Therapy Services for Adults in Tennessee

Individual Therapy with a Licensed Psychologist

Therapy provides a supportive, collaborative space to explore emotions, develop insight, and work toward meaningful change. It focuses on understanding patterns, building coping strategies, and improving overall well-being over time.

I provide therapy services exclusively to adults in Tennessee. Therapy services are offered selectively and are not always available, depending on my current clinical focus.

Important Service Update

At this time, I am not accepting new therapy clients.

My clinical work is currently focused on:

• Psychological evaluations (primary service)

• An online group psychoeducation course for autistic adults

This page is maintained to provide clarity about the nature of therapy services and to support individuals who may be exploring whether therapy or a psychological evaluation is the best next step.

What Is Therapy?

Therapy is an ongoing process that helps adults:

• Understand emotional and behavioral patterns

• Develop healthier coping strategies

• Improve emotional regulation

• Navigate stress, identity questions, or life transitions

Unlike psychological evaluations, which focus on assessment and diagnostic clarification, therapy focuses on treatment, reflection, and growth over time.

Concerns Commonly Addressed in Therapy

When offered, adult therapy services may address concerns such as:

• Anxiety and chronic worry

• Depression or low mood

• Stress and burnout

• Trauma-related concerns

• Identity exploration

• Emotional regulation difficulties

• Relationship or interpersonal challenges

Therapy is individualized and shaped by the client’s goals and values.

Is Therapy the Right Fit for You?

Therapy may be a good fit if:

• You are seeking ongoing emotional support

• You want space to explore thoughts, feelings, and patterns

• You are interested in skill development and insight over time

Therapy may not be the best fit if:

• You are primarily seeking diagnostic clarification

• You need formal documentation or assessment

• You are looking for a one-time service rather than ongoing sessions

In these cases, a psychological evaluation may be a more appropriate starting point.

Therapy for Adults Only

Therapy services, when available, are provided exclusively to adults. I do not offer therapy services for children or adolescents.

Telehealth Therapy in Tennessee

When therapy services are offered, sessions are conducted in person or via secure telehealth for Tennessee residents and folks nationwide in most states and follow the same ethical and professional standards as in-person services.

Why Therapy Is Not Currently Available

Limiting services allows for depth, quality, and ethical practice. At this time, my work is intentionally focused on:

• Providing comprehensive psychological evaluations

• Developing and delivering a structured group psychoeducation course for autistic adults

This focus ensures that each service offered receives the time, attention, and rigor it requires.

Next Steps

If you are seeking therapy services, I encourage you to explore providers who are currently accepting adult therapy clients.

If you are seeking diagnostic clarification, assessment, or participation in a psychoeducation course for autistic adults, those services are currently available (https://chrisquarto.com/psychological-testing/).
