most important to you, build on your strengths, and create meaningful goals that fit your life.
I’m Laura, a licensed therapist with 13 years of experience helping adults navigate life transitions, stress, and personal growth. I work with athletes, college students, new parents, and adults who want support managing challenges, building resilience, and finding balance. My approach is grounded, practical, and compassionate, drawing on my professional training as well as real-life experience. I create a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported.
I grew up in Boise, Idaho and earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Social Work from Boise State University, along with a Master's in Public Administration from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
I have worked in inpatient, outpatient, and with in-home services and I love learning families’ and individuals’ strengths and helping meet others along their growth paths.
I’m a dual certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides thoughtful, individualized medication management for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when your mind isn’t working the way you want it to. I specialize in mood disorders, ADHD, addiction, anxiety and PTSD across the lifespan

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.
