Ace Glaspy
Hello, and welcome to my corner of BetterHelp. My name is Ace Glaspy, and I am a licensed mental health counselor in Tennessee. I have had the esteemed opportunity to work in the mental health field for over 17 years with individuals from various walks of life, backgrounds, and cultures. Since becoming a counselor, I have strived to help others shine a light on the roots of their struggles, and write the life story they want to live. Life can be challenging and overwhelming, and I believe we are all trying to find our purpose and place in this world. As a counselor, I believe my clients are the authors of their stories and want to help them write it. When not walking alongside my clients in their journey, I can often be found reading a good book (I am a little bit of a fantasy nut), playing with my kids (the lights in my life that overcome all kinds of darkness), or trying to write one of the many books I have flapping around in my head. Using integrative counseling, I utilize various, evidence and scientifically based methods such as Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, and more to help my clients overcome their past and turn complex situations and decisions into a manageable journey. Life can be hard, but I truly believe anyone can find joy and contentment along their path. My schedule is as follows, with some variation depending on other circumstances: I am in my virtual office Mon, Tues, Sat and Sun. On those days, you can expect responses within a brief time period (sometimes immediately, depending on what I am doing) or in between other clients. Tuesday evening and Wed-Fri, I spend time with my family, and may respond, but it will most likely have time in between responses that I can't really identify surety. But I will respond within 6-8 hours most of the time, even on those days.

Anna Owens
Greetings! I am a trauma-informed and evidence-based licensed professional psychotherapist and mental health service provider across the lifespan for over 11 years. I'm also a nurse practitioner. Recently, I decided I wanted more of a work/life balance, which led me to Betterhelp. I work with adults, couples and adolescents and am experienced in an array of issues and modalities that are personalized for each client. I am also a specialist in narcissistic abuse and navigating toxic relationships. You are the expert of your story and I'll partner with you to help navigate and hold the space. In therapy, you will gain inner strength, learn new coping mechanisms and develop tools to navigate your life. You'll have to do some sitting with uncomfortable feelings, taking inventory of where you are and where you'd like to be, and facing difficult 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 fun and challenging 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 identify the emotions, situations, relationships and experiences 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 in the beginning is having the empathy, guidance, and support you need to overcome. The goal is never just to resolve, but to use the resolution phase to grow. 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, please reach out!

Find a therapist near you in Jamestown, Tennessee
Finding a therapist near you in Jamestown, Tennessee starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Tennessee is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Tennessee, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Tennessee, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
