Dr. Ruth Viehoff
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP
Hello, I'm Dr. Ruth Viehoff, and it's a pleasure to virtually meet you. I specialize in working with anxious overachievers, perfectionists, and adults with ADHD. My clients are often worriers and people who struggle to meet their own exacting standards, even though to an outsider's view, they may appear to have it all together. Often my clients are so concerned and caring towards others, but can struggle to care for themselves and advocate for their own needs. In therapy, we work to introduce self-compassion and shift personal standards that may get in the way of enjoying your life. While I'm physically located in Indianapolis, IN, the majority of my clients see me virtually. Whether you live in Indiana, New York, Massachusetts, or a participating Psypact state, I'd love to connect with you and help you to live a more authentic, embodied, and joyful life. Reach out to me today to book a free consultation call!

Psychological assessment to clarify diagnoses such as autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD, etc., Independent Medical Evaluations (IME), worker’s compensation, preemployment for first responders, and fitness-for-duty-evaluations are also offered.

Grounded in decolonizing mental health, liberation, and feminist psychologies, my practice employs multimodal approaches, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, somatic experiencing, emotionally focused couples therapy, Gottman, family systems, psychoanalysis, and more.
Empowering you to forge your unique path, I serve as a guide with an emphasis on agency and self-determination.

Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I believe that one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your own story. From this understanding and processing of your unique story, you can let go of traumas that control you, anxiety and depression road blocks, bad relationships, and overall the emotional pain that may prevent you from living a happy and fulfilling life that gets you excited to wake up to everyday. I want you to be free of that pain so that you can find meaning, excitement, and purpose in work, friendships, relationships, family, and really ALL areas of your life. You DESERVE this and I'm here to help you on this healing journey you deserve!

I want to work collaboratively WITH you and I can promise that I am as real as it gets. You may hear me swear (haha), laugh hard with you, and just be my authentic self. For you to be real with me, I also need to be real too!
I will work hard with you and to HEAR and SEE you starting your journey of healing. I work with most mental health concerns and have specialize in trauma recovery, working with LGBTQ+ individuals, relationship counseling, college mental health, and ADHD and Autism assessment just to name a few. I can usually get you in same week. Check out my website and lets connect!

Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel peaceful and content, but instead you are feeling: overwhelmed by stress, totally burned out, or even debilitated by anxiety. It’s been hard for you to manage the emotional toll of constant and often unrealistic demands. You can rarely find a moment to stop and catch your breath. Each day feels like you are being stretched a bit thinner and you wonder how much you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus and I help ambitious women find relief from stress, burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional pain. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

Dr. Nichole Vincent
Psychologist, PsyD
You’ve been pushing, pulling, and trying your damnedest to hold it all together. But let’s be real – deep down, you know something’s gotta give. Life wasn’t meant to feel this hard, this stuck, this… much.
And if you’re being honest? You’re SO over it.
Here’s the truth: you’re not broken. You’re navigating a world that doesn’t always make it easy to thrive. But that doesn’t mean you can’t reclaim your power, find your flow, and create a life that feels exactly right for YOU.
Let me guess…
• You’re caught in relationships that leave you feeling unseen, unheard, and unfulfilled.
• Your brain races at night like it’s training for a marathon – replaying every conversation, obsessing over
what you “should’ve” done, or worrying about what’s next.
• Your to-do list owns you. You make them, you lose them, and even when you cross things off, you still feel
like you’re falling short.
• Every day feels like you’re stuck on autopilot, and you can’t help but wonder: Is this it?
• You’re holding your sh*t together on the outside but are so effing drained on the inside.
• You thought you’d buried it, but those old painful memories still find ways to show up and shake your
foundation.
• You don’t let anyone in because you don’t want to “burden” them with your struggles.
What if it doesn’t have to be this way?
Therapy With Me Is More Than Just Talking – It’s About Transforming
I’m here to shake things up. To get to the root of what’s really holding you back – the stories, patterns and cycles that keep you stuck – and disrupt the sh*t out of them. To help you stop spinning your wheels and start moving toward a life that feels good.
You deserve a life that feels aligned with who you are – not just who you’re “supposed” to be. I’m here to help you:
• Finally figure out why you keep saying yes to less and start asking for (and getting) what you deserve.
• Turn off the mental replay and get the deep, restorative rest you’ve been craving.
• Stop letting your to-do list define your worth – and start finding joy in your days again.
• We’ll figure out what you really want and how to get it. Yes, even the big, scary, “am I allowed to want this?”
stuff.
• Heal the sh*t from your past so it doesn’t keep showing up in your present.
• You’ll feel free to show up fully as yourself. No more shrinking, silencing, or second-guessing.
You’re worthy of a life that feels spacious, joyful, and ease-filled – and I’m here to help you create it.
It’s Time to Step Into Your Mentally “Well-thy” Life
You’re not here to settle. You’re here to thrive. To rise. To reclaim what’s been waiting for you all along. And while this journey might feel scary, overwhelming, or even impossible right now, I promise you this: I’ll meet you where you are, but I won’t leave you there.
I see you. I’ve got you. Let’s do this.

Nashville's identity as the hub of the country music and entertainment industries creates distinct demand for therapists who understand performance anxiety, creative identity, and the psychological pressures of a career where public persona and private self are often difficult to separate. The city's explosive growth — driven by healthcare, technology, and tourism — has brought a large influx of transplants navigating social isolation and the challenge of building community in a fast-changing city. Vanderbilt University Medical Center and HCA Healthcare, one of the largest hospital systems in the country, provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of private practices. Nashville's strong faith community means many residents seek therapists who can integrate spiritual values with evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
