Tia Morris, LCSW — Therapist in Tennessee

Hi there, I'm Tia!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Missouri, in addition to Illinois, Tennessee, and New York. I am particularly passionate about serving high-achieving, professional women who are committed to showing up for others and are now ready to show up for themselves.

My focus

Do you find yourself wondering if you will always feel this way? Have life circumstances left you feeling as if you and your life are a mess, with no chance of it getting better? If you're struggling with sadness, self-doubt, insecurity, loneliness, hopelessness, or feeling stuck, help is here.

My approach

My style is respectful, supportive, empathetic, and genuine. Clients often feel that I get them and understand their struggles, as well as where they want to be. I'm dedicated to providing a relationship that allows you to find your essence, voice, autonomy, and superpower to live out your best life.

My communication style

I believe that 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.

My journey to mental healthcare

From a young age, I’ve been the one people turn to for support. That naturally led me to the field of social work, and I’ve never looked back. With almost 20 years of experience across state government, education, nonprofit, community mental health, and medical sectors, I bring a well-rounded, compassionate, and practical approach to each session.

My goals for you

I'm passionate about helping high-achieving professional women navigate anxiety, self-esteem challenges, depression, and relationship concerns. I create a safe, affirming, and judgment-free space where you can take off the mask, get real, and begin your journey toward healing and self-acceptance.

Our first session

The first session consists of the two of us going over your intake paperwork together. If we finish the intake process and still have additional time, we will begin delving into exploring the issues and topics of what brought you to therapy in the first place.
