Counseling for Becoming More Yourself

Compassionate, grounded therapy in Nashville, TN for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and the moments that ask us to grow.

You might be here because you want something to be different — not just in your thinking, but in how you feel and how you move through your life.

You may feel stuck in patterns that are hard to break. You may be carrying grief that hasn't found a place to rest. You may notice yourself overthinking, shutting down, or stretching to hold more than you should. You may be in a season of change that feels both hopeful and uncertain. You are ready for relief and a fuller, more honest way of living.

I'm Tony, a counselor who believes therapy should be grounded, real, and centered on who you are — not just what brought you in. My approach is compassionate and practical, drawing on evidence-based practices to help you understand yourself more deeply and build the tools to navigate your life with greater ease.

Tony Wakefield, Counselor

I believe healing happens in relationship.

My approach is collaborative and respectful. I work alongside you — not above you — to understand the patterns that have shaped your life and to find practical, meaningful ways forward.

I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and person-centered counseling to create a space where you can be honest, explore freely, and build the skills that actually fit your life.

This work is personal for me. I know what it takes to sit across from someone and choose to be vulnerable, and I don't take that trust lightly.
