# Meet Our TN Mental Wellness Therapists
Trauma-informed counseling and assessment services for individuals, couples and families in Nashville, Gallatin and Hendersonville TN.
*(Virtual Sessions available in TN, KY and SC)*
[Schedule Your Appointment](https://tnmw.janeapp.com)
***At Tennessee Mental Wellness, we’re deeply committed to supporting the health and well-being of families. Our work spans the full spectrum of family life—from strengthening couples' relationships to supporting children and teens, as well as individuals navigating ADHD, anxiety, and life transitions. We also provide immigration evaluations and offer affirming, inclusive care for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals. As a trauma-informed, holistic practice serving Nashville and the surrounding communities, we’re here to support you with mental health care that is thoughtful, personalized, and deeply attuned.***
A pillar of our practice is collaborative mental health care. That is part of the "boutique" nature of our services: We actively work with your other psychiatric and medical providers as a team so that you're progressing most effectively. For our clients who are teens and children, we collaborate with teachers and parents to support your emotional growth. We are big on teamwork.
Our collaborative nature has helped us develop strong referral networks within the community. If we don’t provide the specific type of therapy you’re looking for, our Client Care Coordinators can connect you with other providers in the area who may be a better fit. Our priority is helping you find the mental health resources you need, even if it’s not with us.
### Our History and Philosophy
Tennessee Mental Wellness was founded with a vision to provide excellence in trauma-informed mental health care for our community and a supportive workplace for its staff. Since its inception as a solo practice in Gallatin TN in 2017 by Emily Runyan, MA, LMFT, the practice has made a name for itself as Sumner County's only trauma-informed, family-centered [Brainspotting Practice](https://tnmentalwellness.com/brainspotting?hsLang=en). We added a second, In-Network sister practice in 2025, [Horizon Counseling](https://horizoncounselingtn.com), to meet the need for accessibility. Together, we have locations in [Gallatin](https://maps.app.goo.gl/6XspHuHp7XL1qLvT6), [Hendersonville](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Eor8Fagb5bFrWk5R9), [Nashville TN](https://maps.app.goo.gl/V2GuTDY184DPPMG16) (Donelson), and [Bellevue TN](https://maps.app.goo.gl/RnwFZAUeKJ9ykcux9).
We believe therapy should feel like a place where you can show up fully—without pressure, without judgment, and without having to hold it all together. Change can be hard, especially when you’ve been carrying so much for so long. Our therapists bring both expertise and genuine care, helping you uncover your strengths, process what’s been holding you back, and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life. Every person’s journey is unique, and we thoughtfully tailor our approach to meet you where you are.
The TN Mental Wellness logo features a serene lake framed by mountains and sunshine—symbols 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.
### 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.
## Finding Your Path: Why Therapy is for Everyone
It’s common to wonder, *“Is therapy really for me?”*
And the truth is—therapy isn’t about fitting into a category or having something “serious enough” going on. It’s about having a space that’s truly yours.
Whether you’re a high-achieving professional feeling the weight of constant pressure, a parent seeking support for your child, someone navigating anxiety or ADHD, a couple wanting to reconnect, or an athlete or performer carrying the demands of high expectations—you deserve support that understands your world.
We also know it’s not always easy to take this step. You might feel unsure, hesitant, or wonder if therapy will actually help. That’s okay. You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.
At TN Mental Wellness, we take care in matching you with a therapist who truly fits—not just in expertise, but in personality and approach. If you’re not sure where to start, we invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. It’s a simple, low-pressure way to connect, ask questions, and see what feels right for you.
