Lafayette, Tennessee sits north and east of Nashville. It was named after Marquis de Lafayette, a famous French General of the Revolutionary War. Early settlers were soldiers who received land grants in lieu of their service in war and the town’s been growing since. Today, Lafayette designs its services and programs around residents as a sign of continuous welcoming. Even with a close-knit community like Lafayette, you might feel listless and lost on some days.

Those types of feelings don’t need to linger for long, though. A good match of a mental health counselor is ready and waiting to work with you in the Lafayette area.

Welcome, I'm Dr. Green. I provide only individual virtual online therapy to women. This is a sacred space for women to empower, heal, and rise. As a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) since 2004, I've devoted my career to supporting women's wellness. My research expertise lies in the intricate lives of Black women, exploring the intersections of multiple roles and well-being. I am deeply committed to empowering Black women, recognizing the profound impact of intersecting systems of oppression, including racism, sexism, and other forms of marginalization, on their lives and well-being. I draw upon a trauma-informed care approach, integrating elements of: - Strengths-Based: Empowering your resilience and capabilities - Solution-Focused: Collaborating to achieve your goals - Rational-Emotive: Challenging negative thought patterns - Client-Centered: Honoring your autonomy and self-direction - Cognitive Behavioral: Reframing thoughts, feelings, and actions Together, we'll navigate life's complexities, fostering growth, resilience, and radiant well-being. This is a safe haven for women to share, discover, and thrive – mind, heart, and spirit.
