about our therapists

My clients are adult individuals struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, and chronic stress. They often seek therapy because they feel trapped by high standards and perfectionism, and long to live with more freedom and joy. They berate themselves for not being good enough and find it difficult to connect vulnerably with others. Through therapy, my clients learn to understand and accept their feelings, prioritize self-care without guilt, and heal old wounds. They become free to be their authentic selves and live a life aligned with their values.

I utilize a person-centered approach to meet my clients with warmth and compassion, while incorporating DBT, EMDR, and IFS therapy techniques. I am available for in-person sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and virtual sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9 AM to 5 PM. For information about insurance and fees, please visit my website saraahmedcounseling.com or contact me at sara@saraahmedcounseling.com.

I provide counseling and coaching to female teens and adults living with depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, relationship problems, self-esteem issues, major life transitions and maladaptive coping.

My philosophy is that mental health and physical health are irrevocably connected—poor mental health can lead to poor physical health and harmful behaviors. Depression has been linked to many chronic illnesses. I take a holistic approach to therapy and discuss physical health/fitness and nutrition; emotional resilience; positive social connections; intellectual stimulation and spiritual fulfilment.

It’s hard to live life to the fullest sometimes when we get stuck in our thinking, feel overwhelmed and become our own worst enemy. I strive to make sure my clients have the information and tools they need to improve their quality of life by employing a variety of interventions and techniques—and sometimes even humor!

I am a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider. I also employ hypnotherapy where appropriate.  You can contact me at Teresa@tqcounseling.com or 615-414-2547. I am ready to get started when you are!

My clients are couples.   

Are you and your partner feeling stuck in a rut? Do you wish you could communicate better, trust more, and reconnect with each other? Do you want to reignite the spark that brought you together in the first place?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might benefit from relationship counseling with me. I am Rhonda Johnson, a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in helping couples of all ages, orientations, and genders overcome their challenges and achieve their goals.

I specialize in working with couples who are dealing with issues such as:

• Trust and intimacy
• Communication and conflict resolution
• Affair recovery and relationship repair
• Lack of passion and sexual satisfaction
• Life transitions and stressors

I use evidence-based approaches such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Method, and Imago Relationship Therapy to help you and your partner understand each other better, heal from past hurts, and create a stronger bond.

I do not bill insurance for relationship counseling, but I offer affordable packages that reduce the cost of therapy. You can choose from different options depending on your needs and preferences.

 My clients are high-functioning Christian women who appear strong and capable but feel internally exhausted from constantly carrying responsibility. They often struggle with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, and difficulty prioritizing themselves without guilt. Many feel disconnected from their identity outside of what they do and long to live with more peace, confidence, and clarity. Through therapy, my clients learn to release performance-based pressure, build healthy boundaries, and reconnect with who they are so they can live in alignment with their values, identity, and faith..

 I take a clinically grounded, spiritually rooted approach, integrating evidence-based practices such as Brainspotting, cognitive reframing, and strengths-based therapy. I help clients understand and process patterns at their core while also supporting identity development and emotional regulation in a way that honors both mental health and spiritual growth.

I am available for in-person sessions in Murfreesboro and offer virtual sessions across Tennessee, with current midday availability on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. For more information or to schedule, please visit my website at rootedandresilientyou.com or contact me at ayanaboyd@rootedandresilientyou.com or 615-601-2091.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been serving individuals and families throughout Middle Tennessee since 2009. I work with adults and couples experiencing a wide range of concerns, with particular experience in mood disorders, personality disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

My approach to therapy is practical, collaborative, and solutions-focused. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based approaches to help clients better understand the patterns influencing their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behaviors. Rather than focusing only on what is wrong, I work with clients to identify what can change and develop realistic strategies for moving forward.

Above all, I strive to provide a genuinely judgment-free space. Therapy should be a place where you can talk openly about the things you may not feel comfortable saying anywhere else—without worrying about being judged, criticized, or having to filter yourself. My role is to help you understand what is happening, explore different perspectives, and find solutions that make sense for your life.
