Rachel J Fischer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
It can be hard to manage feelings that come up towards your partner, and you may find yourself feeling alone and unable to talk to others about your concerns. You may notice that you are attracted to similar types of partners, or that you have similar feelings/behaviors in relationships. Using an insight-oriented ("psychodynamic") and relational approach to therapy, I provide a warm and nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts/feelings/experiences, and to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships so that you can embrace a more fulfilling life. Please note that I only meet one-on-one with individuals to talk about their relationship issues, and don't do couples therapy.

Relationships & Couples Therapy: The Courage to Connect
Moving from Conflict Loops to Secure Attachment
Relationships are the primary "systems" we inhabit, and when they are in distress, every other part of our lives—our work, our health, and our parenting—feels the impact. With over 20 years of experience and specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples move beyond the surface-level "who said what" to address the deeper attachment needs that drive your conflict.
Deconstructing the "Cycle"
Most couples find themselves stuck in a "negative dance" where one partner pursues and the other withdraws. We work together to identify:
The Pursuit-Withdraw Loop: Understanding how your partner's shut down might be a survival strategy for overwhelm, and how your "pushing" might be a desperate bid for connection.
Rejection Sensitivity & Attachment Trauma: Addressing how past wounds and childhood attachments "show up" in your current arguments.
The Impact of External Systems: Using Systems Theory to explore how social constructs of power, gender roles, and even spiritual expectations influence your dynamic.
A Specialized Clinical Framework
I offer a sophisticated, research-backed path to relational repair:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Considered the "gold standard" for couples, EFT helps you de-escalate conflict and create a "secure base" where you both feel seen, safe, and valued.
Discernment Counseling: For couples on the brink of divorce or separation who aren't sure if they want to repair or uncouple. I provide a structured, neutral space to gain clarity.
Intensive Repair for High-Conflict: Integrating EMDR to process individual traumas that are leaking into the relationship and fueling chronic volatility or burnout.
For the "Professional" Couple
I have a "special love" for working with healers, pastors, and therapists in relationship. I understand the unique burden of maintaining a "public image" of a healthy marriage while struggling in private. I provide a confidential sanctuary where you can drop the "expert" roles and focus on the raw, human work of loving one another.

Seth Frank
Marriage and Family Therapist, MMFT, M.Div, AMFT
You might be feeling more like roommates than partners—stuck in the same arguments, walking on eggshells, or wondering how things got so far off track. Maybe the spark is gone, trust has been broken, or the connection just doesn’t feel the same. Whether you're trying to repair, reconnect, or decide what’s next, you're probably craving clarity, honesty, and a way back to feeling close again. I can help. (Look at my practice details to see more about what it would look like to work together.)

Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
A great number of marriages can be saved by the couple or even one of the relationship going to therapy. We bring allot of history into all of our relationships and that needs to be sorted out. We need to work on the communication patterns, behavioral patterns and learn to be interacting in a productive way. There is a challenge to learning to disagree in a healthy way and have the trust that you can be honest with your partner without fearing the relationship will suffer.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When a relationship is strained, it is easy to get pulled into the same arguments and disconnections. We will slow the cycle down and get clear about what is happening beneath the surface. I help couples strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and improve emotional connection with practical steps that fit your relationship and your goals.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I provide relationship and marriage counseling for couples and individuals seeking stronger communication, deeper understanding, and healthier connection. With extensive experience working with couples, families, and diverse clinical concerns across community mental health and private practice settings, I help partners identify patterns that create conflict or disconnection while building skills for trust, emotional intimacy, and effective problem-solving. Relationship therapy is often about learning how to clearly communicate needs, desires, and a sense of safety within the relationship so both partners can feel heard, respected, and understood. My approach is balanced, practical, and insight-oriented, supporting clients in creating more stable, respectful, and fulfilling relationships.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
Even when I treat individuals, so often we end up doing a form of relationship counseling, because we ARE our relationships. The people in our life affect us, and learning how to set boundaries and communicate differently is always a part of my treatment. Of course, this is easier when I get to work with both members of a couple (or family), in that I can then "hear both sides of the story." I am able to "speak" both male and female languages, so I find I can aid in translating and getting everyone to feel heard. (As a male therapist, this defuses some of the hesitation many male partners have about approaching therapy).

