Therapy & Counseling
Therapy at Shrinkty is one-on-one counseling with licensed mental health professionals for Tennesseans ages 13 and up, plus couples and family sessions. Therapists use evidence-based approaches for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship stress — by secure telehealth video anywhere in Tennessee, or in person in Murfreesboro, McMinnville, and Dickson.
What therapy at Shrinkty looks like
Therapy is a regular, private conversation with a licensed mental health professional — a dedicated space to work through what's weighing on you, understand your patterns, and build practical skills you can use between sessions.
There is no single script. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches and tailor them to your goals, your pace, and what you're dealing with — whether that's anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship stress, or something harder to name.
Therapy and medication work well together
Therapy is effective on its own, and for many people it works well alongside medication. Because Shrinkty offers both under one roof, your therapist and your prescribing provider can coordinate directly — no faxing records between offices, no repeating your story from scratch.

Flexible ways to meet
Sessions are available by secure telehealth video from anywhere in Tennessee, or in person at our Murfreesboro, McMinnville, and Dickson offices. Many patients mix the two depending on their week.
Individual therapy
One-on-one sessions for ages 13 and up, focused entirely on you — your history, your goals, and the skills that help you get there.
Couples & family therapy
Sometimes the work is between people, not just within one person. We offer couples and family sessions to improve communication, repair trust, and support a loved one's treatment.
Frequently asked questions
What kinds of therapy does Shrinkty offer?
Shrinkty offers individual therapy for ages 13 and up, plus couples and family sessions. Our licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches and tailor them to your goals — whether you're working through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship stress, or something harder to name. Sessions are available by secure video anywhere in Tennessee or in person at our three offices.
Can I see a therapist and a prescriber at the same practice?
Yes. Shrinkty provides both therapy and psychiatric medication management under one roof, so your therapist and your prescribing provider can coordinate directly — no faxing records between offices and no repeating your story from scratch. Many patients do both, and either one can be a starting point.
How long does therapy take?
There's no fixed timeline — it depends on your goals and what you're working on. Some people come for a focused stretch around a specific problem; others find longer-term work more helpful. You and your therapist set goals early, revisit them regularly, and adjust the plan together as you make progress.
