About Me

I believe that you have the ability to achieve fulfilling life goals and to make healthy life choices for yourself. As a mental health therapist, my job is to simply be the tool to assist you in the decision-making process and to achieve those goals. I have experience in both the inpatient and outpatient settings – treating a variety of issues for teens and adults.

While I have treated a plethora of cases, my specialties include: impulse control disorders, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and sexual behaviors & issues. I draw from a variety of therapies to meet each client’s unique needs – such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and more.

I will work with you to create and achieve goals that are important to you – all while remaining compassionate and nonjudgmental. I am currently scheduling clients for both weekday and weekend appointments. I look forward to hearing from you.

When he’s not in session, Kevin enjoys traveling, playing the guitar, and watching his favorite sports teams.

About Me

My philosophy about therapy is that when you meet a client where they are, they can achieve every and any goal they could possibly think of. My experience across various levels of care allows me to help you navigate through unchartered waters and to be with you throughout the journey. In fact, it’ll be my honor to do so.

My style is best described as empathic, person-centered, goal-oriented, and filled with humor. I have treated a variety of cases and can effectively do so. However, my specialties include anxiety, depression, trauma, and disordered eating. My therapy is eclectic, but I mainly pull from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I am currently scheduling cases for both weekday & weekend appointments. I also look forward to hearing from you.

Outside of therapy, Emily enjoys spending time with her two dogs, cooking, and exploring the mountains.

Willie Lemusu, PMHNP-BC

Nashville

About Me

I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 6+ years of experience in mental health. I have experience working in the Emergency Room, Psychiatric Hospital, Alcohol & Drug Rehab units, Geriatric Psych Units, Community Clinics, and Psychiatric Home Health allowing me to provide care that keeps into consideration what happens before, during, and after a mental health crisis.

 

I am American-Samoan and was born in California. I grew up in Southern California and spent time in Central Florida. As a Veteran of the U.S. Army, I have moved around quite a bit and my combat tours helped shed light on the importance of mental health within the Veteran population. I am the father of two boys who remind me every day how proud I am to be their father.

 

When I’m not in the office I like to read, play video games, hangout with family and friends, play with my dogs, watch movies, or travel.

About Me

What I enjoy most about being a Therapist as well as a Certified Professional Coach is collaborating with my clients to identify what is holding them back as well as co-creating a plan to help them progress so that they can reach whatever goals they are trying to achieve. Using a combination of CBT, REBT and Motivational Interviewing, we work through the past, move through roadblocks, and identify any thoughts & behaviors that are not serving them, their relationships, or their future selves. We will also focus on how to communicate effectively, how to develop higher emotional intelligence, and how to create healthy boundaries. As a 20 year former veteran of the music and entertainment business, I work with a variety of clients (including the Nashville Music Industry) as well as anyone who is struggling with issues such as: Depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and some who just feel stuck in their current lives. Watching people navigate difficult seasons and growing into better, happier versions of themselves makes this work my life’s passion. I am currently scheduling clients during the week and on Saturdays both virtually and in our Nashville office.

 

I am highly social and love to have fun. You are likely to find me on a trail with my dog, on a pickle ball court, at the newest Nashville restaurant, somewhere listening to live music, or hanging with my friends and their kids! I believe having hobbies and a close community of people is the key to a fulfilling life. I also like to volunteer and hope to find more time to partner with local organizations in the near future.

Courtney Sanchez, LMSW

About Me

My passion involves helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of life. As an Air Force veteran, I bring a unique perspective to my practice, allowing me to connect with a diverse range of people.  My military experience enriches my appreciation for unique human experiences, and I am committed to inclusivity, supporting women’s rights, the LGBTQ+ community, and equity across all races.  I strive to create an environment where everyone feels heard, respected, and valued.

As a therapist, I embrace a humanistic, emotional, and attachment-based approach, incorporating modalities such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and others to effectively support clients in achieving their goals. I place a high value on understanding the emotional bonds and relationships that shape our lives.  My focus lies in harnessing the transformative power of confronting one’s truth for personal growth, fostering genuine connections and collaborative exploration to deepen self-understanding.  I am currently available for scheduling with individuals and couples, offering sessions both virtually and at our Nashville office throughout the week.

About Me

My therapeutic approach is humanistic, empathetic, and client centered – utilizing a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI),  I believe that you, the client, are the expert of your unique life experience and that my job as your therapist is to walk alongside you in providing the tools that can help you reach your specific life goals. My passion involves working with child and adolescent clients as well as young adult women to navigate a wide range of life’s challenges. Within my widespread background working in ABA Therapy, Foster Care, and now as a School Counselor I’ve gained a strong framework for working with clients of multiple backgrounds. I strive to make each client feel valued and accepted regardless of religious, racial, gender identity, or socioeconomic background.

Hey there! I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker with a passion for helping people navigate life’s ups and downs. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology (with a minor in Political Science) and my Master of Social Work from Tennessee State University. My approach to therapy is all about meeting you where you are. I pull from a mix of different techniques like Psychoanalytic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution Focused Therapy, Schema Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care. I’m experienced in working with folks dealing with anxiety, major depression, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and more.

 

I love working with people of all ages – from teenagers to adults – and I’m comfortable working with individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to build a relationship with you that makes you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I’m all about making mental health care feel normal and accessible. I believe we all need a little help sometimes, and there’s no shame in asking for support. I’m here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to be yourself and work through your challenges.

 

I feel like this is what I was meant to do – help people find balance and move forward, one session at a time. I’m all about helping you find your “normal” and giving you the tools to keep things steady when life gets rocky. I’m a caring and understanding therapist who gets how families and relationships can impact our well-being. I’m excited to walk this journey with you and support you in any way I can. Let’s do this!
