My Philosophy On Healing

” I will not rescue you.

For you are not powerless.

I will not fix you.

For you are not broken.

I will not heal you.

For I see you, in your wholeness.

I will walk with you through the darkness as you remember your light.”

-Sheree Bliss Tilsley.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Hi, my name is Greg and I provide thoughtful, individualized psychotherapy and medication management rooted in trust, clinical experience, and genuine human connection. My approach is intentional and collaborative—taking the time to understand each person’s history, goals, and needs before making or adjusting treatment decisions. I support care through both in-office and telehealth visits and serve as a resource by connecting patients to trusted mental health providers when additional support is needed.

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.