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Relationships are special and take considerable work. It doesn't matter if you are seeking a therapist to help you early in your relationship before "stuff happens" or are trying to back up and address longer standing patterns, I can help you be a strong "Us". When working with relationships we are going to talk about ways to make you a team and help you improve the ways you talk with each other to increase your understanding. The Gottman's talk about "Masters" and "Disasters" - I can help you be the former.

Chuck Gray, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Rather than limit counseling to only one approach, I offer my clients what I think is best specifically for them from a wide array of expert approaches in my marriage and other counseling. In addition to leading seminars to train other professionals in marriage counseling, I have benefited by receiving extensive professional training from most of the leading marriage counseling experts in the country, including but not limited to John Gottman, Susan Johnson, John Gray, Harville Hendrix, Virginia Satyr, Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson, Gary Brainard, Frank Pittman, Shirley Glass, Janice Abrahms Spring, and Neil Jacobson. In conducting counseling, I am fortunate to be able to choose from numerous resources including principles from Gottman's research, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mars & Venus Counseling, Imago Therapy, Positive Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Systems Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Gestalt Techniques, NLP, and EMDR. I also offer counseling tools that I personally developed here in Houston.

Willow & Arbor, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist
Relationships are a part of life but not something most of us receive any guidance or education in. Many people have any idea of the type of marriage they would like but no actual experience or example of how to make that work. Therapy can help you identify your personal and joint values and create the narrative of the relationship you want. Therapy can also help you identify stumbling blocks to that narrative and how to overcome them from an authentic and genuine place rather than avoidance. Many people believe "improved communication" is the key to fixing a marriage, and while this is important I also find that many couples communicate a lot but struggle with empathy, emotion tolerance, perspective taking, and follow through. Lastly, not all relationships are meant to last and some remain together out of fear of divorce or being alone. We can process this possiblity if it applies to your relationship and navigate it together.

Let’s face it: relationships can be both wonderful and terrible, providing us with the highest highs and lowest lows. If you spend any amount of time with a committed partner, feelings of disconnection, dissatisfaction, and a lack of resolution can show up. And such feelings indicate that both of you need to pay attention to what is happening so that you can successfully build trust and connection.
Whether you’re just starting out in your intimate partnership or you have made a long-term commitment to one another, it’s important that both of you learn how you came up against certain obstacles and what you can do to reconnect. But this can throw a wrench in your relationship maintenance for many reasons.
You are absolutely killing it at work and having to juggle the demands of your career, on top of friends, family, kids, and your relationship can be challenging. As a result, you may have noticed tension or resentment building, and your relationship is starting to feel more like that of two roommates rather than that of spouses or a long-term, intimate partnership. Or perhaps you two are running into consistent misunderstandings. Despite you giving it your best shot hoping to improve the situation, things seem to escalate and never get better.
So here you are now—in the same cycle of conflict and argumentation that never seems to resolve itself. Believe us, we at Therapie can relate! You two may be fighting constantly or freezing each other out in silence. And perhaps you’re beginning to wonder if you are still on the same page, with the same shared goals in mind.
But maybe you may find that none of this struggle applies to your relationship… at least not yet.
Perhaps you’re just trying to be proactive in creating the strongest bond possible as you plan your next steps together—steps that may involve living together, getting married, and starting a family. You may be in search of some objective guidance from a professional who can help you in setting and adjusting certain expectations. Or perhaps you’re simply interested in setting a stable foundation with your significant other so that, together, you can tackle the obstacles that will inevitably arise down the line.
Our hats are off to you, and your relationship is likely giddy knowing it is getting the attention it deserves! All couples, no matter the circumstances, can benefit from couples therapy in Nashville. And with our clinicians, you and your partner will find an open and empathetic space to explore the ins and outs of your relationship.

Knoxville is home to the University of Tennessee — the state's flagship research university — and serves as the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains and Appalachian outdoor recreation culture, giving it a distinctive blend of college-town energy and Appalachian heritage that shapes its therapy community. The city's growing healthcare sector, anchored by UT Medical Center and Covenant Health, provides institutional mental health resources and supplies clinical training to the local community. Knoxville's working-class Appalachian communities carry distinct cultural attitudes toward help-seeking — including strong value on self-reliance and community support — that therapists must navigate with cultural sensitivity. The University of Tennessee's psychology programs, combined with the city's proximity to Appalachian communities experiencing opioid-related crisis, mean addiction recovery and co-occurring trauma are among the most active areas in Knoxville's local therapy landscape.
