Dr. Heide Schlack
Hello! I wish you well on your counseling journey. I am a licensed psychologist in the Middle Tennessee area and have been in the field of mental health for over 30 years. I see counseling as a partnership where I am a consultant. Everyone gets stuck at times. It can be very helpful to tell our stories to trusted others to work through our concerns. Family and friends can be helpful, and sometimes a trained counselor can offer unbiased, positive support. I often feel like an interviewer asking specific questions in a curious and non-accusing manner. You are the focus of my hour, and I want to learn as much about your story as I can. I also want to know where you want to take your story. Humor, curiosity, self-kindness, creativity and increased self-awareness (mindfulness) help in the process. Clients who do well are willing to entertain different perspectives of themselves and of their situations. New behaviors can be learned with practice. Sometimes what we mainly need to do is accept things we cannot change and let go of constricting beliefs and "rules" for ourselves. Sometimes our daily patterns are disconnected from our feelings and values. I try to help people gain more awareness of their feelings, life dreams and what is truly important to them. I offer systematic ways of exploring these issues and making plans to sort of knit together more coherently one's thoughts and feelings, past and present, and habits and values. We have self-healing capacities within ourselves that I try to facilitate and not get in the way of! I use strategies from cognitive-behavioral-mindfulness therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, narrative therapy and trauma-informed therapy. Exploring our past interpersonal patterns can help us redirect our social behaviors to more satisfying relationships. Sometimes I might act more like a coach to help you spring forward from the present. I love working with ADD/ADHD clients. Dealing with my own ADD, I know intimately the challenges, struggles and even the upsides of ADD! Finding creative, ADD-informed ways to manage our space and time is something I often do with clients. Other frequent issues are depression, anxiety, social anxiety , lack of motivation, self-doubt, communication and relationship issues, sleep and weight, work issues, trauma and loss. I am also comfortable working with the LGBQ+ populations, transgender dysphoria and clients in polyamorous relationships. I look forward to meeting new clients and do not take personally decisions not to return. There are a number of reasons for client choices. Like most relationships, including work colleagues, we look for compatibility. And sometimes we glean things from one-time meetings.

Anna Owens
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!
