Therapists in Franklin, TN

Therapy is more than talking about the past. It is a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere in which past hurts are resolved and healing takes place. Traumatic experiences can serve as blocks, preventing present and future peace.  At Wilkinson Family Therapy, we enjoy connecting with our clients as they travel along their journey. Through intentionality and training, we create a comfortable, supportive space for our clients to grow and process their experiences.

We specialize in sports performance, sports psychology and mental health for athletes. Regardless of the challenge you face, our role is to guide you toward a more fulfilling and satisfying life in and out of sport. We'll help you focus on what is most important to you and teach you how to overcome the barriers that get in your way (e.g. stress, anxiety, relationships, etc.). This will include helping you gain a deeper understanding of your concerns as well as teaching you specific skills and strategies you can use to manage the challenges you face, and ultimately move toward the goals you have in your life.

Do you find yourself exhausted as you try to navigate day to day life experiences perfectly? Or engaging in unhealthy coping skills to make it through the day? Or withdrawing from people you care about because you don’t feel connected? All the while trying to silence that inner voice that whispers-or yells-’not enough’? You may not know where these feelings come from or when you felt differently. You do know that you're ready for some relief. You're ready to gain a better understanding of yourself, be able to more skillfully engage in relationships, to practice healthy self-care, and ultimately interact kindly with yourself.

I am a Holistic Therapist meaning I treat mental health through the lens of the whole person: emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual. I offer experiences treating depression, trauma, anxiety, eating disorders and other mental health issues aiming to bring clients into their bodies and out of the mode of traditional talk therapy. These include psychodrama, sand tray, art, and yoga therapy. Wounding happens through living, relational, body-felt experiences and require similar experiences to heal. I create a safe container and relationship for the natural process of healing to occur. Expect to move, breath, and feel... we will not just sit and talk.

I am licensed in California, Tennessee, Oregon, and Colorado. I treat trauma and PTSD, and I have helped clients improve anxiety levels, self esteem, depression, relational issues, phobias, lack of a sense of life direction, sleep, greater self awareness, and more. Through teaching skills such as noticing and being with sensations, feelings, and thoughts, clients are able to notice the patterns that get us stuck.

If you are looking for a home for all of your mental health and wellness needs, you've found it. We are an innovative outpatient concept located in Franklin and Knoxville, TN that offers clinical modalities alongside holistic interventions to turn traditional addiction and mental health treatment into a whole-body healing experience. To support this, we offer our patients a relaxing and interactive environment, with modern spaces and enriching activities. We have teams of therapists, psychiatric medical providers, coaches, and peer recovery specialists who work together to make sure you get the tools you need to be well.

I work with clients who have mental health concerns (anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use concerns, etc) family concerns/relationship concerns, loss/grief concerns, and transition/adjustment concerns.

I am a seasoned licensed clinical social worker with Apex Recovery, deeply committed to supporting individuals facing trauma and substance use disorders through a holistic lens that incorporates fitness and wellness practices. In my practice, I believe in addressing mental health challenges from a comprehensive perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. That's why alongside traditional therapeutic approaches, I place a strong emphasis on integrating holistic and fitness-based interventions into our work together.

You don't have to be sick to get better. I believe that life is about finding purpose which leads to fulfillment and ultimately more frequent happiness. Being content with life is a skill it does not happen by luck. I want to help you identify ways in which you can simplify your life and achieve what you want whether it is overcoming an obstacle or doing something you've never done before. I believe that every person can be capable of anything with the right map. Let me help you identify what your map will be. I am licensed in TN and FL currently.

Life has taken you through many difficult paths, and you may be feeling discouraged, uncertain of where to turn. I help people who are feeling overwhelmed with life, with work or school, who recently have gone through a difficult break up, moved to a new city, had a baby, among other life transitions. Sometimes when life gets more difficult we turn to alcohol, substances or other unhealthy ways to “escape”. I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction issues, relationship issues and life transitions.

I recognize that the journey that brought you to therapy may not have been an easy one. I work to assist you in your self-exploration, learning, and growth by creating a safe, nurturing, respectful, yet challenging environment. I prioritize your autonomy and personal responsibility throughout the healing process.

Hello and welcome! A lack of empathy insight and judgement are markers for addictive behaviors that can rob of of the best that life offers. Through experiential therapy and concept driven counseling recovery is possible. Attaching your storyline will help you develop insights to boundary issues in your life. Communication skills added to this timeline will help you share your truth and become more vulnerable. I invite you to join me in this process.

Do you find yourself grappling with substance abuse, struggling to find balance, or experiencing anxiety and/or depression? I know the feeling all too well, and these issues are multifaceted, intertwined, and deeply personal. If you’re seeking relief from the weight of addiction or yearning for emotional stability and freedom from anxiety and depression's grip, let me help you. Let's go on a journey together to move towards inner peace and rekindle a sense of purpose.

My therapy is client focused. I see clients virtually in their homes, office, and any place they have privacy and WiFi. I ask them to share why they came for counseling and listen intently in the attempt to understand their problems and why they are seeking help. I ascertain if they are court ordered or if they came on their own. I conduct a short assessment to identify their problem (s) and focus on their issues. I assess the need for medication and recommend them when needed. I address relationship issues, mental health issues and/or addiction. I take insurance and credit cards. My PhD is in Counseling Psychology.

My work is focused primarily on supporting individuals cope with and recover from debilitating anxiety. I am passionate about working with individuals who have been previously hesitant towards or suspicious of therapy (been there!) as well as individuals who are currently in couples therapy and are seeking further individual support. Whether you are anywhere from a teenager with social anxiety to an older adult navigating the stressors of life transitions, it is my goal to hold a space for you to identify what is happening within you as you tell your story and identify pain points along the way.

Something isn’t working. Sometimes nothing works. You feel riddled with anxiety, felled by depression, overwhelmed by stress, or stuck in patterns of destructive behavior that leave you feeling hopeless that lasting change will ever take place.
