Do you accept Insurance?

Yes! We are in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Meritain, Optum, Oscar, United Healthcare, and UMR. We have self-pay options as well if and can provide a Super-bill that you can submit to insurance for reimbursement.

We work with individuals starting ages 5 and up. We have expert therapists who work with children, teens, and adults. 

We do not work with couples, but our sister practice, Tennessee Mental Wellness, has wonderful Couples Therapists that provide couples therapy.

We got you! Give us a call at 615-732-2466 and we will help match you with a right fit therapist.

Your first appointment can be scheduled by calling our office at 615-732-2466, or by filling out the Contact Us form on our Contact page. Once you are a client, you can schedule subsequent appointments using the convenient Client Portal.

During your first session, your therapist will gather a history of your symptoms and issues, then together you will make a plan / set goals for how you would like your life to improve as a result of therapy. You should feel like your therapist “gets” you during that first sesssion, and you should feel a sense of hope that you are on the path to much brighter days ahead.

Most people begin to notice some improvement within the first few sessions, but meaningful, lasting change typically takes more time. For many concerns, we encourage clients to plan for around 20 sessions or more to fully explore patterns, develop new skills, and create sustainable progress. We recommend starting with weekly sessions, especially at the beginning, to build momentum and consistency. As you begin feeling better, sessions can often be spaced out over time.

Yes! We offer online appointments for ages 13+ throughout Tennessee
