I'm Simone Maia an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist AMFT #2916 practicing under the supervision of Nancy Chou Keomany LMFT #2165 in the state of Tenessee. I am dedicated to walking alongside individuals and couples as they navigate anxiety, grief and loss, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I am committed to offering a steady, compassionate presence and believe that healing happens in connection, through feeling seen, heard, and understood.

I’m Marilee, and as your counselor, I bring a lifetime of learning and experience with relationships to the counseling room. I am passionate about the marriage relationship and I know how critical it is to individual and family well-being. But relationships can be hard, even with the people you love.. I recognize the pain that comes from when our reality doesn't meet our expectations, and I love helping clients see new possibilities for their relationship. In addition to counseling, I have a Masters of Science in Family Studies and am an adjunct professor in the Educational Psychology department at the University of North Texas. Along with Parenting and Child Development, my favorite course to teach is Courtship & Marriage which focuses on relationships, and how they thrive when they are based on a foundation of trust, commitment, good communication, repair skills, and grace. It is this course which ultimately inspired me to pursue a second master's degree in Marriage & Family Therapy. Married for more than 3 decades, I am mom to four 'grown and flown' kids and “Rara” to 5 grandchildren whom I adore. When I’m not at work I enjoy pickleball, paddleboarding, home renovation, travel and spending time with friends and family.

I work with adults, teens (13+), and couples who look like they have it all together—but are barely holding on. If you're just trying to get through the day, managing everything on the outside while struggling on the inside, you're not alone. And you're not broken. Maybe you're dealing with constant anxiety, a mind that won't stop racing, anger that surprises you, or a need to control everything around you. Maybe you're avoiding things that used to matter, relying on substances to take the edge off, or just feeling exhausted from trying to keep it all together. I don't just treat symptoms. I help you understand why they're there in the first place. Your symptoms—the anxiety, the anger, the avoidance—aren't the problem. They're your body's way of telling you something needs attention. Something you've been pushing aside or don't fully understand yet. We'll work together to figure out what you're really dealing with underneath the survival mode. Once we understand why your nervous system is responding this way, we can find better ways forward that don't require you to just keep pushing through. No clinical jargon. No, making you feel like a diagnosis. Just practical, evidence-based work that helps you understand what's happening and why—and gives you real tools to feel better. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience in trauma-informed care. I work with individuals and couples in-person and online throughout TX and Austin using CBT/DBT.

As a triple-licensed Clinical Psychologist with over three decades of experience, Dr. Tina Boni has worked very closely with neurodiverse clients of all ages and backgrounds ... helping them, and their families, to better understand and navigate the unique challenges of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD), Bipolar Disorder, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, mood disorders, and behavioral challenges. Dr. Boni provides thorough diagnostic evaluations and individualized treatment plans rooted in evidence-based care. Her approach is grounded in behavioral principles (ABA) and enriched with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices. Every client is different—and her work is tailored to honor each individual’s strengths, needs, and goals. Caregivers and partners often come to me feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or searching for answers. Neurodiversity Counseling & Consulting offers clarity, compassion, and a path forward. So whether you're seeking a diagnosis, tools to support emotional and behavioral growth, or a trusted partner, we have assisted thousands of clients and their families and are available to help. **Let’s work together to support your growth, confidence, and wellness. Clear answers and directional clarity are closer than you expect .**

Many clients come to therapy with the hope that they will stop feeling a certain way. However, similar to a Chinese finger trap, the more we try to fight our emotions, the more we struggle. I support clients in understanding the role of emotions, finding healthy ways to express them, and building the capacity to sit with difficult feelings so they can move through life with greater confidence. I also help clients gain insight into how their past experiences shape the present and support them in moving toward alignment with their goals and values.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Nashville, Tennessee. I’m originally from Montgomery, Alabama, and I’ve called Nashville home since 2018. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Mississippi and later completed Belmont University’s accelerated nursing program. After graduating from Belmont, I worked as a registered nurse at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where I cared for patients with complex medical and psychiatric needs. I went on to complete my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, specializing in psychiatric mental health, and now practice as a PMHNP. Outside of work, I’m a mother who loves spending time with my family, traveling, and expressing my creativity through hand embroidery.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) and the founder of Kevin Spain Counseling, with over a decade of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges and find meaningful healing. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. I work with couples and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relational conflict, and major life transitions. I have extensive experience helping individuals process loss, rebuild emotional resilience, and develop healthier patterns in their relationships and daily lives. I also work with couples to strengthen communication, restore trust, and deepen emotional connection. My approach integrates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-informed care (EMDR), somatic awareness, and attachment-focused interventions. I believe healing happens within safe relationships, and I strive to help clients better understand themselves, regulate emotions, and move forward with clarity and confidence. As a supervisor, I am committed to mentoring and developing future counselors with integrity and compassion. Outside of my counseling work, I have been married to my wife, Janna, for 15 years, and we have one child. My personal experiences as a husband and father deeply shape my understanding of relationships, family dynamics, and the importance of connection and support.

