Maria McLaughlin, LCSW

Person-Centered | Compassionate | Empowering

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

As a therapist, it is my goal to help create a safe and nonjudgmental space for my clients to build a more compassionate relationship with their own pain and suffering. When we take a more compassionate and loving stance with our own pain, we can then begin to feel more empowered to move towards the things that we most deeply value and desire in life.
I have been working in the mental health field since 2008. After graduating in 2014 with a Master of Social Work from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, I moved to Nashville, TN to continue my education and career working in community mental health.
I use a variety of evidenced-based treatments in my practice with a particular focus on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
You matter, your voice matters, your pain matters. It would be my honor to walk with you on your journey.

Out of Network

Many Insurance companies offer out-of-network services. In this case, a superbill will be provided for reimbursement.

Online Therapy

Online therapy can be beneficial for people who have difficulty attending in-person sessions because of busy schedules, travel, lack of child care, or for those who live too far from the office.

Services are offered through real-time video and audio over the Internet. These sessions are private, confidential, and convenient so that you can connect within a secure online environment.

Many insurance companies cover online therapy just the same as an office visit. If your insurance does not cover this service, self-pay options are available.
