Hi, I'm Garrik. I have been a son, father, military officer, combat veteran, corporate director, student, and teacher. My passion is now as a psychotherapist and professor. I view my role as your therapist as applying all of my energy to helping you.

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.

Hi there! Welcome to Counseling by Camryn. I'm Camryn, I'm from California where I attended undergraduate and graduate school. I moved to Nashville in 2012 and now consider it home. I have been seeing clients for over 15 years. My goal is to meet you where you are and move at your pace. I am often told by clients they appreciate that I am a "human" and a therapist in session. I genuinely care about my clients and love to see them grow and find a more fulfilling approach to life. Everyone has a right to work towards achieving their greatest potential in a safe and comfortable environment. Come share your story in a judgement free environment. I hope you give yourself this opportunity today, as there is never a perfect time.

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.

My goal is to walk alongside you as you explore your story, heal from past wounds, and create new patterns for the future. I take a holistic approach to care, supporting the mind, body, and spirit, while working collaboratively with you at your pace. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, processing trauma, or seeking healthier relationships, I strive to provide a safe and supportive space where you can begin writing the next chapter of your life. I graduated from LeTourneau University in East Texas with a dual Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Counseling. After graduation, my husband and I moved to Middle Tennessee to start our new chapter. I desire to stand in the gap between hard places and life with my clients who may be struggling with trauma, anxiety, postpartum transition, or other mental health issues. I believe that our life experiences are not wasted and can be used for the good of ourselves and others.

I'm Bharati, a Doctor of Physical Therapy who believes healing happens when the body and mind are supported together. I provide compassionate, individualized care for people living with chronic pain, pelvic health concerns, and nervous system-related symptoms. My goal is to help you feel heard, regain confidence in your body, and move toward lasting health and well-being.

As a therapist for nearly a decade, I love helping couples, individuals, and teens navigate life's challenges and transitions. I'm a mother of two, a Nashville native, and a University of Georgia graduate. I've had the opportunity to live all over America and in Okinawa, Japan as my husband served in the Air Force. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, music, reading, hiking, and making memories with my family. I knew early in life that I wanted to be a counselor. I find my work deeply fulfilling and my commitment to helping others thrive is at the heart of what I do!

I am a Middle TN native, not quite native to Nashville but very close! I've lived in this region my entire life and completed my Bachelor's in Psychology from Middle Tennessee State University and my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Trevecca Nazarene University. I believe everyone deserves a space where you can show up 100% authentically as you, where you're free from judgement or criticism. This is the type of space I try to create in my office, because I truly believe that change occurs only when we are safe enough to let our guards down and be completely honest about where we are. I'm not afraid of your tears, hard stories, tragic losses, or any emotion you may be experiencing. You are not "too much," "too emotional," or "too messy" for me to sit with. I am honored to be a witness to your story and grateful to help you find comfort and regulation, whatever your story is. I am a lover of people, plants, fiber arts (knit, crochet, embroidery and cross stitch) and visual arts (especially watercolor painting and photography!). With that said, I also offer outdoor sessions for those wanting to ground in nature. We don't always have to meet inside; this can almost feel cruel to do on days that the weather is incredible! With Centennial Park right outside my office door, this gives us an easy opportunity to go outside on beautiful days.

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 help young adults who are struggling to set boundaries, engage in self-care, and feel drained from the way life is lifing start to feel more centered, confident, and connected with themselves. I'm here when you're ready.

Originally from Memphis, I have lived in Nashville for ten years and still find myself exploring new areas. I graduated from Lipscomb University with a Bachelor’s in Dietetics and went on to complete my dietetic internship there. I also received a Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics with a concentration in sports nutrition from Texas Tech University. When I’m not working, I enjoy baking, traveling, reading, hiking, and finding the yummiest bakeries in town! I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders and disordered eating, while also seeing clients for a number of other nutrition-related concerns (body image, chronic dieting, sports nutrition, diabetes management, meal support, and more). I currently provide nutrition-related therapy in-person and virtually through a private, secure network for adolescents (12+) and adults of all ages.

My name is Carly Stiver, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Trevecca Nazarene University. I am passionate about supporting individuals and couples who are willing to do the intentional work of understanding themselves and their relationships more deeply. My goal is to create a supportive and thoughtful space where clients can explore challenges, develop greater self-awareness, and move toward living more fulfilling lives and building more meaningful, connected relationships.

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.

If a part of you is feeling intimidated by therapy and another part is trying to talk yourself out of needing it, you’re in good company. Before becoming a therapist, I sat in the client’s chair—both in individual and couples therapy. I’ve experienced firsthand the courage it takes to find the right therapist, to risk vulnerability with a stranger, and to start an unfamiliar process. But the reality is, when you have the right clinician, therapy should be the place where you finally feel safe enough to meet yourself.

I treat clients who seek to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and how they relate to the world around them. Learn skills to help you build a life that aligns with your core values. Master relationships, and begin to flourish toward your personal and professional goals. I use a client-centered, strengths-based approach, to help clients realize their full potential, and to learn how to overcome stress and anxiety. I work with clients to promote positive change by establishing a therapeutic relationship built on trust, to encourage openness and honesty. Gain a better understanding of yourself, and work to improve relationships with your family, friends, and community. Reach out by phone or email to set up an appointment today. Begin your journey toward self-discovery and mastery by building skills that you can take with you for the rest of your life.

Since 2002, I have had the privilege of supporting people through some of life's most challenging, confusing, and unexpected moments. I began in case management and transitioned to clinical work in 2008. Over the years, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in various settings, including schools, hospitals, jails, and community mental health programs. I have witnessed a great deal and, more importantly, learned a lot about people, resilience, and what it truly takes to help someone heal. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, and a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology. However, my real-life experiences in the field shape my work just as much as my formal education does. My approach is fundamentally humanistic and existential, meaning I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you reconnect with that understanding. I am fully present in the room with you, curious about your inner world, and committed to meeting you exactly where you are.

​I have over thirty years of experience as a therapist, with a doctorate specializing in counseling psychology. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing a broad spectrum of disorders, from anxiety and depression to more extreme and complex conditions. ​

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life stressors. Many of the people I work with are feeling overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or trying to make sense of difficult experiences that continue to impact their daily lives. My approach is compassionate, practical, and grounded in evidence-based treatment. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported while also working toward meaningful change. I believe that healing happens when we are able to better understand our experiences, regulate our nervous system, and develop healthier ways of responding to stress, emotions, and relationships. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I often incorporate nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and trauma-informed strategies into our work together. Clients often tell me they appreciate having a therapist who is both supportive and direct. My goal is to help you gain insight, build practical skills, and move toward a life that feels more stable, connected, and aligned with your values.

Hi, I’m Jessica LeAnn Smith, MS, LPC-MHSP, AS, a licensed therapist and owner of Smith Behavioral Health & Wellness, LLC. I help clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, burnout, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate, trauma focused, culturally responsive, and rooted in the belief that healing happens when you feel safe, supported, and understood. I integrate evidence-based practices like CBT and mindfulness, along with Brainspotting and holistic wellness tools to support both emotional and nervous system healing. In our work together, you can expect a nonjudgmental space, practical tools you can use outside of sessions, and a therapist who will gently challenge you while honoring your pace. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more confident in how you move through life.
