Nashville, Tennessee therapist: LAH Therapy Services, marriage and family therapist
Serving Black / African American

LAH Therapy Services

Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 35 years. I take all of my ongoing trainings to stay up to date. I really enjoy doing EMDR because it allows people to process trauma - from childhood trauma experiences to current traumas. I also work with improving relationships, improving communication and internal growth. I work with addiction and all that goes with that such as low self-esteem and personal growth.

The Consultation Package is $650 and includes your 30-minute meeting, record review, written recommendations, and your first therapy session with your matched clinician—so you can start therapy sooner. You’ll also be introduced to your Clinical Concierge, who will guide and support you throughout treatment. If the fit isn’t perfect, we’ll make it right.

Nashville, Tennessee therapist: Paigean Jones, licensed clinical social worker
Serving Black / African American

Paigean Jones

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, PMH-C, RYT-200
In a world that often values toughness, being a highly sensitive and soft-hearted person can feel like a burden. We might say “yes” when we really mean “no”. And we may feel like we have to act differently to fit in, even if it means putting others before ourselves. Sometimes it can feel tough to find our inner courage, speak up for what we want, and create positive boundaries. This can be especially true when we’re striving for success in our careers, supporting our loved ones emotionally, or navigating big life changes like pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Nashville, Tennessee therapist: Aaron Petrie, licensed professional counselor
Serving Black / African American

Aaron Petrie

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-MHSP
I work with high performers—athletes, entrepreneurs, and professionals—who are driven, successful, and under constant pressure to “be on.” Even at the top of their game, many struggle with anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, or feeling disconnected from themselves or others. They’re not just looking for coping strategies—they want therapy that helps them stay sharp, grounded, and emotionally balanced without losing their edge. Through virtual therapy in Texas and Tennessee, I help clients manage anxiety, performance pressure, and burnout using a blend of sports psychology, Brainspotting, mindful CBT, and real-world strategies. My approach builds emotional resilience, mental clarity, and long-term success—so you can thrive not just in your work, but in your life. You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. If you're ready to feel more focused, fulfilled, and aligned with who you truly are, therapy can help. Schedule a consultation and let’s start creating real change together.
