Brentwood Therapists specializing in Anxiety

Amanda Parsons

It’s my honor to work with members of marginalized populations, anyone who feels overlooked or unsafe because of the isms that permeate our culture.

Linda Huber

My clients tend to be neurologically diverse children, adolescents, and young adults. I specialize in autism, anxiety, and depression. In addition, I work with parents seeking psychological testing for Autism, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Mood Disorders. Intellectual Disability, and Intellectually Gifted. I also provide parents with consultation, coaching, and advocacy.

Beth Darby

Anxiety includes from panic, nervousness, fear or excessive generalized worry. Sometimes, anxiety is a learned response to feeling that the world is not a safe place. Sometimes, it is challenging to remember what triggered or even initiated feeling unsafe and anxious. Treatment includes developing coping skills as well as identifying what triggers and situations are producing to anxiety.

Hannah Merrell

Life throws curve balls that often knock us down and leave us blindsided–however, painful and difficult experiences do not have to define the essence of you as a person; rather those experiences can be a starting point to creating a more authentic, connected version of yourself. I have experience working with couples/relationship issues, families, children, adolescents, and adults.

Michele Ramey

Anxiety is very common. My anxiety knowledge includes the training I've used for about 9 years. I utilize CBT, Brainspotting, and Neurofeedback theories to treat it. Anxiety holds us back from achieving what we want to achieve because of panic attacks, automatic negative thoughts, distorted cognitions, etc. Utilizing the coping skills and going deeper in the parts of our brain where anxiety resides heals those symptoms.

Katie Larson

Anxiety is our way of telling us that we are out of control and we feel afraid. Deepening our understanding of the experience of anxiety often lessens its impact. Doing so can be scary and that is why I am here to partner with you in the process. I integrate EMDR with parts work to lessen anxiety's impact on your daily life and live more present in each day.

Hannah Pollok

Whether they are an individual or a couple - my clients all have unique needs. As a therapist, I strive to offer affirming, relational, culturally sensitive and client centered therapy to every one of them. I am honored to walk alongside you through the vulnerable and authentic therapeutic process as you learn, grow, and heal. I offer in-person and Telehealth services to individuals and couples in TN. I primarily work with: young adults, teens, queer folx, women of all ages and couples.

Tiffany Bankett

I enjoy helping clients on their journey of discovering their authentic self and how to implement self-care into their daily routine. I am particularly interested in working with clients dealing with anxiety, since anxiety manifests in many facets. My clients include adults and adolescents with busy lives experiencing anxiety, life transition, stress, PTSD, relationship distress, premarital guidance, and work (school)/life balance (self-care).

Whitney Shariati

I work with people who are navigating the tension between what feels most aligned with who they are & the pressures/expectations from external factors like family, communities, & society. Unfortunately, many people experience feelings of shame or confusion during this process, making it difficult to embrace their true selves (values, beliefs, identity, passions, preferences) & causing them to settle for a life that doesn’t reflect what’s truly important to them.

Kelsey Cardin

Children & Teens: Therapy doesn't have to feel scary or stigmatized. I know it's hard understanding trauma at a young age. I get it. I know you want to leave the past in the past and move forward, but may struggle with flashbacks, anxiety, depression, and self-worth. You can have the skills to cope with the events that have occurred. In my office, you will feel valued and comforted in knowing you have landed with a therapist who values who you truly are and recognizes your strengths.

Carrie Mikulka

Emotions can feel overwhelming, ruminating thoughts can be tiresome, and impulsive behavior can feel out of our control. I aim to help you cultivate curiosity to gain a deeper understanding of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to assist you in living the life you want to live. Whether you are exploring aspects of your identity, facing new life challenges, or unpacking old patterns of behavior, I would be honored to be a part of your story and help you heal.

Allie Shivener

I help clients understand anxious thought patterns and how we can get "stuck" in our anxious thought spirals. Then, I help my clients break those thought spirals so that they can be more in tune with what really matters!

Ashley Elmquist

Heather Hargis

I enjoy working with individuals and have experience with self-esteem, family of origin, life adjustment, and faith issues. Having spent 25 years involved with the Tennessee Girls State program, I am experienced in working with young women, as well as those in, or pursuing, a creative vocation.

Sheri Richardt

Anxiety is fairly common and absolutely treatable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often the first approach to bring quick relief. However, some individuals also benefit from a deeper look within to understand his or her symptoms. I have worked with generalized anxiety and individuals suffering from panic attacks.

ASHLEY PINEDA

Are you tired of feeling anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed more than they want to be? Life can be tough enough. At times people may think you have it all together even though you feel like a mess inside. Other times you may feel paralyzed by relatively small decisions. People may say you're too high strung, stressed, or intense. I want to get to know who you are and share realistic and do-able techniques to increase your sense of resilience, positivity, and well-being.

Sally Marciel

My clients tend to have heard they "should" have more gratitude, self care, courage, vulnerability, love, etc. but can't seem to make it happen. Most of them have been through something and lost their old spark, energy, health, hope, or even desire to be around people. No amount of Brené Brown, yoga, manifesting positive things, etc. has truly helped them deeply care and love again. They're burned out, politics and news are draining them, and they need some help coming back to life.

Hilary Dycus

You may be feeling overwhelmed with all of life's changes, expectations, and responsibilities. You don't feel like anyone really gets you, and you don't know yourself that well either. You have been working so hard to stay above water and look like you have it together. You have hit your breaking and do not want to feel this way anymore.

Chris Hancock

My clients come to learn to accept all 'parts' of themselves, and release what no longer serves. They are individualists, empaths, seekers, rebels with a cause. They're responsible consciousness explorers, spiritual and non-ordinary 'experiencers.' They are mind-body-spirit and energetically-aware, seekers of progressive and practical holistic healing. They're about raising their vibration and embodying their true purpose. Ultimately, they're after greater wholeness and integration.

Dean Ross

Life is full of uncertainties and things beyond our control. I want to work with you to help empower you as you navigate life’s obstacles. I believe that people know themselves best and for that reason I take a collaborative approach.
