You’re More Than What You Accomplish

Mental health therapy for high-performing adults in Nashville, Tennessee.

STRUCTURED PRACTICAL IN-OFFICE & ONLINE THERAPY

Steadfast Living Therapy in Brentwood, TN

Are you tired of:

\

Your life looking great on paper but feeling unfulfilling?

\

Feeling constantly stressed and anxious?

\

Tying your self-worth to what you achieve in your sport or career?

\

Anxiety and self-doubt hindering your peformance at school, work, or in sports?

Anxiety and stress are a part of life, but they don’t have to run your life.

Actionable Therapy for High Performers

Evidence-Based

We’ll use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), or a combination of the three to help you lean into a meaningful life.

Practical

You’ll be given action items, worksheets, articles, reflection questions, book recommendations, and other tools to help you extend what we are working on to life outside the therapy room.

Engaged

I’m not a “sit back and nod” therapist. My style is active and direct, like a coach. I’ll provide questions, observations, and feedback to help you understand and change patterns that aren’t working well for you.

Values-Based Therapy

Ideal for anxiety, perfectionism, depression, and life transitions. We’ll team up to identify what’s most important to you, figure out what’s getting in your way, and develop action steps to help you align your life with your values.

Skills-Focused Therapy

Learn practical skills and tools to help you manage anxiety and stress and enhance your performance at work, school, and in sport.

You don’t have to figure it out on your own.

You’re constantly taking the lead in your life. I don’t expect you to lead your therapy sessions too. I’ll provide direction, structure, and evidence-based interventions to guide you toward your goals. You’ll be invited to provide feedback throughout our work together to ensure our focus and approach are meeting your needs.
