Tammara kamei
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC-MHSP
With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, our practice provides compassionate, evidence-based counseling for individuals experiencing depression, persistent sadness, low motivation, emotional exhaustion, hopelessness, low self-esteem, and difficulty coping with everyday life.
Depression can affect relationships, work, parenting, sleep, decision-making, and overall quality of life. We understand that depression can look different for every person, which is why we provide individualized treatment based on each client's unique needs, experiences, strengths, and goals.
Through professional depression counseling, we help clients identify underlying concerns, recognize unhealthy thought and behavioral patterns, develop effective coping strategies, strengthen emotional regulation, improve self-esteem, and work toward meaningful and lasting change.
Our goal is to provide a supportive and confidential therapeutic environment where clients can address depression, improve their emotional well-being, and begin moving toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Not all depressive symptoms are the same.
It's important that your provider asks the right questions. Often, the label “Depression” is tossed around in popular culture as a way to describe a feeling or a mood, i.e. “I’m depressed thinking about how much work I have to do this weekend” or, “After looking at my bank balance this morning, I’m completely depressed.” While these situations CAN trigger sadness, hopelessness, and/or other unpleasant emotions, they are NOT a Depressive Disorder.
We want to help rule out chemical, physical, environmental, and other factors to help you really get to the bottom of things.

Becca Edwards
Therapist, LMSW, Ed.S., M.ed
Depression can make everything feel harder—from getting through the day to connecting with people or believing things can change. I offer a compassionate space to explore what you’re experiencing, understand the factors contributing to it, and work toward greater connection, hope, and engagement with your life.

Christian Bumpous
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, CDWF
Life doesn’t feel fun anymore, and it’s hard to find fulfillment in just about anything. You’ve been going through the motions at home, at work, and in your relationships—checking all the boxes but still feeling empty and directionless. And every time the weekend comes to an end, you’re filled with the “Sunday Scaries,” or a sense of dread that you’re approaching yet another week to slog through.
But you’re good at wearing a mask. Perhaps you look perfectly fine on the outside despite crumbling and shutting down within. You are still crushing it at work and accomplishing everything that’s expected of you, but with a sense of blah and overexertion. Maybe you look around at your life and think, I am good at what I do, I have everything I need; I shouldn’t feel depressed.
Yet, you struggle with emotional, physical, and cognitive symptoms of depression that infiltrate every other aspect of life. You may have experienced changes in your eating, sleeping, or exercise patterns, or maybe you feel a constant lethargy that has you dragging. As a result, it’s likely you are sad and hopeless about the future, unmotivated by the goals that once instilled your life with a sense of meaning and purpose.
Happiness feels out of your grasp, and you’re just so tired of reaching for it. But at Therapie in Nashville, we see your pain and provide you with the tools you need to move forward. And meeting with a depression therapist in Nashville can give you a customized roadmap to find your way out of depression.

LAH Therapy Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
Often Depression is related to trauma, PTSD and addiction so I work with the thought and emotional process to help people identify other ways of dealing with depression. If the client is on medication I will certainly work with them and their prescribing doctor.

Depression
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients who feel stuck, unmotivated, disconnected, or weighed down by self-criticism and discouragement. Depression can be especially frustrating for high achievers who are used to pushing through problems but now feel unable to function the way they normally would. In therapy, we work on understanding the patterns contributing to depression, rebuilding momentum, improving coping skills, and reconnecting with values, relationships, and meaningful goals. My goal is to help clients feel more hopeful, capable, and engaged in their lives.

Patricia McGuire

Depression is a common mental health concern that can show up in many ways, including long-lasting sadness, losing interest in things, changes in eating or sleeping, trouble focusing, and sometimes suicidal thoughts. Though it may feel lonely, support from therapy can help you understand and manage depression.

Depression
Dr. Stephanie Vaughn
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
There's feeling depressed and then there's DEPRESSION. While neither is fun, it is important to get a proper diagnosis so treatment can begin and a resolution to the Major Depressive Episode can happen. Interventions for chronic, low grade depression are different than for acute, Major Depressive Episodes. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon to have both! Behavioral activation is an important CBT intervention to start chipping away at the block of ice that is MDD.

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.
