Tulip Tree Counseling - Therapy in Brentwood and Nashville, TN for Women, Teens, and LGBTQ+ Clients
We are passionate about providing quality mental health care to better the lives of our clients. Utilizing evidence-based practices, we strive to meet our clients where they are and collaborate throughout treatment to ensure we are meeting their goals. We value the therapeutic relationship and often draw on humor throughout sessions.
Emotional healing cannot arise without community, caring relationships, and vulnerability. And… if you are in a place where you can access emotion, that belief can be terrifying. The idea of sharing our pain, and opening up to others in a way that also welcomes the possibility of judgment, can lead anyone to a place of silence, secrecy, and shame. This protective strategy is a “relational paradox” because the very thing that would help us heal, vulnerability, is what we can actively avoid in hopes of protecting ourselves and the relationships we so deeply care about. Often, this is the place I begin with clients. We start with unpacking how their own “relational paradox” has been incredibly adaptive (and typically a protective strategy) yet is no longer helping them live a life in line with their values. Together, we work to implement new coping skills and draw from their inner bravery and courage to find healing, connection, and joy.

In every instance, we approach therapy in a highly individualized way that works best for each client.
We specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults who want to learn how to regulate their emotions, create and maintain healthy relationships, and strengthen their relationships with their bodies. Check out our providers' page to learn more about our specific specialties!

Learn more about ART and how it differs from EMDR here.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based, client-centered therapy designed to achieve rapid recovery from symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. ART uses a combination of relaxation techniques and guided imagery to help clients reprocess traumatic memories and reduce emotional distress.
Why Choose ART?
ART is unique because it often provides fast and effective relief, typically within 1-5 sessions. Clients who undergo ART report significant improvements in their mental health and well-being. This therapy is known for its ability to help clients:
Resolve trauma and PTSD
Reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression
Alleviate phobias and panic attacks

We understand our clients do not exist in a vacuum. Research shows that the individual client, or the “identified client,” is often struggling due to a system out of their control (i.e., their employment structure, family system, ability access to resources, etc.).
When the family or couple is together, the clients are more likely to see goals on a micro and macro level. With increased awareness and the ability to practice new skills together in sessions, couples and families can quickly and efficiently experience the healing process.
