About

Tennessee Mental Wellness offers online counseling and medication management throughout Tennessee and in-person counseling at a therapy office in Gallatin TN. 

At Tennessee Mental Wellness, our therapists specialize in many issues that affect people of all genders. One of our values has always been to provide excellent mental health services to the community.

We offer mental health therapy for children ages 5 and up, as well as couples and families. Our team consists of licensed therapists and medication providers who specialize in various therapeutic approaches and work with diverse populations.

If we don’t provide the specific type of therapy you’re looking for, our administrative assistant can connect you with other therapists in the area who may be a better fit. Our priority is helping you find the support you need, even if it’s not with us.

Our History and Philosophy

TN Mental Wellness was founded with a vision to provide excellent mental health care for the community and a supportive workplace for its staff. Since its inception in Gallatin TN in March of 2022 by Emily Runyan, MA LMFT, the practice has grown from a small team of two to over 12 dedicated employees. Now expanding to other locations throughout Tennessee, our mission continues to focus on delivering high-quality, personalized mental health services.

We believe therapy should be a safe, comfortable, and supportive space where individuals can embark on meaningful change. While change is never easy, our compassionate and experienced therapists work with you to uncover your unique strengths and help you achieve your goals. Therapy is a deeply personal experience, and we tailor our approach to meet your specific needs, guiding you toward a more fulfilling and peaceful life.

The TN Mental Wellness logo features a serene lake framed by mountains and sunshine—a symbol of healing, resilience, and transformation. Just as reaching a mountain summit requires perseverance and strength, personal growth involves effort and determination. Our counselors are here to guide you on this journey, helping you reconnect with your authentic self and discover the inner resilience that allows you to thrive. With the support of our caring therapists and medication providers, you can experience genuine transformations that bring lasting joy and fulfillment.

Our Vision

Everyone will have the tools to heal from trauma, loss, and feeling “stuck” in life, and no one will ever suffer alone.

Our Why

Founded by Emily Runyan, LMFT, after her personal journey through profound loss and then healing, we aim to ensure no one experiences trauma in isolation. Our mission is to provide trauma-informed care throughout Tennessee. Our WHY is that we don’t want anyone to suffer alone. We want everyone to experience Post Traumatic Growth: healed hearts, connected relationships, and solid self-confidence! It is our gift to help our clients experience healing, relationship strengthening, and life-giving transformation.

We are Stewards of Connection:
Connecting people back to their Wholeness; Connecting people with each other

Our Mission

As trauma healing experts and heart-centered therapists, we guide individuals toward healing and fulfillment, helping them build stronger, more meaningful relationships—one heart at a time.

Our Values

EMBODY LOVE - Love is expressed through compassion, kindness, respect, trust, patience, safety, and non-judgment. We serve others with humility, grace, and generosity, always striving to meet them where they are.

NURTURE GROWTH - Trauma healing is central to our work. Through this healing, individuals experience post-traumatic growth—emotional and relational development that often surpasses expectations, leaving them feeling more alive, fulfilled, and aligned with their true selves.

HONOR WHOLENESS - We recognize that each person is inherently whole, complete, and deserving of respect, regardless of their challenges or circumstances. We see beyond symptoms and diagnoses, honoring the full dignity and potential of every individual.

FOSTER CONNECTION - True healing happens in a relationship. By giving generously, supporting one another, and creating spaces of belonging, we strengthen our collective resilience and empower each other to thrive.

LIFELONG LEARNING - We embrace continuous growth and development, staying open to new knowledge and evolving practices that ensure we are always improving our ability to serve and support others.

CLINICAL EXCELLENCE - We provide the highest standard of care, grounded in evidence-based practices and a deep commitment to the well-being of those we serve.
