Find your therapist, in person

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.

On the surface, you're doing well: good job, decent relationships, semi-functioning adult. You're "fine." Internally, though? Your brain won't stop. It runs a constant loop of not good enough, what ifs, "did I say something weird during last Tuesday's dinner?", and "how many exclamation points in this email is too many?" You spend too much time rereading texts for hidden truths, contemplating how to write the "perfect" email, and doomscrolling when it all becomes too much. You've started to wonder- "Is this how life is supposed to be?" If this sounds like you, know that life does not need to feel this way. I help people just like you find out what okay actually feels like. I'm Rachel, a compassionate and down-to-earth therapist based in Nashville, TN.

I’m Melinda but feel free to call me Mindy. I’m a therapist who KNOWS there is hope. How do I know there's hope? When my children were very young, years of past trauma brought me to my knees. I couldn’t function any longer. I was no longer the loving wife and mom that I wanted to be. I couldn’t work, and people told me I was beyond help. But I beat the odds. I didn’t beat them through talking. I beat them through brain-based therapy that reached into my injuries and healed them. I know you can do it, too.

We all reach points where what used to work stops working. Many people come to therapy because something doesn’t feel quite right, even if they can’t name exactly what it is. Maybe you’re moving through your days on autopilot, feeling disconnected, or noticing patterns you can’t seem to change. Therapy is a place to slow down, understand your patterns, and reconnect with who you are and what you need. My goal is to help you uncover those things as you move toward feeling more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself and others, whether through self-acceptance or action-oriented growth. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure where to start, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you find your way forward.

Hello! I’m Gwen Pontikes, the dedicated therapist behind Therapy with Gwen, specializing in trauma and addiction. With experience in supporting clients facing mental health challenges and substance use disorders in residential settings, I bring a wealth of life experience to my therapy practice. My own journey through a childhood marked by addiction and codependence has shaped my approach to therapy. Having navigated my struggles with anxiety and depression, I’ve gained valuable insights into managing childhood dysfunction and overcoming unhealthy coping mechanisms. I also understand the complexities of supporting a loved one through addiction recovery, which inspired me to transition into a second career in counseling. Throughout my life, I have cared for my parents during their declining health and end-of-life issues, striving to balance my responsibilities to them, my spouse, my children, and myself in a healthy manner. The grief I faced from losing my parents has deepened my understanding of life’s emotional challenges, allowing me to offer compassionate support to my clients. I prioritize my own wellbeing as a therapist by seeking supervision and consultation, and I invest in my personal growth through therapy. This commitment helps me be the best therapist I can for my clients.

I'm a psychotherapist with over 30 years of clinical experience. My interest in this work began early, shaped by growing up in a codependent and emotionally complex family system. From a young age, I was drawn to understanding human behavior, emotional regulation, and the way people adapt to survive. Later, my professional path was deepen by my own lived experience of addiction and long-term recovery. With 38 years in recovery, I bring a grounded, compassionate, and non-patholigizing lens to the therapy process. This experience informed my deep respect for the nervous system, attachment patterns, and the intelligence of adaptive responses. My approach is relational, somatic, and experiential. I integrate nervous system based and parts – informed modalities to support healing that unfolds through safety, pacing, and attuned presence. I am particularly interested in helping people move beyond insight, alone toward embodied, change, integration, and renewed agency. I believe therapy works best when it honors both resilience and vulnerability, and when healing is approached as a collaborative process rather than something imposed.
