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.

We’ll review your history, goals, and what you’re looking for (and not looking for) in a therapist. From there, we match you with the clinician best suited to your needs.
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.
With immediate openings and some of the top therapists in the nation, available in multiple states, let us do the searching for you. Schedule your Consultation Package today.

Becca Edwards
Therapist, LMSW, Ed.S., M.ed
I became a therapist because I believe people deserve a space where they can feel truly seen, understood, and accepted for who they are. I care deeply about creating therapy that is compassionate, inclusive, and anti-oppressive—because I believe our identities, relationships, communities, and lived experiences all matter in the therapy room. My goal is to meet you where you are, without judgment or assumptions, and work alongside you to better understand yourself, heal, and create meaningful change. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, betrayal trauma, relationships, ADHD, and life transitions, and I strive to make therapy a space where you can show up as your whole self.

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.

Aligned Counseling LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCMH, LPC-MHSP
I believe that we are more than what we struggle with. In today's world women are often held to, or holding themselves to, a high standard. We strive to "do it all" and aim for perfection. We are often left feeling tired, anxious, and overwhelmed. You may be juggling a high stakes job, a new medical diagnosis, or simply trying to keep everything together. It is my honor to work with you to help you better understand your needs, your expectations, and your wants - essentially, to find the you that's underneath all of the stressors.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I work with high achievers, professionals, executives, and driven individuals who look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or stuck in constant overthinking. You may be managing career pressure, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, procrastination, relationship stress, or difficulty setting boundaries. Even when things look successful from the outside, it can feel exhausting to keep pushing while privately second-guessing yourself.
My approach is practical, direct, and focused on helping you make meaningful changes in your day-to-day life. We will work on understanding the patterns that keep you stuck, building confidence in your decisions, improving boundaries, managing stress more effectively, and creating a healthier relationship with work, achievement, and responsibility. The goal is not just insight, but real progress.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
I'm Dr. Anna Smith (she/her), a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist. I offer online sex therapy, couples therapy, & relationship counseling across the US in 40+ states — for people who want deeper intimacy, more honest communication, & relationships that feel good.
What makes my practice different is that it’s built entirely around deep relational and sexual intimacy—nothing else. With over a decade focused exclusively on couples and sex therapy, AASECT certification, and advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and trauma-informed care, I’m not a generalist who happens to see couples; this is the work I love.
Clients tell me they finally feel seen, supported, and gently challenged in the exact ways they need. If you care deeply about your relationship (or your relationship with yourself) but feel stuck, exhausted by the same patterns, or unsure how to talk about sex without shame, I’d be honored to help. You deserve a therapist who specializes in exactly what you’re struggling with—and who can help you create the safety, closeness, and pleasure you’ve been longing for. Let’s talk.

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.
