Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Designed to help individuals overcome debilitating fear, stress, and anxiety, my therapeutic approach explores the underlying thoughts and feelings driving these experiences. By gaining insight into how these cognitive patterns inform behavior, clients develop sustainable management strategies. When clinically indicated, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to accelerate processing and long-term relief.

LAH Therapy Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
I have done training on anxiety and the fears that drive anxiety. Often it is related to issues that we can use EMDR to have movement. But regardless, it is important for the client to fee safe and be ready to do the work.

Hannah Allison

I specialize in helping clients manage anxiety and stress, particularly those in high-pressure environments like the creative industries, entrepreneurship, and other demanding careers. Through evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I guide clients in identifying the root causes of their stress, challenging unhelpful thought patterns, and developing effective coping strategies. My goal is to help you build emotional resilience, reduce overwhelm, and regain stability in your life.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients manage anxiety, worry, overthinking, panic, and fear of making the wrong decision. Many high-achieving people look calm and capable on the outside while privately feeling tense, overwhelmed, or unable to shut their mind off. In therapy, we work on understanding what fuels the anxiety, building practical coping strategies, reducing avoidance, and improving confidence in daily life. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, clear, and capable of handling stress without being controlled by fear.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MMFT, M.Div, AMFT
You might be feeling overwhelmed, caught in a loop of overthinking, worst-case scenarios, or a constant undercurrent of worry you can’t shake. Maybe it feels like your mind won’t stop racing, or like you're always bracing for something to go wrong, especially when things seem fine. Whether you’ve been managing this quietly for years or you’re just now starting to notice how much it’s affecting your life, you know something needs to shift. I can help. (Look at my practice details to see more about what it would look like to work together.)

Nat Nigro
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.Ed., LPC-MHSP
As a nonbinary AuDHD therapist, anxiety, perfectionism, and chronic stress are common experiences I often work with. I have a variety of approaches my clients find beneficial for these experiences, including skills based therapy like DBT or CBT (which I modify to be neurodivergent affirming), as well as IFS and EMDR when appropriate. I will tailor my approach based on what your goals are and what has worked (or not worked) for you in the past. I think we all deserve a safe place to heal and be ourselves, and I would be honored to create one of those spaces for you.

Patricia McGuire
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-MHSP, NCC

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Sexual anxiety, performance fears, or the quiet worry that something is “wrong” with your desire or body can create distance in your relationship or within yourself. In a safe, non-judgmental space, we gently unpack where the anxiety comes from—whether it’s rooted in past experiences, shame, or repeating patterns—and help you rebuild confidence, presence, and pleasure. Many clients notice they can finally relax, communicate their needs more openly, and experience intimacy that feels good instead of pressured or scary.

Christian Bumpous
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, CDWF
The stream of notifications is constant, the need to be on is everlasting, and the voice in your head that expects you to achieve! achieve! achieve! is the same voice that dwells on all of your mistakes. Hello, anxiety, an old frenemy—it’s time we had a talk.
While it’s possible that your old pal anxiety keeps you alert and aware of your surroundings, it’s likely all the overthinking and worry have created problems in your life. Maybe you’ve found that your relationships are driven by fear and people-pleasing since anxiety is so good at keeping you self-critical and in need of constant reassurance that you’re doing the all the right things in all the right ways.
Creating boundaries and saying “no”? Anxiety would tell you all that is for the birds.
Or maybe that old bloke has had the opposite effect on you. When you’re stressed, you may end up avoiding, procrastinating, and coming up with excuses for why you can’t live in the now. You probably struggle with a racing mind that doesn’t let you sleep or that nagging voice in your head that keeps you awake at night, comparing yourself to others, finding ways that you just haven’t measured up, and ruminating on that one email or spreadsheet for the umpteenth time today.
When it comes to spending your time in anxiety’s clutches, a clear, focused mind that doesn’t run a mile a minute is rare. And confidence in the future? Well, let’s just say the future is not looking all rainbows and butterflies right now. All you want is a sense of peace and contentment with yourself, but anxiety is all about dressing you up on the outside to appear as stoic and self-assured while covering up the hot mess you are feeling within.
At Therapie in Nashville, we get it. Anxiety has tried cozying up to us too—assuring us it has the best of intentions and whispering not-so-sweet little ruminations in our ears—but we know with the right therapeutic treatment, your anxiety can receive a much-needed performance review so you can get your emotions back on track.

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.
