We are here to help and invite you to come as you are.
Our mission is to build a protected and safe therapeutic space where high-achieving and trauma-impacted adults, teens, and couples feel empowered to heal.
Therapy is a place where you can be authentically you…
without judgment of any kind.
We Believe
Everyone Belongs
We believe every background, identity, and story deserves to be welcomed and honored. Inclusion isn’t just a policy, but it’s fundamental to who we are and how we practice.
Confidentiality You Can Trust
We value complete privacy and trust above all else. Our private-pay, boutique model reflects our commitment to protecting your safety and confidentiality.
Support When You Need It
We believe healing shouldn’t wait so we offer responsive care, timely appointments, and accessible support. These are non-negotiables in how we serve our community.
Relief You Can Feel
We reject the idea that therapy should just help you “cope.” We believe in real transformation that moves beyond survival to experience genuine relief, rest, and possibility.
You Heal on Your Terms
We honor individual journeys and believe every person is capable and whole. Autonomy, self-determination, and deep respect for personal worth guide everything we do.
As You Are Therapy is a private-pay, personalized, and trauma-aware practice created for high-achieving and trauma-impacted adults, couples, and adolescents who want to heal from emotional burdens created by life transitions, high-pressure seasons, stress, and limiting beliefs.
We welcome you to come as you are… to be met with care.

Our Therapy Experience Provides
Concierge Support
We help connect clients with ongoing guidance to trusted specialists, resources, and community support so their healing journey feels more connected and complete.
Private Pay & Enhanced Confidentiality
Clients will experience therapy with true privacy and peace of mind, so they can focus on healing without insurance limits or third-party limitations.
Culturally Inclusive Environment
Every client is welcomed fully with care that honors their identity, beliefs, and background to recognize how current events and cultural realities impact mental health.
Personalized & Trauma Aware Care
Treatment plans are built fully around the clients, their journey, goals, and needs using research-backed approaches for anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and more.
Responsive Scheduling & Access
Our clients have access to easy scheduling with minimal wait times for in-person sessions in Murfreesboro or online therapy across Tennessee and California, so healing fits seamlessly into their life.
Experiential Approach
We believe therapy should be immersive, flexible, and creative. That’s why we offer more than talk appointments from therapeutic book clubs and walking sessions to tailored experiences and a thoughtfully designed office environment. We give you options beyond the clinical status quo so you can learn, heal, and grow in the ways that work best for you.
We Serve
High-Achieving Adults
Who constantly strive for more but feel worn down by perfectionism, self-doubt, stress, and the relentless pressure to perform even when everything looks “fine” or “successful” on the outside.
Adolescents
Facing tough school years, family shifts, changing identities. and overwhelming social and peer pressures, especially those who feel invisible, misunderstood, or exhausted by comparison and expectation.
Couples
Who want real connection and practical ways to break old patterns; overcome burnout or distance; and rediscover trust, intimacy, and joy together.
Anyone impacted by trauma
Including those who’ve tried therapy before but never truly felt heard, accepted, or equipped to move forward. We welcome every story and experience, ensuring each client feels seen, valued, and respected.
