ABOUT ME Hi, my name is Dawn Brown. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Board Certified Counselor and have been working in my field for more than 25 years. The bulk of my career was spent with people struggling to find themselves or may need a path to (re)discover their capabilities. This may be due to issues involving depression, anxiety or trauma. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families, as well with people over a wide array of ages. I find that there is such a pre-conceived notion about those who may need to reach out to a mental health care professional that I look to put clients at ease. Whether the situation involves family, depression, relationships, grief, anger, work,, etc. As a result, I believe in using a solution-focused approach, which allows us to quickly get to the root of the presenting problem. Cognitive behavioral therapy or more simply, how we think impacts how we behave, is what I most often use. As every situation and individual is unique, I also have other methods to assist in evaluating and exploring obstacles. Most recently, I worked on a military installation providing counseling to soldiers and their families. I spent many years in a brick and mortar private practice, but now welcome and look forward to the opportunity to help those who may be less comfortable in an office setting. I offer phone and video sessions only. I earned my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Lindenwood University (St. Charles, MO), have earned a certification in Telemental Health Counseling and Supervision and have a certification in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. SPECIALTIES • Stress & Anxiety • Relationships • Trauma & Abuse • Depression I also have experience in Family, Grief, Intimacy-related, Sleeping difficulties, Anger, Self-esteem and more

I consider it my life's work to help heal broken hearts. I am a counselor licensed in North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky with over 15 years of experience working as a Cognitive Behavioral Counselor and Life Coach helping those that are hurting to heal. I have worked with clients from all walks of life (including veterans) with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, anger management and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced emotional, relational and intimate relationship trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is relationship centered, warm and interactive. The process of counseling is truly about gaining or regaining hope, healing and growth. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will assist you to tailor our dialog and to develop goals and a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to heal and having a relationship with someone you trust has proven to be effective when seeking a more fulfilling and happier life. So as you take the first steps towards a change, if you are ready to take that step and willing to do your work, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Hello! My name is Alexander Haney and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Specialist and training in evidence-based practices. I primarily use Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Exposure Response Prevention which focus on the unique needs of the individual. During my 5 years of experience, I have specialized experience in several areas including depression, OCD/anxiety, stress, and couples counseling. I enjoy working with individuals who are new to the therapy process and who are willing to work toward goals. Please consider, this process is NOT a one-off session - it is a course of treatment whereby you need to be committed to change and healing towards a happy more grounded and integrated future. Therapy is something you engage in, not something you receive and while like most things in life that are incredibly difficult to do, they tend to be the most fulfilling. My hope is that by the time you have gone through this process, you will have a really clear understanding of exactly who you are, what your struggles are, what you need and what you want while becoming empowered to go out and build a brilliant life worth living. Whilst integrated therapy works far quicker than long term analysis or counselling, I can offer both long-term and short-term therapy depending on your preferences and needs. Some clients like to continue therapy for a long time to continue investing in themselves and their own personal development. Whereas others work on their current issues for a time, then drop down to less frequent sessions, or simply return as and when needed. I consider what I do to be a tremendous honor and privilege to be apart of your journey forward, wherever that may be. Talk with you shortly! Alex

Reaching out for therapy can be one of the hardest steps to take, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 12 years of experience working with people from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences. I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and challenges within interpersonal relationships. My training includes a concentration in couples and family work, which gives me a strong foundation for understanding how our relationships and environments shape us. Whether you're coming in as an individual or working through relationship dynamics, I focus on helping you understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and building tools to move forward. My approach to therapy is collaborative and down-to-earth. I tend to take a “team” approach—getting in the trenches with you as we work through the difficult stuff together. I primarily draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but I believe therapy works best when it’s organic and tailored to each person rather than forced into a rigid framework. You can expect our work together to be supportive, honest, and practical. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable exploring what’s going on and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.

Greetings! I am a trauma-informed, evidence-based, multi-modal, culturally aware, licensed professional psychotherapist and mental health service provider across the lifespan for over 14 years. I'm also a psychiatric nurse practitioner(be), family nurse practitioner(c) and mental health coaching for Tennessee and beyond. Prior to going back to graduate school, I had a 10 year career as a professional musician. These varied experiences have contributed to creating individualized approaches for each client. Recently, I decided I wanted a bit more of a work/life balance, which led me to Betterhelp. My approach is a bit different, I'm not just an active listener or reflector, I am willing to get in the trenches with you and dialogue. I'm also not afraid to self-disclose pieces of my experiences if I think it will contribute to your healing process. I'm a specialist in narcissistic victim syndrome, addiction, and conduct expert assessments for the judicial system. As a generalist, I work with mood, anxiety, and personality difficulties. I also work with individuals, couples, and families. Therapy is a purpose work for me and I'm invested in every client. You are the expert of your story and throughout therapy, we'll partner to tackle the most acute difficulties first. You'll gain inner strength, learn new coping mechanisms and develop tools to navigate your life. Most growth begins in the dark, and you'll have to do some serious soul-searching, considering, sitting with uncomfortable feelings, and facing difficult situations, thoughts and emotions. Therapy isn't for the faint of heart. A safe, non-judgmental environment is imperative. Once this process begins, you'll most likely find therapy exciting as we work together to curate your life. Curating uses the garden analogy. It can solely apply to your inner-world, but it's usually a reflection of your life as a whole. We continue pulling up and out the emotions, thoughts, situations, people, places, or things that no longer serve you. It's about gaining inner self worth, setting boundaries, pouring into yourself, and evolving. The exceptional thing about curating is that together, we will open up new space in your life for yourself or for new experiences to grow. The most important thing during the beginning is having the empathy, guidance, and support you need to overcome. As your therapist, the goal is never just to resolve, but to use the resolution phase to go beyond and curate the life experience you've truly wanted. Since I am just getting started with better help, I have plenty of spots and will try my best to provide flexible hours to compliment your schedule! In my opinion, there are no coincidences. If you landed on my page, and you're still here, there's a reason! I realize how difficult this first step is but you did it, and that speaks volumes. I would love to partner with you to help navigate through life's difficulties no matter what it is at the time, and together, you will heal and create the life you've truly wanted!
