Julie Flannagan, LMFT — Therapist in Tennessee

Hi there, I'm Julie!

I want to commend you for showing up for yourself. My goal is to create a warm, safe place for you to learn skills to face life's challenges. I take a collaborative approach to build insight and awareness so you can create lasting changes, no matter the struggles you face. You are not alone.

My focus

I work with young adults struggling with life transitions, women facing perimenopause and menopause, and people dealing with chronic illness. I personally live with chronic illness and want to help others understand they are not alone. My goal is to be with you and help you develop resilience through whatever you're facing.

My approach

I tailor treatment to your individual needs. I use mindfulness and grounding skills for anxiety. I incorporate Internal Family Systems to help with past attachment wounds impacting your life today, and Brainspotting as a trauma-based approach. My goal is to teach skills so you can work through whatever you face in life.

My communication style

I use a warm and sometimes gently direct approach. My goal is to meet you where you are in a non-judgmental way. I welcome feedback and use active listening to make sure you are heard. I work towards being fully present because I understand you may not have the support you need from others around you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist later in life after facing many adversities and learning to build resilience and growth. I have a passion to help others do the same. I have a deep belief in the human capacity for strength and resilience through hardship.

My goals for you

I work with you to create achievable, insightful goals that build confidence in your decision-making while navigating challenges. This is collaborative work. You know yourself better than anyone, so it's important to me to help you feel successful through therapy.

Our first session

Our first session is about building rapport and getting to know each other. I want you to feel comfortable discussing what brought you to therapy. I do an intake to learn about your presenting concerns and the resources you have in your life, whether family, friends, or spiritual beliefs.
