AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Therapy is not about "fixing" people. Therapy is about walking alongside people.

How I do therapy

DISCOVER

I work to create a safe place where you can feel your feelings, go to those dark nights of the soul places, and let it out. As we feel our feelings, we find our way back to ourselves. Or maybe you need to form the self you were never allowed to have.

Overcoming Hurdles

The hardest step will be sending the first email or text. The process can be hard and painful, but maybe for the first time in your life you will have a co-journeyer in the struggle with you.

Establishing a Routine

Therapy works best with the rhythm and traction weekly meetings provide. I recommend at the beginning of the process having weekly 50-minute sessions.

Healing & Transforming

In just a few weeks, most clients will look over their shoulders and realize they are already doing things differently and can see changes in their daily lives.

What my clients say

“Nobody wants to go to therapy... until they go to therapy with Jennifer. I ran from help and from myself for years, and like so many I reached a point where I couldn't anymore."

– 67 YEAR OLD FEMALE

“Jennifer showed me on the very first day how to hold the tension of both–feeling skeptical and willing. She let me feel anything and everything.... It's why I keep showing up.”

– 30 YEAR OLD FEMALE

"Jennifer's input, candor, questions and guidance has opened the door of my heart through my own story and she has given me a gift that is priceless."

- 38 YEAR OLD FEMALE

FEELS LIKE HOME

MY PRACTICE

When I designed my office space, my vision was to provide an inviting refuge in which the atmosphere would be warm and safe. Almost like you’re home. Before and after a session, you are welcome to grab a hot beverage, flip through a magazine, and rest on the couch.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

My fee for a therapy session is $180. Each session is a 50-minute therapeutic hour.

What types of payments do you accept?

I accept venmo, cash, check, credit card, and hsa card.

Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept insurance. However, I can provide a receipt for your insurance company.

*Keep in mind that filing a claim is the client’s responsibility.*

What is the best way to schedule a session?

As I'm not able to answer my phone most of the work day, send me a text at (615) 500-4416 to get things started.

How far in advance can I schedule?

I highly recommend that weekly standing appointments be booked on a monthly basis to maintain therapeutic consistency. If you have schedule restraints, I will work with you to schedule your next weekly appointment at the end of each session. It is the client’s responsibility to schedule the next appointment.

What are your office hours?

Monday – off
Tuesday – 9:00 am – 2:00 pm
Wednesday – 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
Thursday – 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Friday – 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

*I’m available on the weekend for intensives, speaking engagements, or interventions.*

What if I need to cancel my appointment?

If you are not able to keep your appointment, I require a 24-hour notice. If this is not possible, you will be charged the regular session fee. Sickness and emergencies are exempted at my discretion.

*I often have a waiting list for the week and if I have reserved a spot for you, I have likely turned other people away for that spot. Thus, the necessity of my cancellation policy.

What books do you recommend?

The Voice of the Heart by Chip Dodd
The Wounded Heart by Dan Allender

In a crisis, what should I do?

Persons in crisis should call the Mobile Crisis line at 615-726-0125, or The Crisis Line (Family and Children’s Service) at 615-244-7444. Free 24/7 telephone counseling; and language translation services are available.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255.

If you or someone you love is in crisis and needs immediate help, contact your local ER. Most inpatient mental health resources will require an ER referral, so any local ER is a good place to start.

If a loved one is local or out-of-town and you are concerned they are a threat to themselves or threat to others, the most loving thing to do is call the local authorities and have them conduct a “welfare check” on your loved one.

Do you have resources for kids?

My list of personally recommended therapists, programs, and psychiatrists serving children in the Nashville area is available upon request.

Can you prescribe medicine?

I am very open to talking with you about the possibility of using medication. I can share my personal and professional experiences. However, only a psychiatrist or your personal care provider can prescribe medicine.

My list of personally recommended psychiatrists in the Nashville area is available upon request.

Are you accepting new clients?

Sometimes I'm not able to take new clients. Reach out first by filling out a form or texting me. If I can't assist you, I can provide a list of Nashville therapists I know personally or have heard good things about them.
