Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Tennessee

Hi, I'm Matt! I am a mindfulness- and movement-based therapist for adolescents and young adults. Whether you're an adolescent struggling with confidence or social anxiety, a young adult feeling the pressures of "figuring it out", or someone dealing with a phase-of-life change, I provide an open, freeing, and calming space to discuss and work through all the curveballs life has to offer.

Hello! I'm Kimberly McKillop, and I offer personalized online therapy to help you address your specific needs and goals. My areas of expertise include self-esteem, anxiety, and relationship issues. I can assist you in identifying and changing negative thoughts and beliefs, promote positive self-talk, foster self-compassion, and self-care, and teach you effective coping skills to manage intense emotions, among other things!

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a relational, trauma-informed therapist who works with individuals navigating identity, self-worth, and life transitions. My approach is gentle but active, blending modalities like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), existentialism, mindfulness, among others. I believe healing happens in safe, collaborative spaces—where your story is honored, your pace is respected, and meaningful change can unfold.

With my extensive experience in psychiatric care, I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and schizophrenia. My journey in mental health began with a deep-seated belief in the power of understanding and empathy. I hold a Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine from Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tennessee, and completed my psychiatry residency training at Meharry Medical University in Nashville, Tennessee. My medical approach combines evidence-based treatment with holistic, individualized care. I believe in tailoring each treatment plan to meet the unique needs of every patient, fostering a collaborative environment focused on achieving personal treatment goals. *Specialties •Psychiatry •Psychotherapy •Osteopathic Medicine •Holistic Medicine •Mental Health *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •Bipolar disorders •Schizophrenia •PTSD •ADHD •Substance abuse •Eating disorders •OCD •Personality disorders •Addiction •Insomnia •Anger Management •Behavioural Therapy •Trauma and PTSD •LGBTQIA+ •Stress •Grief •Loss •Relationship Issues *Treatment philosophy We pride ourselves on our attentive and customized approach.
