Meet Us

We’re a small, values-driven practice that helps people navigate the deeper work of healing with curiosity, respect, and the tools that actually fit.

We specialize in working with neurodivergent adults and teens, people in addiction recovery, and those living with trauma or OCD. We know that healing looks different for every brain, and we’re not here to “fix” you. Instead, we meet you where you are. We offer therapy that’s affirming, practical, and grounded in what actually helps.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care.

That’s why we each bring our own focused expertise:

“Self-care is making the choice to build a life that you do not regularly need to escape from.”

-Brianna West

I have a firmly held belief that everyone deserves to not just survive life, but fully participate in it. One of the most important factors of success in therapy is your relationship with the counselor. It is a big reason why finding a counselor who is a "good fit" is an important decision. That important decision can seem paralyzing but know that I am here to walk alongside you in any way that I can as you build the life that you want. As a counselor, my commitment is to provide a safe and empathetic space where you can explore your challenges, discover your strengths, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth in the pursuit of a life that you do not need to regularly escape from.

Originally from Atlanta, I moved to Nashville to start my practice in 2019. I graduated from Wheaton College with an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and from Kennesaw State University with a B.S. in Psychology. I am licensed to practice counseling in the state of Tennessee both virtually and in person as an LPC-MHSP. I am also a member of the Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselors Association (TLPCA).

I have worked in various therapeutic settings including hospitals, schools, in-home services, and private practice. My belief is that at its core, counseling is about relationships. I am amazed by the beauty that is created when one is given the space to rest, be, and feel safe and valued. You have a voice in your life and a say in the steps you take, and my hope is that you can hear that voice more clearly than before. Broadly defined, my sessions are typically a combination of processing deeply while simultaneously equipping you with the skills to manage life in the present. My hope is that you are given the tools in counseling to be able to live life currently, to feel at peace with life in the past, and to more confidently walk through life in the future.

In the words of my favorite actor from my favorite movie, “Your future hasn’t been written yet. No one’s has! Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one!” - Doc Brown