I am an EMDR-trained, Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, identity concerns, and major life transitions. My work is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and grounded in an understanding of the nervous system and mind–body connection. Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working in movement- and body-based professions, which continues to shape how I understand stress, trauma, and healing as lived, physical experiences—not just cognitive ones. I also bring lived experience as a former first responder, as well as a deep respect for creativity, curiosity, and the many ways people make meaning.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally worn down by life circumstances that don’t let up. Chronic stress, caregiving responsibilities, major life changes, illness, loss, and unresolved trauma can quietly build over time, leaving you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions, especially when those struggles are connected to caregiving, medical experiences, grief, or trauma. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and practical, helping clients make sense of their emotional responses while learning ways to regulate stress, process difficult experiences, and regain a sense of stability and direction. I have specialized training in trauma-informed care and EMDR, and I frequently support clients dealing with caregiver burnout, anticipatory grief, complicated loss, and the emotional impact of serious illness. At the same time, many of the people I work with are simply feeling overwhelmed by life, relationships, or ongoing stress and want support in feeling more like themselves again. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to your needs. Whether you are facing a specific loss, navigating ongoing stress or anxiety, or trying to adjust to a major change, my goal is to provide a supportive space where you can feel understood, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Life can be complicated, and sometimes the things we struggle with aren’t easy to untangle on our own. Mental and emotional challenges come from a mix of life experiences, environment, genetics, and our own readiness or ability to make changes. Counseling gives us a place to slow down, make sense of those things, and better understand why we feel or react the way we do. Through that process, people often develop greater self-awareness and experience real emotional and mental growth. I’m Joe Chester, LPC-MHSP, and I’ve been practicing counseling full time since 2011. Before becoming a counselor, I spent more than 30 years working as an engineer and project manager here in Middle Tennessee. That experience shaped how I approach counseling today. I tend to be practical and thoughtful, helping people work through problems in ways that make sense for their lives while also creating space for deeper reflection and growth. Outside of my counseling practice, I enjoy volunteering with local churches, community organizations, and non-profits throughout the area. One thing I believe strongly is this: no one knows you better than you do. I’ll never claim to be the expert on your life. My role is to listen, ask the right questions, and walk alongside you as you work through challenges and discover the path forward that feels right for you. If you decide to begin counseling, it would be a privilege to walk that journey with you.

Hello! My name is Alysse Shropshire. I founded my practice as a result of my personal journey and professional commitment to healing. I grew up in a turbulent and dysfunctional environment that all too often did not feel safe. I lived with anxious and perfectionist ideas that if I could just be perfect then nothing bad could happen to me. My formative years were spent walking on eggshells and being broken down until I believed that I was not good enough. ​In recent years, as I've navigated the challenges of infertility, I have come to recognize the profound emotional and psychological toll of reproductive trauma. The struggle of trying to balance ambiguous grief with maintaining hope for the future. The anxiety that comes with having complete lack of control. Unfortunately, I am not alone and mine is not a unique story. I started this practice with the intention to provide clients with access to all of the elements of therapy that have made such a difference to me in my own life. The only constant in life is change and change can be what you make of it! My personal testimony is that while healing can be long and arduous, it is well worth the effort to change your life from surviving to thriving.

I strive to facilitate insight, positive change, and growth for young adults and adults. In my work, I consider collaboration and the therapeutic relationship to be the foundation of change and healing. I help individuals overcome difficulties such as eating disorders, adjustment to college, grief & loss, and relationship concerns. I am currently offering in-person and online therapy (or teletherapy) to help make therapy accessible to as many people as possible. Online counseling is easy to access and just as effective as in-person therapy. Additionally, I am an approved supervisor for those in the state of Tennessee pursuing LPC/MHSP licensure.
