I am Alison Goad, a licensed clinical social worker in Tennessee with over 20 years of clinical practice experience addressing issues including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, CPTSD, and trauma. My approach is client centered which means we begin therapy where you are. I want to learn all I can about you so we can work together to develop a treatment plan that is perfectly tailored to suit your particular needs. We will work together toward your goals so that your overall achievement through this process will be YOU at your best. I believe I can help you get there. We will build on your existing strengths, and utilize CBT, mindfulness practices, and when appropriate, EMDR to address traumatic memories stored in the body. I will work with you to become more embodied, resulting in less dissociative symptoms. Cognitive therapy will address maladaptive thinking patterns. Integration between these approaches combine to achieve transformation. I understand that it can be very difficult to begin this work, but you are courageous for taking these first steps. I believe this work is my calling, and I am here to help support you on your journey to healing. I invite you to reach out to me when you are ready to get started. I am looking forward to working with you.
