Anxiety or Fears
Nat Nigro
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.Ed., LPC-MHSP
As a nonbinary AuDHD therapist, I provide therapy for queer and neurodivergent people of all ages. I specialize in complex trauma and identity work, as well as other common experiences that our communities manage like anxiety, depression, stress, and family or relational difficulties. Anxiety, perfectionism, and chronic stress is one common experience I 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 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.

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.

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.
