Sexual Abuse Therapists in Nashville

Welcome. Wherever you find yourself on your path today, whether weary, seeking, unraveling, or ready for renewal,I am glad you are here! Therapy is not about being fixed, evaluated, or forced into someone else's idea of wellness. It is a collaborative homecoming. In our time together, I invite every layer of who you are into the room: your laughter, your grief, your protective armor, and the quiet longings you haven't yet found words for. There is no urgency here; we will always move at the organic, respectful pace of your own nervous system. Whether you are seeking support as an individual, with a partner, or as part of a larger relationship dynamic, it would be my honor to walk alongside you. Lived Humanity as My Foundation My clinical work is inseparable from my own lived journey toward wholeness. As a Black, cisgender, neurodistinct, queer, first-generation, multicultural individual, and a parent to both biological and adoptive children, I know what it means to navigate complex identities, family systems, and cultural thresholds. I do not sit across from you as an untouchable expert reciting textbooks. I have walked through the tender, disorienting terrain of deep personal transformation myself. That lived reality informs the profound empathy, humility, and cultural reverence I bring to every session.

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.

With almost twenty years as a therapist, and having completed training in attachment science, addiction and trauma, I offer clients a safe and judgment free space to work on their concerns. My undergraduate degree is in Social Work and Psychology. My graduate degree is a Master of Marriage and Family Therapy. I also value my life experiences as a human, woman, wife, mother and grandmother, in no particular order.

I have been working in the mental health field for over ten years in multiple settings. I obtain licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor with Mental Health Service Provider designation in the state of Tennessee, along with being an out-of-state Telehealth Licensed Mental Health Counselor for the state of Florida. I also hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialty in play therapy and expressive arts, along with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I have completed numerous specialized trainings, including EMDR, Brainspotting, Trauma Professional training, Anxiety-Informed Professional training, and Perinatal Mental Health training through Postpartum Support International. My journey of work through the mental health field has guided me to various opportunities throughout the years. I founded and direct a non-profit that works with children with different abilities and their families that utilizes equine, art, theatre, and music therapies and activities. I have experience as a Behavior Therapist for children on the spectrum, have worked at a psychiatric rehabilitation home for adults recovering from severe mental illness, and have volunteered my skills in numerous healthcare settings, on top of providing individual therapy for a variety of ages in the Nashville area. I also have a heart for and heightened experience working within the entertainment business and with those that are involved in the entertainment business.

I have worked as a counselor in the Nashville area for 20 years with individuals struggling with the effects of trauma, couples in crisis, and families struggling to connect. One of my favorite things about working with clients is the gift of watching the tragedies of life become resilience, character, and hope. I consider it an honor and a privilege to help you find your way out of that dark place and journey to a place of hope.

I believe that each individual is special and unique. Therefore my therapeutic technique is tailored to best serve my client's personal needs. I utilize a holistic approach to therapy, which considers the entire human being and collective life experiences. This method includes physical and spiritual contexts as well as mental well being. I am licensed in the states of TN and IL, and offer both in person and virtual therapy sessions. I’ve been practicing since 2011 and my areas of specialty are grief, trauma and loss, depression and anxiety, substance abuse, women’s issues, and helping those in a transitional phase of life. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your personal journey.

Folks, I'm a therapist who hates therapy culture. I don't speak psychobabble, and I don't see you through the lens of a diagnosis that needs to be treated. I see you as a human being who needs to be heard and healed. People generally come to see me and the therapists in my practice when they're ready to change and face the root causes of what is keeping them stuck or in pain. I treat your history like the story of your life, because that is, in fact, what it is. Every relationship, decision, and trajectory you've lived is telling the story of who you are, what matters to you, and what you actually value. That is where we start. Then we ask: what is in conflict? What do you value that you have not lived out? What do you truly desire, is that healthy for you, and what has kept you from experiencing it? Then, we tackle the stuck places. The entrenched beliefs. The behavioral habits. The trauma that may need to be processed so that whoever you truly are can emerge. What we're doing is facing reality: what really happened and who you became as a result. That has to be faced. And we're embracing humanity: we're seeing your choices through the lens of being a human being who was trying to meet their own needs every step of the way. You are not a diagnosis. You're a human being. We start there.

Hello, I'm Sarah Fowler, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of The Art of Healing Therapy. I work with teens, adults, and couples navigating trauma, relationship challenges, grief, anxiety, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs because therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. I integrate EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic techniques, experiential therapies, and The Gottman Method when they support your goals. During our first 90-minute session, we'll get to know one another, explore what brought you to therapy, and begin identifying where you'd like to go. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you—you don't need to have everything figured out or share your entire story in one session. My hope is that you'll leave feeling understood, with a clearer sense of how we can work together and at least one practical tool or insight to support you between sessions.

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.

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.

Welcome! I’m Susan Martin, a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified neuropsychotherapist with advanced training in trauma-informed, brain-based therapy. I work with adults who appear “high-functioning” on the outside yet feel chronically overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, anxious, or exhausted on the inside. Many of my clients are professionals, caregivers, or helpers who have spent years pushing through stress, performing well, and taking care of others—often at the expense of themselves. My background includes extensive experience treating trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and relational wounds. I specialize in working with clients who understand their struggles intellectually but feel stuck when it comes to emotional relief or lasting change. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and paced uniquely to your nervous system. Clients often describe my style as grounding, attuned, and practical. I value creating a space where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or “have it all together.” Together, we focus on helping your body and brain feel safer so healing can happen naturally and sustainably.

Melissa Rabell, MS, LMHC, CCTP is a licensed mental health counselor, trauma therapist, and founder of Reinventing Hope Counseling. She works with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, self-worth struggles, grief, relationship challenges, and the lasting impact of childhood and complex trauma. Melissa’s work is rooted in an integrative, trauma-informed, mind-body approach that emphasizes nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, and compassionate self-understanding. She believes healing begins when people feel safe enough to slow down, listen inward, and honor the patterns that once helped them survive while gently learning new ways to live, connect, and choose themselves. With experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, Melissa brings both clinical expertise and deep attunement into her work. Clients often describe her presence as grounding, warm, and steady. She creates space for people to feel seen without being rushed, fixed, or judged, and supports them in building trust with themselves and their bodies. Melissa is also the host of the Reinventing Hope podcast, where she offers accessible mental health education, trauma-informed insight, and honest conversations about healing and growth. She serves clients in Florida and Tennessee and leads Reinventing Hope Counseling with the belief that healing is not about changing who you are, but about returning to yourself and learning what you need to live a more fulfilling, connected life.
