Thoughtful reflections, clinical insights, and real conversations.
Our journal is a space where we share what we’re learning, noticing, and thinking. Whether you’re new to therapy, returning after time away, or simply curious about how growth and change unfold, our hope is that these writings offer something useful, grounding, and encouraging. We believe that mental and relational health should be talked about openly and with care, and we’re honored to be part of that conversation.
There’s more to say than what fits in a session.
What happens in therapy is personal, private, and often hard to put into words. But as a team, we spend a lot of time thinking about the themes that show up in the room: grief, identity, healing, relationships, change. Our journal is where we put some of those thoughts into writing. These posts are meant to offer perspective, reflection, and maybe even a little clarity for anyone wondering what therapy is really about, and why it matters.

Low Desire vs. Sexual Mismatch: Nashville Perspectives
When addressing sexual issues, it’s crucial to distinguish between low desire and mismatch. Low desire refers to a lack of interest or motivation in sexual activity, while mismatch involves differing levels or types of sexual interests between partners. These situations require distinct approaches and understanding to effectively address the root causes and find satisfying solutions.
Sex Therapy in Nashville: Where to Begin
By working with a trained professional, individuals and couples can explore underlying issues, improve communication, and develop strategies for a more fulfilling intimate life. If you're considering sex therapy, it's essential to know where to start and what to expect.
When Pain, Anxiety, or Trauma Impact Intimacy
Our bodies carry stories. Our nervous systems respond to memories, messages, and environments we may not even be consciously aware of. And when intimacy becomes a place where those responses are triggered, it can feel disorienting, isolating, or even shameful.
Talking About Desire Differences Without Shame
Desire differences are not just normal. They’re inevitable in any long-term relationship. But when they go unspoken, they can create distance, resentment, or shame on both sides.
Why Sex Therapy Isn’t Just About Sex
