Amy Bohannan, LPC — Therapist in Tennessee

Hi there, I'm Amy!

I believe therapy is the best gift you can give yourself. I'm honored to walk alongside you as you take this step into self-discovery. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and trauma. I welcome you as you are in your journey.

My focus

I work with adults dealing with life stressors and transitions, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, family of origin, and grief.

My approach

I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy. I approach each session with openness to explore your individual needs and goals. I generally use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, EMDR, and somatic and polyvagal interventions.

My communication style

I believe in an open, honest, collaborative approach. Your therapy is your therapy. If there is something you would like more of or less of, I invite you to advocate for your needs. Many of us don't have practice asking for what we want and need. I gladly meet you there and will help you identify your wants and needs.

My goals for you

I believe therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it's meaningful and relevant to you.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy, and start framing possible goals. Therapy is a process, and we'll continue to build our work together over time.
