Older Teens & Young Adults
Adults are balancing a lot of stressors. Whether you are a new adult navigating the art of "adulting" for the first time or a rather experienced adult who still feels like adulting is an overwhelming experience, counseling provides a safe place to unpack and process. Just because you are an adult doesn't mean that you have it all together.
Older Adults & Seniors
Just like every stage of life, getting older has both beauty and challenges. Aging can come with new limitations, pain, illnesses or ailments and losses that can lead to difficult emotions, such as frustration, anger, sadness and loneliness. Therapy offers tools to help you continue or to regain your quality of life while living alongside your changing life challenges.

Hi! I’m Ailie
I am a Licensed Clincial Social Worker in the State of Tennessee wtih training in EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Brainspotting. I began my clinical work at Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital in 2014 and opened Being You Counseling in 2021.
My View
I hold a belief that we are all doing the very best we can with the skills and the knowledge that we have. I also hold a belief that sometimes we need support to step into healthier skills and gain knowledge to grow and heal.
Being human is messy, imperfection is our only option, and wow that can be hard to sit with sometimes. I named my practice Being You Counseling because despite the desire you might have to change yourself or better something about your life, you are worthy of love and belonging exactly as you are in this moment.
Being YOU is enough. Messiness and all.
Now let’s grow and heal to be the best version of you.
