Therapists for college students near Nashville, TN

I specialize in working with college students, young adults, individuals, and couples navigating trauma, academic stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, substance use, and life transitions. I have experience providing services in College Counseling and Psychological Services settings, where I’ve supported students through personal, relational, and academic challenges. My approach is trauma-informed and integrative. I use EMDR along with other evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), to support holistic healing and emotional well-being. I strive to create a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can process their experiences, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.

I support individuals of all ages in managing mental health challenges, including anxiety/depression, trauma, grief, and mood disorders. My approach is tailored to each client's age, maturity, learning style, and interests, ensuring developmentally appropriate interventions. Teaching clients that overcoming cognitive, emotional, & behavioral challenges requires effort and perseverance. This perspective fosters resilience & personal growth, empowering clients to develop new skills for managing life's difficulties.

During our sessions together, I will support you in exploring the many parts of you and how they came to be. I will work with you to identify the negative messages connected to these parts of you. We will form a relationship with these parts and create a safe place for all of you to be seen, heard, and understood. In this safe place, you will heal yourself. Developing my own internal resources has helped me to move through some very difficult times as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Using evidence based research, I provide care that values every part of you and respects where you came from. In those moments of pain and struggle and self-discovery, I will help you to choose yourself. I seek to create a safe and inclusive space for black-bodied individuals, first generation immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks, survivors of trauma, sex workers, and clients who are struggling with relationship and intimacy issues. My approach to mental health care is rooted in anti-oppressive and decolonizing frameworks. The treatment modalities that I use have been found to be effective across many cultures, ages, genders, and experiences. I am here to support my clients in rediscovering themselves, strengthening their mind-body connection, and living the life they have always wanted.

With over ten years of clinical experience, I recognize how academic stress can affect young adults. These challenges often impact individuals uniquely, depending on their backgrounds and identities. In therapy, I customize my approach to equip you with the tools and support necessary to reclaim balance and focus on your academic and social pursuits. Together, we will create a space to address these challenges.

My name is Teresa Arnold, and Mind Matters Behavioral Health is where I pour my passion into providing personalized care. As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I draw on many years of experience to walk alongside people through life's challenges. My background in critical care nursing has equipped me to handle even the most complex cases with skill and compassion. Yet my deepest calling comes from my work with vulnerable populations overlooked by the system for far too long. I simply could not turn away. From that moment on, I knew my purpose was to truly see each person in their wholeness, not just treat isolated symptoms. My goal is not merely to prolong life, but to fill each day with meaning, hope and healing. At Mind Matters, we will work hand in hand, heart to heart, to create a treatment plan unique to your needs. Your mind matters. And together, we will find the path to healing.

Hi, I’m Amanda. I work with individuals and couples who want to get to the root of their patterns—whether it’s relational conflict, trauma symptoms, anxiety, or a sense that something deeper is in the way of fully living. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but exhausted internally. Others feel flooded, shut down, or stuck in dynamics they can’t quite name. I help you slow down and listen to the wisdom of your nervous system, so we can understand how past experiences may still be living in your body—and gently unwind them. My approach integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, parts work (IFS-informed), and body-based listening tools like the Safe and Sound or Rest and Restore Protocol. I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for those seeking an altered state of consciousness to process trauma or reconnect with meaning. When working with couples, I draw from Relational Life Therapy to help partners move beyond blame and disconnection and into clarity, ownership, and renewed connection. I also offer Discernment Counseling which is a short term focused therapy for couples unsure whether to stay or separate—with compassion for both perspectives. Outside the therapy room, I spend as much time as I can outdoors—going on “bug hunts” with my son, hiking local trails with my husband, or exploring a new interest in horseback riding. I also love yoga, travel, and quiet mornings with coffee and books. If you’re ready to get curious about what your symptoms are trying to say—and want to feel more connected to yourself and your relationships—I’d be honored to support your journey.

I aim to create an environment that helps people feel comfortable working through issues, without fear of judgment or bias. I use a productive client-centered approach with cognitive-behavioral interventions that are balanced, earnest, and comprehensive. Potential goals of therapy are to help couples develop emotional attunement, establish an individual identity, or discover new depths of connection. I also work with adults seeking support for depression, anxiety, grief, sobriety, marriage and family issues, premarital counseling, and general life transitions.
