Therapist

Hi, I’m Mary! I believe that therapy should be a safe place to explore your story, gain deeper self understanding, and learn ways to cope better with the hard things in life. I hope to create a fun and collaborative environment that feels inclusive and inviting.

When i'm not seeing clients I enjoy writing and playing music around Nashville, teaching Pure Barre, and hosting my dating podcast. I believe that therapy should incorporate healing of the mind, body, and spirit. I can’t wait to meet you!

Hannah Thompson

Hannah Thompson

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi, I’m Hannah! Born and raised in North Carolina and proud graduate of the University of North Carolina Wilmington, where I earned my Master’s in Social Work in 2022 and in VA undergraduate degree in Psychology in 2018.

For the past six years, I’ve worked in community mental health and have spent nearly two years in private practice. I’ve supported teens and adults through crisis, addiction, suicide prevention, trauma, and life transitions and I genuinely care about helping people feel steady, understood, and empowered again.

My approach blends evidence-based therapies like CBT, trauma-focused work, EMDR, Solution-Focused Therapy, and somatic interventions. That means we don’t just talk about what’s hard we build practical tools, process what’s been weighing on you, and create real movement forward.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in compassion. I would truly be honored to walk alongside you in this season.

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


I work primarily with women navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, self-esteem, guilt and shame, career stress, and major life transitions. Many of the women I work with are capable and successful on the outside but may feel overwhelmed, stuck, exhausted, or disconnected on the inside.

I have advanced training in EMDR, an evidence-based approach that can help you process difficult or traumatic experiences that may still be affecting you today. I also use a variety of approaches based on your individual needs, goals, and comfort level.

Together, we’ll work to better understand what you’re experiencing, how past experiences and current stressors may be affecting you, and what you need to move forward. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, develop greater self-awareness and self-compassion, and create meaningful change in your life.

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.
